UN chief unveils seven-point blueprint for a rapid, fair clean-energy shift
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres laid out a seven‑point plan to end fossil-fuel dependence and accelerate a just transition to clean energy: peak and cut emissions this decade toward net zero by 2050; end fossil-fuel subsidies and tax their profits; require AI data-centres to disclose environmental footprints and run on renewables by 2030; ensure a just transition with jobs and development benefits; boost resilience and adaptation finance; unlock affordable climate finance for developing countries; and defend science against disinformation, warning that the 1.5°C limit remains at risk amid ongoing energy shocks linked to Middle East tensions.
