UN calls on biggest polluters to 'lead by example'
By EUobserver
UN secretary-general Antonio Guterres on Tuesday urged the biggest emitters of greenhouse gases to "lead by example" and make ambitious commitments to cut their emissions. "This is a credibility test of their commitment to people and planet. It is the only way we will keep the 1.5-degree goal within reach," he said in a virtual meeting. China and the United States are the world's biggest polluters.
