'World leaders should declare states of "climate emergency" in their
countries to spur action to avoid catastrophic global warming, UN
Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has told a climate summit.

Key points:

* Mr Guterres asks: "Can anybody still deny that we are facing a
dramatic emergency?"

* G20 countries are spending 50 per cent more in their rescue packages
on sectors linked to fossil fuel production than low-carbon energy

* Diplomats are watching for stronger pledges from countries like China,
India and Japan"

It really is an emergency, and long past time we started acting
accordingly. We’re going to need heroic efforts from every country'

Cheers,
