The G7, which consists of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States, together with the European Union, is meeting in the city where the first atomic bomb was dropped in 1945, a place which Secretary-General Ant\u00f3nio Guterres described, as a \u201ctestament to the human spirit\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhenever I visit, I am inspired by the courage and resilience of the Hibakusha\u201d, he said, referring to the survivors of that dreadful act of war. \u201cThe United Nations stands with them. We will never stop pushing for a world free of nuclear weapons.\u201d Mr. Guterres said his message to the G7 leaders was clear and simple: \u201cwhile the economic picture is uncertain everywhere, rich countries cannot ignore the fact that more than half the world \u2013 the vast majority of countries \u2013 are suffering through a deep financial crisis.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He reiterated his view first expressed in an official visit to Jamaica last week, that the problems facing developing countries had three dimensions; moral, power-related, and practical. Elaborating on the \u201csystemic and unjust bias\u201d in the global economic and financial system; the outdatedness of the global financial architecture; and the fact that even within the current rules, developing economies had been let down and sold short; the UN chief said the G7 had a duty now to act.<\/p>\n<p>He said the financial system created by the Breton Woods realignment post World War Two, had simply \u201cfailed to fulfil its core function as a global safety net\u201d, in the face of the economic shocks from COVID, and the Russian invasion of Ukraine. He said the time had come to fix the Breton Woods system, and reform the UN Security Council. \u201cThis is essentially a question of redistributing power in line with the realities of today\u2019s world.\u201d He said the G7 can no longer be a bystander: \u201cIn our multipolar world, as geopolitical divisions grow, no country or group of countries, can stand by as billions of people struggle with the basics of food, water, education, healthcare and jobs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Highlighting the perils of overlooking the pace of climate change, he outlined the specific areas where the world\u2019s richest were central to the success of climate action. The current projections show humankind heading for a temperature rise of 2.8\u00b0C by the end of this century, he told journalists, and the next five years are likely to be the hottest ever, according to latest figures from the UN weather agency, WMO. He said the G7, with it\u2019s huge economic and financial clout, was \u201ccentral to climate action\u201d, which is working, \u201cbut not enough and we are clearly off track&#8221;. \u201cOur Acceleration Agenda aims to make up for lost time. It calls for all G7 countries to reach net zero as close as possible to 2040, and for emerging economies to do so as close as possible to 2050.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A Climate Solidarity Pact calls for the G7 to mobilize resources to support less well-off economies in accelerating decarbonization, to stay within the 1.5\u00b0 limit on heating, compared with pre-industrial levels.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis requires faster timelines to phase out fossil fuels and ramp up renewables. It means putting a price on carbon and ending fossil fuel subsidies. I call on the G7 to phase out coal completely by 2030\u201d, the UN chief said. But he also made a call for climate justice, on behalf of the countries who have done the least to cause the crisis, but are suffering the most. \u201cWe must ramp up adaptation and early warning systems to help communities on the front lines\u2026It\u2019s high time for developed countries to provide the promised $100 billion per year\u201d, he added. And he also reiterated that the Loss and Damage Fund agreed in Sharm el-Sheikh, during COP27 last year, \u201cmust be operationalized.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/news.un.org\/en\/story\/2023\/05\/1136872\">The UN<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/csr-news-en\/g7-nations-central-to-climate-action-says-guterres-calling-for-global-reset\/\">G7 nations, \u2018central to climate action\u2019 says Guterres, calling for global reset<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[2903,612,555,1539,1901],"class_list":["post-114359","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-action","tag-climate","tag-csr-news-en","tag-g7","tag-guterres"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/114359","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=114359"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/114359\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=114359"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=114359"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=114359"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
