UN Secretary-General Ant\u00f3nio Guterres has called for advertising agencies and PR companies to stop working with fossil fuel companies. \u201cMany in the fossil fuel industry have shamelessly greenwashed, even as they have sought to delay climate action \u2013 with lobbying, legal threats, and massive ad campaigns,\u201d he said. \u201cThey have been aided and abetted by advertising and PR companies \u2013 Mad Men fuelling the madness.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>During a speech to mark World Environment Day in New York on Wednesday, Guterres declared that fossil fuel advertising should be banned in the same way that tobacco ads were banned because of threats to health. \u201cMany governments restrict or prohibit advertising for products that harm human health, like tobacco,\u201d he said. \u201cI urge every country to ban advertising from fossil-fuel companies. And I urge news media and tech companies to stop taking fossil-fuel advertising.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The UN Secretary-General made the remarks during a speech where he announced new data from the World Meteorological Organization showing there is an 80 per cent chance the world will breach 1.5C above pre-industrial times in at least one of the next five years.He labelled fossil fuel companies \u201cgodfathers of climate chaos\u201d. The burning of oil, gas and coal is the main contributor to global warming caused by human activity. Climate campaigners and experts in the advertising industry welcomed the Secretary-General\u2019s call for a ban.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToday is a turning point in the advertising and PR industry\u2019s relationship with climate change and fossil fuels &#8211; there is no longer any cover for agencies to say that they are doing the right thing when working with polluters,\u201d says Duncan Meisel, executive director of Clean Creatives &#8211; a leading anti-fossil fuel campaign group for the advertising and PR industry.\u201cEveryone knows this is wrong, and everyone needs to act. Over 1,100 advertising, PR and creative companies have already taken the Clean Creatives pledge to refuse work from Big Oil, and they are the true leaders on this issue.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/green\/2024\/06\/06\/un-chief-calls-on-governments-to-stop-fossil-fuel-ads-where-are-they-already-banned\">Euronews Green<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/csr-news-en\/un-chief-calls-on-governments-to-stop-fossil-fuel-ads-where-are-they-already-banned\/\">UN chief calls on governments to stop fossil fuel ads: Where are they already banned?<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","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":[11561,555,702,954,14805],"class_list":["post-131205","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-ads","tag-csr-news-en","tag-fossil-fuel","tag-stop","tag-un-chief"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/131205","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=131205"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/131205\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=131205"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=131205"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=131205"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
