PARIS – UN chief Antonio Guterres yesterday called for faster action on global warming, challenging AI firms to “come clean” about their environmental footprint and warning that fossil fuels were driving climate and energy crises.
As Europe bakes under a second heatwave in as many months, Guterres delivered a speech in London that painted a stark picture of a planet that has just endured its 11 hottest years on record.
