Paris, France (AFP) – Humanity is ‘paying a terrible price’ for inaction on global warming, with time running out to correct the course and avoid climate disaster, UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres said Thursday.

“There is a direct link between increasing emissions and increasingly frequent and intense climate disasters. Around the world, people are paying a terrible price,” said Guterres at the launch of the UN Environment Programme’s Emissions Gap report.
