UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres highlighted to world leaders at a climate meeting on Monday in Egypt that there is only one option to stop global warming: either work together or die “collectively.
Nearly 100 heads of state and government were meeting for two days in the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh to consider requests to further decrease emissions and provide financial aid to developing nations already harmed by climate change.

He said “Humanity has a choice: cooperate or perish,” Guterres told the UN COP27 summit.
“It is either a Climate Solidarity Pact or a Collective Suicide Pact,” Guterres said, urging the world to ramp up the transition to renewable energy and for richer polluting nations to come to the aid of poorer countries least responsible for heat-trapping emissions.
Nations around the world are dealing with increasingly severe natural disasters that have claimed thousands of lives and cost billions of dollars this year alone, ranging from devastating floods in Nigeria and Pakistan to droughts in the United States and Africa and unprecedented heatwaves across three continents.
“We have seen one catastrophe after another,” said Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi. “As soon as we tackle one catastrophe, another one arises — wave after wave of suffering and loss.
“Is it not high time to put an end to all this suffering?”
However, a slew of other problems, ranging from Russia’s war in Ukraine to surging prices and the lingering impacts of the Covid epidemic, have generated concerns that governments may prioritize other issues above climate change.
Guterres, however, told world leaders climate change could not be put on the “back burner”.
He called for a “historic” deal between rich emitters and emerging economies that would see countries double down on emissions reductions, holding the rise in temperatures to the more ambitions Paris Agreement target of 1.5 degrees Celsius above the pre-industrial era.
Current trends would see carbon pollution increase 10% by the end of the decade and put the world on a path to heat up to 2.8C.
“We are on a highway to climate hell with our foot still on the accelerator,” Guterres said.
