UN Secretary-General António Guterres said yesterday through his spokesperson that he welcomed China and the European Union’s commitments to strengthening cooperation in fighting climate change and ensuring a just global transition.

Guterres emphasized that continued collaboration between the world’s two largest economies—China and the EU—is crucial for making this year’s 30th Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change in Brazil a turning point in tackling the global climate crisis.

He called on all G20 member countries to submit 2035 Nationally Determined Contributions that cover all sectors of their economies and all emission sources, aligning with the goal of keeping global warming below 1.5 degrees. Guterres also urged G20 countries to develop roadmaps for phasing out fossil fuels.
