UN Chief Guterres Urges Faster Fossil Fuel Phase-Out at Antalya Climate Summit

He called for coal to be eliminated within 15 years and oil and gas use cut by a third, while urging support for poor countries in transitioning to renewables. The statement reinforces existing UN climate advocacy rather than introducing new policy, but signals continued pressure on fossil fuel producers ahead of COP negotiations.
