The United Nations’ secretary-general Antonio Guterres used his speech on the second day of the COP31 climate summit to call for greater progress on transitioning from fossil fuels to clean energy. He emphasised the need to move from merely discussing the transition to organising, financing and delivering it. COP31’s joint hosts Turkey and Australia have been urged to lead the transition, but Alden Meyer from climate think tank E3G notes that it took 28 years of annual COP negotiations for the first mention of a transition away from fossil fuels to be included in the annual summit’s final decision.
