UN Secretary General António Guterres labelled the global dependency on fossil fuels as a "Frankenstein's monster," causing severe climate consequences like rising seas, heatwaves, and wildfires. Addressing leaders at Davos, Guterres criticized the financial and energy sectors for retreating from climate commitments, especially after Trump's withdrawal from the Paris agreement and his pro-drilling stance. He stressed the urgent need for renewed climate action plans before Cop30 and highlighted the economic potential of renewable energy. Guterres urged continued leadership in climate initiatives, warning of severe economic impacts if prompt action is not taken.
