'London is cooking' says UN chief in warning on fossil fuels
The Gazette
|June 25, 2026
LONDON is "cooking," the United Nations chief has warned, as he argued that countries cannot double down on fossil fuels in the face of devastating climate change.
-
UN secretary general Antonio Guterres referenced Charles Dickens' novel A Tale Of Two Cities in a major address at London Climate Action Week as the capital swelters in a severe heatwave.
Speaking at the event on Tuesday, Mr Guterres said: "Crisis brings clarity and here in London - the city of Dickens - it is clear that our world is facing a 'tale of two crises'.
"A climate crisis is pushing us deeper towards higher temperatures and closer to catastrophic tipping points and an energy crisis exposing the folly of a world hooked on hydrocarbons.
"On the surface, these crises may seem separate, but they share the same destructive origin: fossil fuels."
