Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>The UN chief on Wednesday called on G20 countries to take the lead in delivering climate justice, saying that many vulnerable countries are being forced to respond to a crisis they did nothing to create.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery G20 country has to do more in reduction of emissions,\u201d UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said in an address at a G20 Sherpa meeting in Johannesburg.<\/p>\n

South Africa assumed the G20 presidency on Dec. 1, choosing the theme Solidarity, Equality and Sustainability. It held its first G20 meeting on Monday.<\/p>\n

As the first African country to lead the group of powerful nations, South Africa said its theme seeks to harness global will and capabilities to confront the enormous challenges facing the globe.<\/p>\n

Guterres said that next year every government must deliver new nationwide economic plans in line with limiting the global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees C.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese new plans must cover all emissions in the whole economy, accelerate a just fossil fuel phrase-out, and contribute to energy transition goals agreed at the COP28,\u201d the UN chief said, referring to last month\u2019s UN climate change conference in Azerbaijan.<\/p>\n

Guterres said they need developed countries to support developing ones with adequate, affordable, and accessible financing and technology.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe must also ensure that Africa\u2019s critical mineral resources that can power the renewables revolution worldwide benefit Africans first and most. We cannot repeat the mistakes of the past.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said they need the G20 to lead on technological justice, from digital technology to artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe developing world needs to access and benefit from the technological revolution,\u201d he said, adding that he looks forward to working with South Africa in its G20 presidency.<\/p>\n
