Highlighting the seriousness of the impact of climate change on the planet and its inhabitants, United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres recently delivered a major speech calling for sustained action to meet this global challenge and to ensure a peaceful and sustainable future for all.

"The effects of climate change are dangerous and they are accelerating," Secretary-General Guterres told a gathering of students, business leaders and academics at the New York University Stern School of Business.

Laying out a five-point action plan to mobilize the world for climate action, the Secretary-General underscored first that he will intensify political engagement with countries to increase efforts "to limit temperature rise to well below 2 degrees Celsius and as close as possible to 1.5 degrees Celsius."

A PDF copy of this speech, entitled "Climate Action: Mobilizing the World," is available here. The text is also available online here.
