U.N. Leader Calls for Countries to Meet $100 Billion Climate Fund Commitments
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres hosted a roundtable discussion
with world leaders on the climate crisis, calling on nations, including
the United States, to meet their commitments to a $100 billion-a-year
climate fund. Guterres's call came just weeks before the U.N. is set to
convene a crucial climate summit in Glasgow, Scotland.

Secretary-General António Guterres: "My message this morning and to the
Conference of Parties in November is that we need decisive action now to
avert climate catastrophe. And for that, we need solidarity. Saving
these and future generations is a common responsibility."
