UN chief ‘disappointed’ by climate talks outcome

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres says Sunday he is “disappointed” by the results of a major UN climate summit in Madrid, calling it a missed opportunity to tackle the global warming crisis.

Guterres issues the statement as the COP25 concludes its marathon meeting voicing “the urgent need” for new carbon cutting commitments but falling well short of what was needed.

“I am disappointed with the results of COP25,” Guterres says. “The international community lost an important opportunity to show increased ambition on mitigation, adaptation and finance to tackle the climate crisis.”
