UN chief sounds alarm on climate crisis

United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres has warned world leaders that the climate crisis is advancing faster than efforts to contain it. Addressing the COP31 climate summit in Turkey, he called for urgent action to cut greenhouse gas emissions and accelerate the shift away from fossil fuels. Negotiators from nearly 200 countries are seeking agreement on expanding electricity use and reviving stalled efforts to reduce dependence on coal, oil and gas. Guterres says rising temperatures and worsening extreme weather show that governments must act more decisively. Stuart Smith, reports.
