UN chief urges taxes on fossil fuels to fund climate, food price relief


United Nations (United States) (AFP) – UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres urges wealthy nations to tax fossil fuel companies and use the proceeds to compensate for damage from climate change and provide relief over rising prices. “Let’s tell it like it is — our world is addicted to fossil fuels. It’s time for an intervention. We need to hold fossil fuel companies and their enablers to account,” Guterres says in an address to open the UN General Assembly.
