MONTREAL, 07 December 2022, (TON): UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres slammed multinational corporations for turning the world’s ecosystems into playthings of profit and warned failure to correct course would lead to catastrophic results.

He said “with our bottomless appetite for unchecked and unequal economic growth, humanity has become a weapon of mass extinction.”

Since taking office in 2017, Guterres, a former Portuguese prime minister, has made climate change his signature issue.
