It does not make sense to go on subsidizing fossil fuels. Some people present the subsidies of fossil fuels as a benefit to the population. No, they are done with taxpayers money. It doesn't make sense to put money to boost hurricanes, or to bleach corals or to destroy communities, said Guterres.
He argued that, on the other hand, tax on carbon can be used to help solve the problems of unemployment.
A win-win strategy is possible if climate action is combined with a fair globalization, in which the resources can be better distributed and better used, he said.
"We do not live in a fair globalization. The dramatic thing is, it's not the African continent, or the small islands in the Pacific or the Caribbean, that contribute more to climate change, but they are the main victims. It's not the poorest communities that contribute more to climate change, but they are the main victims."
"We need to link climate change to a new model of development, a model with more justice among people, and a fair relation between people and the planet."
