UN chief urges governments to end fossil fuel subsidies
Original: "‘Subsidising suicide’: UN chief urges governments to stop propping up polluting fossil fuels" # UN # UnitedNations # Fo
The United Nations Secretary-General has called on governments to stop propping up polluting fossil fuels, branding the practice 'subsidising suicide'. The remarks, reported by Euronews, frame continued financial support for oil, gas and coal as a direct threat to humanity. The stark language has drawn attention to ongoing debates over public money flowing to the fossil fuel industry.
Why now: The UN Secretary-General's unusually stark 'subsidising suicide' phrasing is drawing attention to fossil fuel subsidies.
