UN Secretary General Calls For Global Ban On Ads For Fossil Fuel

In a speech in New York, António Guterres called on the news media and tech companies to stop enabling "planetary destruction" by taking fossil fuel advertising money, while warning that the world faces "climate crunch time" in its faltering attempts to stem the crisis.

"Many governments restrict or prohibit advertising for products that harm human health, like tobacco," he said. "I urge every country to ban advertising from fossil fuel companies. And I urge news media and tech companies to stop taking fossil fuel advertising."
