UN Secretary-General António Guterres announced the need for collaboration between fossil fuel producers and consumers to address climate change effectively. He stated that the initiative should involve developed and developing nations, financial institutions, and civil society, aiming for a transition plan that aligns investment with energy security and climate objectives.

His announcement follows a UN report indicating rising global methane emissions, primarily from oil and gas infrastructure. Although there was a transition endorsement at COP 2023, global consensus on moving away from fossil fuels remains elusive.
