U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said on Thursday that countries must start phasing out oil, coal and gas - not just emissions - and demanded fossil fuel companies "cease and desist" measures that aim to "knee-cap" climate progress.

His remarks come after the United Arab Emirates, which will host COP28, said that talks should focus on phasing out emissions, not fossil fuels. He said that the world must “leave oil, coal and gas in the ground” in order to address climate change.
