UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Monday encouraged a measure at COP28 to gradually get rid of non-renewable energy sources, pressing mediators to show adaptability in the last hours of the environment's peak point.
A day before the planned closure of the highest point in Dubai, Guterres came back to warn that "there are still huge holes" holding up a deal.
"We are in a test of skill and endurance," Guterres told columnists.
"Right now is an ideal opportunity for the most extreme aspirations and the most adaptations," Guterres said. "No, now is the ideal time to go into overdrive
Guterres, who has focused on the environment, has approached intermediaries to put "a designated center for managing the creation and use of petroleum derivatives - the underlying driver of the environmental emergency."
He reached the highest point of realizing the "need to phase out every petroleum product" -- a position that went against the grain of oil producers led by Saudi Arabia.
In his call for adaptability, Guterres said that the concerns of petroleum derivatives producers should also be taken into account and that not all nations will have the same immediate responsibilities.
The call to action "does not imply that all countries should phase out non-renewable energy sources all at once," Guterres said.
"However, it indicates that the level of non-renewable energy sources universally should be viable above pre-modern levels with net zero by 2050 and a 1.5-degree temperature limitation".
