Guterres urges nations to set fossil fuel phase-out timelines

UN Secretary-General Guterres called on countries to produce credible roadmaps with clear timelines for transitioning away from fossil fuels, framing the current generation as the first capable of ending the fossil fuel age. The call is rhetorical and non-binding, with no new policy mechanism or country commitments announced. It signals continued UN pressure ahead of climate negotiations but carries no immediate market impact.
