‘The world we know is over’ without urgent climate action, leaders tell Cop31

Leaders at the Cop31 climate summit have warned of the dire consequences of inaction on climate change.

Marshall Islands president Hilda Heine said that without urgent action, 'the world we know is over'.

UN chief António Guterres called for a windfall tax on oil and gas firms to fund climate action.

The summit comes as climate change continues to disproportionately affect small island nations.
