Secretary-General’s remarks to Climate Summit Preparatory Meeting:
“(…) My message is clear. Solutions exist. First, let’s shift taxes from salaries to carbon. We should tax pollution, not people. Second, stop subsidizing fossil fuels. Taxpayers’ money should not be used to boost hurricanes, spread drought and heat waves, and melt glaciers. Third, stop building new coal plants by 2020. We need a green economy, not a grey economy.”
