UN chief calls for cooperation as global threats deepen

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has urged world leaders to cooperate in confronting major global threats, according to ABC News US. Guterres said power had polarised the world, the report said. He called for collective action on the climate crisis, runaway artificial intelligence and intensifying inequalities.

The appeal links those challenges to a wider concern about divisions among countries and the concentration of power. The supplied source material does not provide the setting or full text of Guterres’s remarks. It also does not identify specific measures he proposed or name leaders who responded to his call.

The UN chief’s message, as described in the available material, was for governments to work together rather than allowing geopolitical divisions to obstruct action on the three threats.
