NEW DELHI, Sept 8 (Reuters) - U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said G20 leaders have the power to reset a climate crisis that is "spinning out of control" and urged them to reshape global financial rules which he described as outdated and unfair.
"The climate crisis is spiralling out of control.
But G20 countries are in control," he said.
"Together, G20 countries are responsible for 80 per cent of global emissions.
The U.N. chief also called on G20 leaders to ensure a stimulus of at least $500 billion per year towards meeting the Sustainable Development Goals.
