Shut polluting industries out of COVID-19 bailout funds: UN Chief Guterres

Carbon-intensive, polluting industries should not receive taxpayer bailouts in the COVID-19 recovery efforts that should instead tackle climate change and pollution, according to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres. "By making the transition to low-carbon, climate-resilient growth, we can create a world that is clean, green, safe, just and more prosperous for all" during the process of recovery from COVID-19, he said on Tuesday in an online address to the Petersberg Climate Dialogue.
