"The challenge is immense because it involves emerging within a decade from a civilisation that has been based on fossil fuels for several centuries," France Environment Minister Barbara Pompili said in a statement.

Así lo advirtió este jueves el secretario general de Naciones Unidas, Antonio Guterres.
