The United Nations
Nations must start weighing up the cost of economic profit against damage to the environment if they are to have a chance at a sustainable future, the UN Secretary-General António Guterres said on Tuesday.
The UN chief highlighted that the global economy increased almost fivefold in the past fifty years, but that growth was at a massive cost to the environment.
