The impacts of climate change are "heading into uncharted territories of destruction", U.N. secretary-general António Guterres warned on Tuesday on the release of a multi-agency scientific report reviewing the latest research on the subject.
The report, led by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), warns that the world is "going in the wrong direction" on climate change.
