United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres has called for significant reforms in the UN Security Council, highlighting its lack of representation for Africa, Latin America, and several Asian countries. Speaking at the 47th ASEAN Summit in Kuala Lumpur, he emphasized the need to review the veto powers of permanent members, noting proposals from the UK and France to limit their use. Guterres also addressed global financial inequalities, advocating a more inclusive and fair governance structure and urging multilateral development banks to triple their lending capacity for developing nations. On climate change, he stressed that G20 countries, responsible for 80% of greenhouse gas emissions, must lead initiatives, while all nations contribute according to their capacity. He called for concrete agreements at the upcoming Brazil conference to limit warming to 1.5°C and ensure $1.3 trillion in annual climate funding for developing countries by 2035.
