The United Nations General Assembly is gathering in person for the first time in three years

Secretary-General Antonio Guterres used his address to highlight the ongoing climate crisis and the war in Ukraine.

He says the world must end its “suicidal war against nature” adding this “must be the first priority of every government and multilateral organisation”.

Our world is in big trouble.

Let’s develop common solutions to common problems — grounded in goodwill, trust, and the rights shared by every human being.

Let’s work as one, as a coalition of the world. As united nations. pic.twitter.com/roRwCwUoay

The Secretary-General is calling for global greenhouse gas emissions to be slashed by 45% by 20-30 if we want to have “any hope of reaching net zero by 2050.”

Secretary-General António Guterres addresses the opening of the general debate of the General Assembly’s seventy-sixth session.

His comments follow Europe’s worst heatwave since the Middle Ages, as well as droughts in China, the United States and beyond.

Our world is in peril – and paralyzed.

Cooperation and dialogue are the only path forward.

No major global challenge can be solved by a coalition of the willing.

We need a coalition of the world. #UNGA

He pointed out that G20 countries are responsible for 80 per cent of all greenhouse gas emissions, but the poorest nations are bearing its most brutal impacts.

We are gridlocked in colossal global dysfunction.

The @UN Charter and the ideals it represents are in jeopardy.

We have a duty to act.

We need concerted action everywhere anchored in respect for international law and the protection of human rights. pic.twitter.com/GDwATq56rf

EU probes Meta’s WhatsApp AI chatbot policy for potential antitrust violations affecting third-party developers and competition.

The European Commission has opened an antitrust investigation into Meta over WhatsApp’s new AI chatbot policy. The inquiry examines whether the policy restricts third-party AI developers from accessing WhatsApp’s business tools, potentially breaching EU competition rules.

Meta updated its terms, effective January 2026, which have already barred new AI providers since October 15. The rules prohibit AI developers from using WhatsApp as their primary service, affecting a number of AI companies looking to integrate with the platform.

The EU’s competition commissioner is considering interim measures to ensure fair competition. If Meta is found in violation, it could face fines of up to 10% of its global annual revenue.
