Ban Ki-moon

It is my firm belief that high-income countries, which historically contributed the most to carbon emissions, have the responsibility to lead the fight against climate change. These nations have the means and the obligation to address this global challenge more rapidly, setting an international standard for less wealthy nations to follow.

While recognizing the low-carbon advantages of nuclear energy, I have reservations about its expansion due to the catastrophic risks and the unresolved issue of radioactive waste management. Renewable energies are more sustainable and safer in the long term.
