· World · Channels Television, News18
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has declared that the world has entered an extreme weather "danger zone," warning of mounting climate-related disasters across continents. The warning comes as severe heatwaves, floods, and wildfires intensify in 2026, with the UN calling on governments to accelerate emissions cuts and climate adaptation funding.
