UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres has called for oil and gas companies to face special taxes.
His comments came as surging energy prices sparked by the war in Ukraine push industry profits to new highs. Mr Guterres said it was “immoral” for firms to be profiting from the crisis.
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February has worsened a global shortage of oil and gas, disrupting access to oil and gas from Russia – a major supplier – and driving prices higher.

HE IS A LIAR, HE FABRICATES UNTRUE STORIES
Well said.
His words are falling on deaf ears
They are crises everywhere & the are not saying anything how does that concern u UN is a failure 🤔
That women has a weird neck
The secretary is 100% right but US lobbyists will denounce him as communist, they use this scare tactics to protect corporate greed
Rightly so..but the Western governments are just on memory lane ..and stand still attitudes
And how about prosecuting the execs of these companies for the decades of lies about the climate crisis. These are crimes against humanity.
Thank you Mr. Guttirez !

Welcome to Germany 🙋🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
Does bp get their oil and gas from Ukraine or Russia?
These obscene profits are due in no small part to externalized costs and government support, usually in the form of tax breaks.
FINALLY! Someone in power saying what everyone with a brain already knows! GREED! Greed is a terrible thing killing our planet and our poor! Thank you Mr Guttirez!

the planet would be so much better off without any human beings.
He's right
Opinion…
Well, of course. Any story that does down the fossil fuel industry, that has lifted the entire world out of poverty, will be peddled by the BBC.
but sir governments are working for these companies and when politicians finish their career in government they get hired by same companies so how that could work ? we need body that oversee government and body upon body to tackle corruption and greed in each level .
What about communication providers?
TAX TAX TAX TAX TAX TAX TAX
This is so true.
When they cut UN income, there will be an ALTERNATIVE as always
Most useless person of the most useless organisation on this planet. I wonder when they all will die of shame.
They do need to be generous since they all gouge us everywhere
