BBC World Service - Business Matters, UN head calls for end to fossil fuel adverts

UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres calls for a ban on fossil fuel ads

The world's fossil fuel industries should be banned from advertising to help save the world from climate change, says UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres.

UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres called coal, oil and gas corporations the “godfathers of climate chaos” who had distorted the truth and deceived the public for decades. He said that just as tobacco advertising was banned because of the threat to health, the same should now apply to fossil fuels. 

Also in the programme, Rahul Tandon talks about Canada's interest rate cuts and finds out why a Hollywood film studio is refusing to release a film.

Our guests are Simon Littlewood and Michael Malone.
