UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres Tuesday warned international leaders of a looming “winter of global discontent” in a world beset by multiple crises from the Ukraine war to a warming climate.

“A winter of global discontent is on the horizon,” Guterres said as he opened the annual General Assembly.

“Trust is crumbling, inequalities are exploding, our planet is burning. People are hurting — with the most vulnerable suffering the most.”
