Sarah Yenesel/EPA, via Shutterstock Climate and Ukraine at the U.N. The U.N. secretary general, António Guterres, convened a special summit yesterday in New York designed to shine a spotlight on the most ambitious global leaders on climate policy.

Russia’s foreign minister, Sergey Lavrov, was not present for Zelensky’s speech. When Lavrov spoke later, he justified his country’s invasion, reiterating claims that the West had staged a “coup” in Ukraine to install a pro-Western president. Zelensky had left the chamber by then and was not present for Lavrov’s remarks. What’s next: Zelensky is heading to Washington today.

The development could create thousands of new refugees and spell the end of decades of Armenian efforts to assert sovereignty in the mountainous Caucasus region. The area is home to tens of thousands of Armenians who stayed after a 2020 cease-fire. Addressing his nation, President Ilham Aliyev of Azerbaijan asserted that pro-Armenian authorities surrendered after two days of fighting in Nagorno-Karabakh region. “Karabakh is Azerbaijan,” he said, putting his fist in the air. Effects: The return of the enclave to Azerbaijani rule is likely to alter power dynamics in the South Caucasus. The Armenian separatists’ surrender could hasten the decline of Russian influence in the Caucasus, where the role of Moscow as an arbiter in the decades-old conflict made it a pivotal power.

The new policy risks alienating large sections of the electorate at a time of growing public awareness of global warming. Brushing aside sharp criticism from business leaders, environmentalists and some of his own Conservative lawmakers, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said he would stick to Britain’s overall goals for achieving net zero by 2050. He would do so, he said, in what he described as a more “sensible” way that did not “impose such significant costs on working people.” Details: Sunak said that he would delay a ban on the sale of gas and diesel cars, lower targets for replacing gas boilers and propose no new measures to discourage passengers from flying.

ARTS AND IDEAS Noah Throop How rap is written today When rappers write songs, they’re as likely as not to use no actual writing at all. Much of modern rap music is composed via an improvisational studio technique known as “punching in” — a freestyle approach to every line, one at a time, until a song is fully formed. Is this technique good for the music? The jury is out, even within hip-hop.
