The 2030 Agenda had the consensus of all of the international locations of the world and is the clear path to face the great inequalities and injustice that exist on the earth. And, due to this fact, I make this enchantment to all international locations, now that the G20 negotiations are underway, to have a spirit of consensus, to indicate good sense, and to seek out the chances of remodeling this G20 assembly into a hit, with choices which can be related to the worldwide order. If the G20 is split, it loses significance on the world stage.

The 12 months 2024 ought to be the most well liked 12 months in historical past. We see the impacts in every single place. And we need not go far. The drought within the Amazon and the floods within the South of Brazil are convincing examples of this.
Now it’s time for the biggest economies to guide by instance. Failure shouldn’t be an choice. There are numerous challenges, however there are additionally many doable options. That is essential to revive confidence and legitimacy to the worldwide system, he added.
It’s apparent that the US is essential to include the local weather disaster. Nonetheless, the US is a federal nation and a market economic system. And all of the indicators from the market in the present day are to prioritize greener and cheaper sustainable vitality manufacturing choices. So I’m assured that the dynamism of the American economic system and American society will transfer within the path of local weather motion, recognizing that the affect of governments in the present day is way lower than it has been prior to now, he went on.
Concerning the UN’s Safety Council, Guterres underlined that it was a physique from the world of 1945 which incorporates no African or Latin American everlasting members, which doesn’t match in the present day’s world. It has additionally confirmed to be inefficient as a result of political divisions. As well as, it has a legitimacy drawback as a result of it doesn’t symbolize the truth of our instances. Subsequently, there’s a must reform it with the addition of latest international locations, particularly from the World South, be them everlasting or not.
In his view, the Council’s reform is among the important pillars of change in order that we are able to have a fairer world.
On the Center East, I imagine that we can’t have doubtful positions. We’ve got to use the identical ideas in every single place. We’ve got to use worldwide legislation. And within the Center East we want peace, however peace in a method that ensures the rights of the Palestinians, in addition to the rights of each Israelis, to have two states dwelling in peace and safety. And, on the identical time, we have to handle the rapid disaster. We will condemn the Hamas assault however acknowledge that they don’t justify the collective struggling of the Palestinian folks.
