Klaus Schwab, fondatore del World Economic Forum: "L’incremento demografico ha consentito aspettative di consumo inconciliabili con le risorse del nostro pianeta, mentre l’evoluzione delle nostre società ed economie si sta sostanzialmente rivelando incompatibile con obiettivi come inclusione, eguaglianza e pari opportunità per tutti.

Guterres Urges Leaders to “Do What is Necessary” for Peace and the Planet

The UN Secretary General hopes of bolstering the Paris Agreement on climate change and the ambitious goals that are the bedrock of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.  In a special interview for UN News conducted this week by newly-appointed head of Global Communications, Melissa Fleming, Mr. Guterres lamented that “we are not on track” to meet a 2030 deadline in many aspects, highlighting that the first-ever SDG summit on 24 and 25 September, will inject more momentum.   The UN chief told Ms. Fleming that “more and more of the crises we face, have a multiplicity of factors, from different parts of the world” and resolving these issues begs “more international cooperation” with the UN firmly “at the centre of it.”

As he addressed the General Assembly in his inaugural speech, Mr. Muhammad-Bande said he would “collaborate and coordinate” with the Security Council, and the Secretariat “to ensure that greater attention is paid to prevention rather than reaction to full blown conflict.”
