In a speech marking 60 years of UN Trade and Development \u2013 the agency previously known by the acronym UNCTAD &#8211; the UN Secretary-General highlighted the multiple challenges standing in the way of a more sustainable and inclusive global economy for all.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNew and protracted conflicts are having a ripple effect across the global economy. Global debt has soared while key development indicators, including poverty and hunger, have regressed,\u201d Mr. Guterres told the UN Trade and Development Global Leaders Forum. On a flying visit to Switzerland, Mr. Guterres reprised previous warnings that the world\u2019s international financial architecture \u201chas been exposed as outdated, dysfunctional, and unjust\u201d. It has \u201cfailed to provide a safety net for developing countries mired in debt\u201d, the UN chief insisted, as he issued the worrying assessment that the international trading system faces pressure \u201con all sides\u201d, to the extent that it is now \u201cteetering on the verge of fragmentation\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Against this deeply concerning backdrop, and amid escalating geopolitical tensions, rising inequality and soaring debt, Mr. Guterres insisted that the role of the Geneva-based agency UN Trade and Development was \u201cmore relevant than ever\u201d in working for a more sustainable and inclusive global economy, through trade and investment.The UN agency cannot be neutral on development problems \u2013 \u201cjust as the World Health Organization could not be neutral on malaria\u201d, the UN chief said, referencing the famous words of Raul Prebisch, UNCTAD\u2019s first Secretary-General.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTrade has become a double-edged sword: a source of both prosperity and inequality; interconnection and dependence; economic innovation and environmental degradation,\u201d Mr. Guterres said, as he urged greater dialogue between nations in the face of a near-tripling of trade barriers since 2019, \u201cmany driven by geopolitical rivalry, with no concern for their impact on developing countries\u201d. He added: \u201cThe world cannot afford splits into rival blocs. To implement the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) &#8211; and to ensure peace and security \u2013 we need one global market and one global economy, in which there is no place for poverty and hunger.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/news.un.org\/en\/story\/2024\/06\/1150951\">The UN<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vaufien\/guterres-hails-60-years-of-un-trade-and-development-action\/\">Guterres hails 60 years of UN trade and development action<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[14914,14915,606,607,608],"class_list":["post-131467","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-development-action","tag-un-trade","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/131467","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=131467"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/131467\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=131467"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=131467"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=131467"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
