This is a political body in which governments are represented,\u201d he told UN News in an exclusive interview.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat matters is that [countries] are represented by someone that can [rise to] the present moment,\u201d he said, and added: \u201cSo I&#8217;m not so worried about who\u2019s coming. What I\u2019m worried [about] is making sure the countries that are here \u2026 are ready to assume the commitments necessary to make the Sustainable Development Goals that unfortunately are not moving in the right direction a reality.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Here, Mr. Guterres emphasized the need to reform the current \u201cunjust, dysfunctional and outdated\u201d global finance system to ensure the achievement of the SDGs by 2030. He recalled his $500 billion SDG Stimulus proposal to support developing nations to make sure they have the resources they need to achieve the SDGs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The UN chief further said that his 2023 Climate Ambition Summit will provide an opportunity for countries, businesses, and civil society to step up their efforts to reign in runaway climate change. In a notable departure from standard practice where countries are front and centre, this Summit will give a platform to what the Secretary-General referred to as \u201cfrontliners\u201d, those that are the most committed to climate action, and can share the best practices. \u201cWe are moving to 2.6-2.8\u00b0C of global temperature rise by the end of the century,\u201d he warned, stressing the urgency of returning to the goal of limiting the temperature increase to 1.5\u00b0C above pre-industrial levels. \u201cIt is still possible with political will \u2013 but a lot needs to be done,\u201d Mr. Guterres emphasized.<\/p>\n<p>As for the ongoing war in Ukraine, the Secretary-General reiterated that the central objective is to secure peace, which is just and in line with the UN Charter and international law. However, he cautioned against undue optimism, acknowledging that current conditions may not favour a \u201cserious dialogue\u201d on peace. \u201cI think the parties are far from that possibility at the present moment, but we will never, never stop our efforts to make sure that peace comes to Ukraine,\u201d he stressed.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Guterres also spoke about the unprecedented three ministerial-level talks next week on global public health: pandemic preparedness, universal health coverage, and tuberculosis. \u201cUniversal health coverage is an essential objective of the UN,\u201d he said and added that \u201cit requires not only the UN system to work, but also requires financial systems to be much fairer than they are today. Mr. Guterres also stressed that \u201cone of the things that I believe is essential is increase the resources and the power of the World Health Organization.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/news.un.org\/en\/story\/2023\/09\/1140842\">The UN<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/csr-news-en\/unga78-un-chief-brushes-off-absence-of-key-leaders-says-nations-must-deliver-on-climate-and-development-promises\/\">UNGA78: UN chief brushes off absence of key leaders, says nations must deliver on climate and development promises<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","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":[680,11502,555,755,2134,402,11503],"class_list":["post-116892","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-chief","tag-climate-promise","tag-csr-news-en","tag-deliver","tag-nation","tag-un","tag-unga78"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116892","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=116892"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116892\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=116892"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=116892"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=116892"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
