In a video message to the Bled Strategic Forum in Slovenia, UN Secretary-General António Guterres spoke about the many challenges the world faces today. He praised Slovenia for taking on the important role of President of the UN Security Council this month.
Guterres highlighted the serious issues affecting our world, such as poverty, hunger, inequality, climate change, and conflicts that are causing immense suffering. He noted that these problems are leading to the largest displacement of people since World War II.
The theme of this year’s forum, “A World of Parallel Realities,” points to the fact that our world is divided. Guterres emphasized that to solve these problems, we must work together to find common solutions.
He urged for quicker action to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and called for reforming the global financial system to better support developing countries. Guterres also stressed the importance of tackling climate change by focusing on renewable energy and supporting those who are most vulnerable, especially people affected by conflicts and emergencies.
The Secretary-General reminded everyone of the need to uphold the values of the United Nations, such as peace, human rights, and the dignity of all people. He mentioned that the upcoming Summit of the Future is a chance for world leaders to introduce new solutions and take action to strengthen global cooperation.
Guterres concluded by urging everyone to come together and work towards a better future.
