Op 25 oktober sprak VN-Secretaris-Generaal António Guterres de Veiligheidsraad toe. Hij stelde de terroristische aanval van Hamas op gelijke voet met de terreur van 78 jaar onteigening, verdrijving en bezetting door de staat Israël, wat bij de Israëlische regering niet in goede aarde viel.

This week, the world broke the daily temperature record. This is yet another demonstration that climate change is out of control and one reason more for increased #ClimateAction ambition and justice. Emissions continue to grow while leaders persist in delaying the key measures needed to change this. This is the moment when we all need to assume our responsibilities. #climatechange

À l’occasion du Sommet pour un nouveau pacte mondial et financier, organisé à Paris par Emmanuel Macron, le secrétaire général de l’ONU est sur notre antenne. Il dénonce la “pitoyable” réponse du monde face à l’urgence climatique, qui nous conduit à une “catastrophe”.

UN Secretary-General António Guterres called for strengthened international solidarity to address pressing global issues. "My objective is to make it clear that …we need cooperation, we need dialogue, and the present terrible geopolitical divides are not allowing it to happen. We need to change course," Mr. Guterres said in a wide-ranging interview with UN News ahead of the General Assembly's annual high-level week. The UN chief is just back from a solidarity visit to flood-ravaged Pakistan, where he called repeatedly for fast – and serious – to not only end what he called "climate carnage" but to provide more support for the countries that are the most-impacted but have done very little to cause the phenomenon.
