"Leaving no one behind: Acting together for the advancement of peace, sustainable development, and human dignity for present and future generations" reminds us that the decisions we take here will define whether we rise to meet the hopes of billions or continue to let inequalities and injustices persist. We owe it to those who look to this body for leadership to act, and not just to talk. The world we live in today is a stark, unfortunate contrast of privilege and hardship. For too long, the voices of those marginalised—those left behind— have been drowned out. They constitute the bulk of humanity. These are the voices of the poor, the displaced, the vulnerable. We cannot, in good conscience, leave them behind. They should be at the centre of our discussions and our decisions.
