UN General Assembly
2022

The theme of the General Assembly at this session, “A watershed moment: transformative solutions to interlocking challenges”, aptly highlights the urgency and the historic responsibility borne by the political, economic and social actors of our time in the face of the multiple crises facing our planet. While the world is gradually recovering from the coronavirus disease pandemic, other scourges — such as terrorism, intra- and inter-State conflicts and the humanitarian and food security crises they engender, along with climate change and its perverse effects — continue to blight daily life across the world. They serve as a reminder that we are fragile, individually and collectively, that countries and peoples are interdependent, and that international solidarity is urgently needed. If we want to save humankind from collective and inescapable peril, we must not ignore that reminder.
