UN General Assembly
2023

We have striven, with some success, to adopt the codes, recommendations and good attitudes aimed at achieving the 17 Sustainable Development Goals, but the structural problems, asymmetries of all kinds and a lack of trust in democratic institutions on the part of our populations are increasing. We should not hesitate to point the finger at those responsible for climate disruption within the Group of 20. or at the bodies of global economic governance that continue to ignore our social and environmental objectives, in particular by denying us access to financial resources in reasonable quantities and conditions. Even more worrisome is the fact that we are witnessing an increasing polarization and fragmentation of the world and global governance, with its growing proportion of populism and nationalism. The very digital technological society, which could have been the catalyst for the development of our countries and global citizenship, is becoming a new source of inequality, wealth concentration and domination. Inequality, a lack of respect and a lack of inclusion can lead only to ever- greater fractures and setbacks.
