UN General Assembly
2023

In September 2015. in this very Hall, we adopted the Sustainable Development Goals, which embody the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. As leaders, we committed on behalf of our peoples to reducing poverty in 17 key areas and establishing a new world for all. leaving no one behind. The progress report that we considered yesterday at the high-level political forum shows clearly that the world continues to face various interconnected crises that undermine the delivery of Agenda 2030. Indeed, the coronavirus disease pandemic crisis, natural disasters arising from climate change and armed conflicts, including terrorism and violent extremism, are compelling millions of people to continue living in poverty without adequate food or access to education and health services.
