UN General Assembly
2023

I believe that it is important that we be as concrete and as binding as possible. That is why I advocate that we set clear targets in Dubai for the expansion of renewable energies and for greater energy efficiency. We will be equally ambitious when it comes to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Climate action or development — that trade-off will not work. Our Summit yesterday brought home to me how urgent it is that we make up for lost time when it comes to the SDGs. too. We therefore want to use next year’s Summit of the Future, which we are currently preparing with our friends from Namibia, to pick up the pace and push ahead with the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development It is important to me in that context that we ensure more private investment in Africa. Asia. Latin America and the Caribbean.
