2:05 am
perhaps of all time, the picture we've seen with the covid vaccines in the garbage expired and unused. on the one hand we see them developed in record time but on the other hand, you see the treasury of the lack of political will, selfishness mistrust. a surplus in some countries and the majority of the world vaccinated, over 90% of african still waiting for the first. we are getting an f ethics. excellency. the bells are ringing. recent reports on climate change

2:08 am
when people see promises of progress and realities of the harsh daily lives when they see fundamental rights and freedoms that, when they see grants corruption billionaires joyriding to space while millions go hungry on earth, when parents see a future for their children even bleaker than the struggles today and young people see no future at all. the people we serve and represent only fair government and institutions but in the values to work united nations for 75 years. human rights, dignity for all and aquatic, solidarity. in the crosshairs. promises after all in their

relation to the effect of governance of the goods. contracts my provides accommodations that take on the challenges of today multilateralism for tomorrow. the agenda built on it and universal declaration of human rights in the agenda for development and the parents climate agreement. it's in my given by the 75 declaration to seek a best way to a better world. the promises we much must have a
2:11 am
great divide. i see six great divides grand canyon's we must reach now. we must bridge the piece divide. peace and stability means a distant dream. in afghanistan for we must boost humanitarian assistance and human rights especially women and girls. immediately trying the best and creating conditions for the start on the dialogue. it's wavering support to the people in their pursuit of democracy and human rights and the rule of law. we were advised international assistance for security development and in places such as yemen meant stalemate push
2:12 am
for peace. palestine will be leave a meaningful dialogue recognizing the two state solution. in haiti and so many other places left behind and solidarity through every step of the crisis. we are seeing an explosion of power by force. geopolitical divisions are undermining international corporation in limiting the capacity to take necessary decisions and a sense of impunity is taking hold and at the same time it's impossible to address number develop challenges while the world to largest economies are at fault with each other.
2:13 am
skipping tort two different trades by financial and technology in their approaches in the development of intelligence and ultimately the risk of geopolitical and this is a recipe for trouble. it would be far less predictable than the cold war. our trust and hope, we need corporation and dialogue and understanding. we need to invest in this building and shared efforts to counter terrorism. we need actions and respect for human rights and the comprehensive agenda for peace. excellency. second, the climate divide. this requires trust. despite doing all we can to
2:14 am
create the conditions, we need more ambition for all countries these areas, mitigation, finance. countries can meet by concrete 2030 and kept them there with actions now. developing nations finally seeing $100 billion figure and mobilizing resources of international financial institution and the private sector, too. that means leaving them to their promise and support in developing countries to build resilience to save lives and livelihoods this means 50% provided by developed countries
2:15 am
and developed banks. in 2019 by climate finance. they follow their lead, all must do so. don't wait to make the first move, to your part. we see them led by young people fully mobilized on the climate crisis. the private sector is stepping up governments summoned the full force of the powers to make the shift of the economy. solutions instead of their incomes to make green jobs. by adding subsidies and free up resources and education and renewable energy in the systems
2:16 am
and social protection for their people. the plants become operational and we will not only be clear about 1.5 degrees, will be well above 2 degrees and it will go up in smoke these coalitions of solidarity and countries with financial and technical resources to support them. we have the opportunity and obligation to it. excellency. third, we must bridge the gap between rich and poor within and among countries. it starts by adding the pandemic for every one, everywhere. we need global vaccination plan in production and ensure it 70% of the population in the first
2:17 am
of 2022. this plan is by the emergency force and potential vaccine uses and organization and international financial institutions working with the company's. we have no time to lose, lopsided recovery is with inequalities. by the end of the year while the impact may last for years in low-income countries, is it any wonder the economies are investing 28% of gross domestic product and economic recovery or middle income countries falls to 6.5%. it's 1.8% of the least developed country and 90% of a much smaller amount. international monetary checks
2:18 am
and economic special light international fund. they are largely going to the countries that need them least and they should reallocate to the countries in need. they are not a silver bullet but provide space bar sustainable recovery. i renew my call for an equitable production. the suspension initiative must be for 2022 and available for vulnerable middle income

2:20 am
and women. when a pandemic hit, women were the majority of hotline workers, the first to lose their job first to put their careers on hold to care for those close to them. girls were disproportionally hit by school closures in the but there develop and increase their risk of abuse. bridging the gender divide is not only a matter of justice for women and girls, it is a game changer for humanity. society was more equal
2:21 am
representation in stable and peaceful and better health systems and more vibrant economies. women's equality is essentially a question of power. must emergency transform mail dominated world shift the balance of power for the most challenging problem and that means more women and leaders, cabinets. it means women represented in making full contribution everywhere. i urge government and other institutions to take both steps including benchmarks and photos to create gender parity from the leadership down in the united nations we have achieved this among the senior management are team leaders. we will keep going until we have
2:22 am
parity at every level. at the same time, we need to push back against the rest the institutional eyes discrimination, women rights and human rights. the plan should focus on women including large-scale investments in the economy and we need an emergency plan to fight gender-based violence and every country. to achieve this goal and build a better world, we can and we must bridge the gender divide. excellency, restoring trust and inspiring hope means bridging the digital divide. half has no access to internet. we must connect everyone by 2030 this is a vision of my roadmap
2:23 am
for digital corporation to embrace the promise of digital technology while protecting people from its account. one of greatest faced isn't growing reach offering digital platforms and that abuse of data. the library of information is is humble and about one of us would not even have the keys to it, we don't know how the information has been collected for these purposes but we do know our data is being used commercially to boost profits. behavior patterns are being modified and consult. our data is being used to influence these opinions. governments and others control

or manipulate people's behavior and violate human rights of individuals or groups undermine democracy. this is not science fiction, it is scientific fact. thoughts required in this discussion. so to do other dangerous in the digital frontier, i am sorry any future major confrontation and heaven forbid it should ever happen will start with a massive cyber attack. where other legal frameworks to address this? today autonomous weapons targets kill people without human interference. they should be thanked. for there is no consensus on how to regulate technologies and restore trust inspire hope we
2:26 am
agenda. high level of anxiety and distress over the state of our planet. some 60% of your future photos perpetrate by their governments. we must prove to children and young people despite the seriousness of the situation what does have the government making enough the great divide humanity and the planet.
