Today, Tuesday, the Secretary-General of the United Nations warned world leaders of the dangers of “global discontent in winter” over the multiple crises facing humanity, from the war in Ukraine to the effects of global warming.
“The purchasing power crisis is worsening, confidence is fading, inequalities are increasing and our planet is burning,” Guterres said at the opening of the annual United Nations General Assembly, denouncing a “colossal imbalance” that hinders addressing problems and finding effective solutions to them.
The Secretary-General considered that “these crises threaten the future of humanity and the fate of the planet.” “Let us not delude ourselves. We are in a rough sea. Global indignation looms in winter,” Guterres said.
Despite these risks, the international community is “paralyzed,” according to Guterres, who pointed to the dangers of “dangerous divisions between the West and the South.”
He pointed out that “geopolitical divisions undermine the work of the Security Council, international law, and the trust, especially that which societies place in democratic institutions.”
“We cannot continue like this,” he added.
