UN Secretary-General Urges Governments to Honor Sustainable Development Pledges
Antonio Guterres says fulfilling sustainable development commitments is both an obligation and an opportunity to build a fairer world, according to Anadolu Agency.
United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has called on governments to honor their commitments to sustainable development, according to a report by Anadolu Agency.
"Keeping that promise is an obligation. It's also our greatest opportunity to build a fairer, safer and more sustainable world," Guterres said, as quoted by the Turkish news agency.
The remarks come amid ongoing international discussions about progress toward sustainable development goals, which UN member states have pledged to pursue as part of a broader global development agenda.
Anadolu Agency did not provide further details in the excerpt regarding the specific context, venue or date of Guterres' statement, nor additional elaboration on which pledges he was referencing.
The UN has repeatedly emphasized the importance of sustainable development goals, a set of targets adopted by member states aimed at addressing poverty, inequality, climate change and other global challenges.
