Opening remarks by António Guterres United Nations Secretary-General at the Opening of the Economic and Social Council High Level Segment and 2019 High-level Political Ministerial Segment, 29th meeting.
UN chief Antonio Guterres said, “The evidence is clear: development is not sustainable if it is not fair and inclusive -- and rising inequality hinders long-term growth.”
Speaking at opening of the High-Level Political Forum Ministerial Segment today (16 Jul), UN Secretary-General said that for development to be fully inclusive, countries must dramatically scale up public and private investments for the Sustainable Development Goals; take global climate action in a manner that reduces inequality by creating jobs and safeguarding the environment; step up the implementation of the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration; and strengthen their commitments to justice, tolerance, gender equality and human rights.
He said the people of the world “do not want half measures or empty promises. They are demanding transformative change that is fair and sustainable.” He called on countries to use the UN meeting in September to “ratchet up the ambition and highlight the imperative of inclusion.”
