UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warned on Wednesday that the world is entering an era of chaos due to multiple crises, including the wars in Gaza and Ukraine, and the climate crisis.
He also decried the unprecedented divisions in the Security Council, which is paralyzed due to geo-political fissures.
Guterres called for major reforms to the Security Council, the international financial system, and the global response to complex global shocks.
He also stressed the need to address the climate crisis and to develop ethical norms for the development of artificial intelligence.
Here are some of the key points from the article:
Guterres said that the world is facing a "perfect storm" of crises, including the wars in Gaza and Ukraine, the climate crisis, and the COVID-19 pandemic.
He warned that these crises are leading to a "new era of chaos" and that the world is "sleepwalking towards disaster."
Guterres decried the unprecedented divisions in the Security Council, which is unable to take action on major crises due to the veto power of its permanent members.
He called for major reforms to the Security Council, including expanding its membership and making it more representative of the global community.
Guterres also stressed the need to address the climate crisis, which he called "the defining challenge of our time."
He called for urgent action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to help developing countries adapt to the effects of climate change.
Guterres also called for the development of ethical norms for the development of artificial intelligence, which he said has the potential to be both a powerful tool for good and a major threat to humanity.
The article concludes by saying that Guterres's speech is a "stark warning" about the state of the world and the need for urgent action to address the multiple crises that we face.
