United Nations Deputy Secretary-General Amina Mohammed has expressed optimism that multilateralism remained the solution to solving global challenges, noting that it was struggling to find the path to effective implementation.
She said this at Expo 2020 in Dubai, United Arab Emirates to mark the 2021 UN Day, celebrated on October 24 to remember the official creation of the UN.
Amina noted that in the space of six months of the COVID-19 crisis, cooperation among the world’s top scientists had developed vaccines and multilateralism had delivered a vehicle to ensure their distribution across the world, the COVAX facility.
She said in 2015, the landmark Paris Agreement and 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development were established to deal decisively with the climate crisis and end poverty by 2030.
