正文(英文) | From action on climate, biodiversity, health, gender equality and more, world leaders, academics, young activists and others turned their attention to the United Nations in September with the need to work together for a sustainable future a common refrain. For the first time in the history of the annual event, global leaders were not able to meet in person for the General Assembly’s annual debate, but the 193-Member body’s President, Turkey’s Volkan Bozkir, said in his closing remarks that the COVID-19 pandemic “did not prevent multilateralism from operating at the highest levels.” “The pandemic has diverted resources and attention. But climate change, is still the greatest long-term threat to humanity,” he said, noting that as fires rage, sea-levels rise, and biodiversity is lost, there is even greater urgency in pursuing our climate goals and integrating them in our plans “to build back better from the pandemic.” Below is a recap from an environmental standpoint, with examples of how the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), and issues on its agenda, were featured. 75th Anniversary of the UN An online timeline of environmental milestones highlights how UNEP has served as an authoritative advocate for the global environment since 1972, inspiring, informing and enabling nations and peoples to improve their quality of life without compromising that of future generations.
