UNB, Dhaka :
United Nations (UN) Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has said the UN will continue to bring people together to build bridges and create space for solutions in 2019.
“We’ll keep up the pressure. And we’ll never give up,” he said on Tuesday as New Year begins urging all to confront threats, defend human dignity and build a better future – together.
In recent weeks, Guterres in a message said the United Nations also oversaw landmark global agreements on migration and refugees that will help save lives and overcome damaging myths.
“And everywhere, people are mobilising behind the Sustainable Development Goals – our global blueprint for peace, justice and prosperity on a healthy planet,” he said adding that when international cooperation works, the world wins.
Guterres said the United Nations was able to bring countries together in Katowice to approve the Work Programme for the implementation of the Paris Agreement on climate change.
“Now we need to increase ambition to beat this existential threat. It’s time to seize our last best chance. It’s time to stop uncontrolled and spiraling climate change,” he said.
The UN chief wished fellow citizens of the world a happy, peaceful and prosperous new year.
