UN chief Ant\u00f3nio Guterres is calling for greater unity and solidarity to defeat COVID-19 and build a better world in the wake of the global pandemic. The Secretary-General made the appeal on Wednesday in opening remarks to an extraordinary inter-sessional summit of the 79-member Organization of African, Caribbean and Pacific States (OACPS). He said the novel coronavirus outbreak is causing enormous human suffering and economic hardship \u2013 and that it could be followed by other crises that would contribute to the worst economic depressing since the 1930s.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need a much stronger response of unity and solidarity if we are to get through this pandemic together and build a safer, more stable future\u201d, he said, addressing the virtual summit via video-teleconference from New York. He added that COVID-19 is exposing the fragility of the world, laying bare deep injustice and inequalities based on income, gender, race and more. \u201cReturning to the systems that created this fragility is out of the question,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll our efforts must go towards building more equal, inclusive, resilient and sustainable economies and societies, based on the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the Paris agreement (on climate change) and the Addis Ababa Action Agenda (on financing for development).\u201d He added: \u201cThis is essential not only to beat COVID-19, but to tackle the other existential crises we face, including the climate emergency.\u201d<\/p>\n

He reiterated the UN\u2019s call for an economic stimulus package equal to more than 10 per cent of the global economy that gives priority to putting case in the hands of those most badly affected by the pandemic while also increasing social protection for the vulnerable. Debt relief initiatives by the G20 group of rich nations are welcome, but they are not enough, Mr. Guterres said, emphasizing the need to enhance global liquidity, extend debt relief, align global financial systems with the Sustainable Development Goals and combat illicit financial flows.<\/p>\n

The OACPS virtual summit aims to assess the global COVID-19 situation and, in particular, its impact and consequences for the Organization\u2019s member states. In addition, it will identify opportunities for global solidarity and action.<\/p>\n
