The UN scribe, in his New Year’s Message said the, “world
welcomes 2022 with our hopes for the future being tested by deepening poverty
and worsening inequality; by an unequal distribution of COVID vaccines, by
climate commitments that fall short.”
He added that the future was equally tested by ongoing
conflict, division, and misinformation, insisting that these are not just
policy tests but moral and real-life tests.
Guterres, however, said they were tests that humanity could
pass, “if we commit to making 2022 a year of recovery for everyone.”
He added: “Recovery from the pandemic — with a bold plan to
vaccinate every person, everywhere. Recovery for our economies — with wealthier
countries supporting the developing world with financing, investment and debt
relief.
“Recovery from mistrust and division — with a new emphasis
on science, facts and reason. Recovery from conflicts — with a renewed spirit
of dialogue, compromise and reconciliation.
“And recovery for our planet — with climate commitments that
match the scale and urgency of the crisis.”
According to him, moments of great difficulty are also
moments of great opportunity, to come together in solidarity, to unite behind
solutions that could benefit all people, and to move forward together with hope
in what our human family can accomplish.
He said: “Together, let’s make recovery our resolution for
2022.
