Speaking at the Annual ministerial meeting of the Least Developed Countries, the new president of the UN General Assembly, the Hungarian Csaba KÅÂ'rösi, said that «The consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic, the war in Ukraine and the 'rising costs of food are hitting least developed countries in a serious and disproportionate way' (Least Developed Countries - LDCs).KÅÂ'rösi recalled that “Even before the pandemic, many LDCs were off track in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and had limited capacity to tackle complex challenges such as climate change or food insecurity.However, this year's ministerial meeting takes on a unique significance as it takes place in the midst of a whole series of interconnected crises that creep into our world ”.While noting that "Those external shocks devastated people's lives, reversed decades of development gains and destabilized governments around the world", the Hungarian diplomat also highlighted "The good news that we have the tools at our fingertips. to encourage transformation.The Doha Program of Action, adopted in March during the first part of the crucial Fifth UN Conference on LDCs, provides less developed countries with an important model for overcoming the impacts of global crises.It blazes a path for least developed countries to build resilience and achieve the Sustainable Development Goals, but to get there, we need to work together to ensure that the Doha Action Agenda is implemented.There is no time to lose".And it is strange to hear what until yesterday was the representative of a right-wing and sovereign government admired by Meloni and Salvini, who theorizes "Fortress Europe" and builds anti-migrant barriers and has drastically cut contributions for international cooperation with the cry of “Hungarians first” that «Everyone must contribute.Least developed countries must do their part and, in turn, development partners must deliver on their unequivocal commitment to the Doha Action Agenda.As the most vulnerable countries struggle to tackle global problems not caused by them, now is the time for solidarity and support.The 77th session [of the UN General Assembly] will be the key to shaping the future we want ”.For his part, KÅÂ'rösi promised that "The agenda of the least developed countries will remain a priority of my Presidency" and announced his intention to reunite the Board of Advisers for LDCs, landlocked developing countries (LLDCs) and mall island developing States (SIDS) "To give substantial input on the needs and priorities of those countries in the context of the processes and events of the General Assembly".KÅÂ'rösi also announced upcoming consultations to prepare the SDG Summit in September 2023 and the Summit of the Future in 2024. In addition, the Assembly will evaluate SDG 6 on clean water and sanitation at the first Conference on Water of the UN which will take place after the 1977 one and will focus on the Sendai Framework to create a more resilient planet to disasters.“In all these efforts, integrated risk assessment, knowledge and management are essential.I am committed to giving maximum support to ensure that those events are well prepared and lead to tangible results ».The UN secretary general, António Guterres, acknowledged that «The Annual ministerial meeting of the Least Developed Countries takes place at a time of global danger, in which the least developed countries are bearing the greatest burden.From conflicts to climate disasters and uncontrolled poverty to growing inequalities and a global financial system piled up against least developed countries, the Doha Action Program reminds us that global recovery depends on these countries getting the support they need. ".The UN head asked for “Courageous investments in health, education and social protection systems;financial architecture reform;job creation, particularly in digital, welfare and green economies;gender equality for girls and women;support to end dependence on fossil fuels and initiate a transition to renewable energy.Sustainable development cannot wait ».The welfare sites, which were born in 2002, in addition to news on welfare, politics, trade unions, culture, etc.they are enriched with videos, a media library, news photos, polls, petitions, blogs and letters to the site and host specific sections such as Pianeta Migranti, L'Eco del Popolo and Cremona nel Mondo in collaboration with the reference associations.The idea of ​​building the network of Welfare News portals stems from our concrete experience and from the firm will to believe in the values ​​of solidarity, equal opportunities and human rights, on which we are convinced, more communication and better information must be made.The ambition is to intercept those citizens, young or old, who have the desire to tackle these issues with a long look towards the future.The welfarenetwork.it portal was registered at the Network Information Center for Italy in October 2005 and is now owned by Puntowelfare di GIANCARLO STORTI [Individual enterprise no.REA CR-188702] with registered office in Via Litta, 4- Cap 26100 Cremona with VAT number 01493300196 and CF STRGCR51C10D150T.Tel.
