3. SOUNDBITE (English) Dennis Francis, President, General Assembly:
“There were only 20 women leaders who spoke during the General Debate, down from 23 last year. During high-level week, I had the privilege of reconvening the platform of women leaders, following in the footsteps of my predecessors. I spoke to many leaders of the need to recognize that women's voices, aspirations, and rights matter at every level, from the grassroots to the global stage. And it begins with investing in education, particularly for girls.”
4. Wide shot, delegates
5. SOUNDBITE (English) Dennis Francis, President, General Assembly:
“Whether on climate or on conflict, poverty, or justice, or peace, or strong institutions, these are not just global calls, they are existential calls. Calls measured in lives lost, homes destroyed, rights violated, inequalities persisted, and accesses denied. All these challenges demand that we reach further, that we engage fully in preparations for the Summit of the Future and define the future of international cooperation amid multi-dimensional risks.”

7. Wide shot, press room dais
8. Wide shot, journalists
9. SOUNDBITE (English) Amina Mohammed, Deputy Secretary-General, United Nations:
“Think the response to only having four, only having one out of the five was disappointing, and certainly we might have had more commitments that would have been tangible had they been here on many of the SDGs, but also the more general agenda that was discussed at the debate. However, having said that, 88 heads of state and government came and there were commitments made. There were also conversations that were had that will carry some of this agenda forward.”
10. Med shot, journalist
11. SOUNDBITE (English) Amina Mohammed, Deputy Secretary-General, United Nations:
“We set out to really look at the integrity of those that were going to be the first movers coming through the door. And I think that we got that. There were a large number of people put commitments on the table. But what it also showed is those that should do the most, who have had the most to do with where we are situated on the climate agenda, weren't able to come through the door. And I think that gave us integrity, is that those that have the least to do with it put their first their best foot forward, they continue to do so in spite of the challenges.”
12. Wide shot, press room dais
13. SOUNDBITE (English) Amina Mohammed, Deputy Secretary-General, United Nations:
“Debt is becoming more and more of a burden to many countries that they cannot even cope with paying the service bill in education or in health. And hunger is very much a part of, you know, where the challenges are for import bills for many countries. So, it is, I am enthused that we have over 120 plans that have engaged with us to find ways out of this. We're short of the resources but that's why we're pushing for the SDG stimulus. That is a low hanging fruit. That is something we can do with existing resources and institutions. And I hope by the end of this year, we'll have something to say about that.”

STORYLINE:
Deputy Secretary-General Amina J. Mohammed today (26 Sep) said having only one out of the five leaders of the permanent members of the Security Council attend the General Assembly’s General Debate was “disappointing,” and added that “we might have had more commitments that would have been tangible had they been here on many of the SDGs.”
Addressing the General Assembly on the final day of the high-level segment, GA President Dennis Francis noted that “there were only 20 women leaders who spoke during the General Debate, down from 23 last year.”
Francis said he has spoken “to many leaders of the need to recognize that women's voices, aspirations, and rights matter at every level, from the grassroots to the global stage.”
“Whether on climate or on conflict, poverty, or justice, or peace, or strong institutions,” the GA President said, “these are not just global calls, they are existential calls.”
All these challenges, he continued, “demand that we reach further, that we engage fully in preparations for the Summit of the Future and define the future of international cooperation amid multi-dimensional risks.”
At a later press encounter, Mohammed noted that “88 heads of state and government came and there were commitments made,” and added that “there was also conversations that were had that will carry some of this agenda forward.”
Commenting on the Summit on Climate Ambition, where the United States and China were not invited to speak, she said, “we set out to really look at the integrity of those that were going to be the first movers coming through the door. And I think that we got that. There were a large number of people put commitments on the table. But what it also showed is those that should do the most, who have had the most to do with where we are situated on the climate agenda, weren't able to come through the door.”
Mohammed said, “debt is becoming more and more of a burden to many countries that they cannot even cope with paying the service bill in education or in health. “
She said, “we're short of the resources but that's why we're pushing for the SDG stimulus. That is a low hanging fruit. That is something we can do with existing resources and institutions. And I hope by the end of this year, we'll have something to say about that.”
136 Heads of State and Government, as well as 40 Ministers, spoke at this year’s General Debate.
The General Assembly also held seven high-level meetings, including the SDG Summit, High-level Dialogue on Financing for Development, Climate Ambition Summit, High-level Meeting on Pandemic Prevention, Preparedness and Response, Preparatory Ministerial Meeting for the Summit of the Future, High-level Meeting on Universal Health Coverage, and the High-level Meeting on the Fight against Tuberculosis.
