3. SOUNDBITE (English) António Guterres, Secretary- General, United Nations:
“The international community needs to take urgent steps under current arrangements to relieve the burden on developing and emerging economies. I have advocated for an SDG Stimulus to achieve this. But beyond emergency measures, we need a structural response. The international community must reform the international financial architecture, to make it resilient, equitable, and accessible to all. This Policy Brief sets out ambitious, concrete proposals in six areas, to address historic injustices and systemic bias.”

5. SOUNDBITE (English) António Guterres, Secretary- General, United Nations:
“The policy brief on moving beyond Gross Domestic Product looks at measuring the things that really matter to people and their communities. GDP tells us the cost of everything, and the value of nothing. Our world is not a gigantic corporation. Financial decisions should be based on more than a snapshot of profit and loss. And the policy brief on a Global Digital Compact sets out ways to advance an open, free, secure, people-centred, equitable digital future, at a time of growing anxiety about the impact of technology on our lives. All these briefs provide ideas on how we can revitalize the multilateral system; accelerate efforts to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals; and keep global temperature rise as close as possible to the 1.5 degree limit of the Paris Agreement.”

7. SOUNDBITE (English) António Guterres, Secretary- General, United Nations:
“Most of us will never travel to space. It can be hard to understand why we should care what is happening there, with so much poverty and hunger here on earth. But dramatic advances in space mean that what happens there has implications for us all. Space assets already play a growing role in navigation, internet provision, and monitoring trends on earth, from energy and climate to biodiversity and a host of other vital functions. Nearly forty percent of SDG targets rely on data from space. The policy brief provides you with proposals on mitigating the risks and harnessing the opportunities of space in the most inclusive way possible.”

STORYLINE
Presenting the latest set of policy briefs on Our Common Agenda, Secretary-General Antonio Guterres today (5 Jun) said, “the international community needs to take urgent steps under current arrangements to relieve the burden on developing and emerging economies,” stressing that “beyond emergency measures, we need a structural response.”

The policy brief on reform of the international finance architecture, Guterres said, “sets out ambitious, concrete proposals in six areas, to address historic injustices and systemic bias.”

The policy brief on moving beyond Gross Domestic Product (GDP), the Secretary-General said, “looks at measuring the things that really matter to people and their communities,” adding that “GDP tells us the cost of everything, and the value of nothing.”

He said, “our world is not a gigantic corporation. Financial decisions should be based on more than a snapshot of profit and loss.”

The policy brief on a Global Digital Compact, Guterres told the meeting, “sets out ways to advance an open, free, secure, people-centred, equitable digital future, at a time of growing anxiety about the impact of technology on our lives.”

On the policy brief on outer space, released last week, he said, “most of us will never travel to space. It can be hard to understand why we should care what is happening there, with so much poverty and hunger here on earth. But dramatic advances in space mean that what happens there has implications for us all.”

He said, “space assets already play a growing role in navigation, internet provision, and monitoring trends on earth, from energy and climate to biodiversity and a host of other vital functions. Nearly forty percent of SDG targets rely on data from space. The policy brief provides you with proposals on mitigating the risks and harnessing the opportunities of space in the most inclusive way possible.”

All these briefs, the Secretary-General said, “provide ideas on how we can revitalize the multilateral system; accelerate efforts to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals; and keep global temperature rise as close as possible to the 1.5 degree limit of the Paris Agreement.”

Our Common Agenda is the Secretary-General's vision for the future of global cooperation. It calls for inclusive, networked, and effective multilateralism to better respond and deliver for the people and planet and to get the world back on track by turbocharging action on the Sustainable Development Goals. It outlines possible solutions to address the gaps and risks that have emerged since 2015, calling for a Summit of the Future that will be held in 2024.
