2020 has also ushered in the decade of action and delivery, giving us a chance to reassess our journey in achieving the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, in a world where much has changed in the last 5 years.
COVID-19 has also shown that no country, big or small, rich or poor, can face the crisis alone. We have been fortunate that our friends in the international community have helped us in our journey so far.
LIVE NOW—UNGA 75: Reaffirming the world’s commitment to Venezuela w/ @jguaido #LACatUNGA pscp.tv/w/cjtn9jFZTEVK…
“Venezuela's democratic leaders continue to work against political persecution to restore democracy in Venezuela.” @AtlanticCouncil President and CEO @FredKempe opens today's conversation with @jguaido, @JulioBorges, and policymakers from the US, Europe, and beyond. #LACatUNGA
“This is a critical moment for Venezuela. We are experiencing a serious emergency because of the pandemic, aggravated by persecution and crimes against humanity committed by the #Maduro regime,” said Venezuelan Interim President @jguaido. #LACatUNGA
Hablo por Venezuela:
He solicitado formalmente a la comunidad internacional evaluar la implementación de la Responsabilidad de Proteger para los venezolanos, dados los crímenes de lesa humanidad cometidos por Maduro.
Necesitamos acciones oportunas y decisivas por la vida. #UNGA

Hemos resistido delitos atroces perpetrados por la dictadura, con la esperanza intacta en lograr las reivindicaciones de ciudadanos que no desmayan por ver florecer la libertad en su país.
Nuestra lucha no es una pugna por el poder, sino por poder vivir en democracia.
Nuestra lucha no es una pugna por el poder, sino por poder vivir en democracia.
Estamos conscientes de que el sufrimiento por la opresión de dictadores es una causa global común, por la dignidad humana, por la cual vale la pena luchar.
Por eso, hoy levantamos la voz por la lucha de países como Bielorrusia, Nicaragua o Cuba, que también quieren ser libres.

As mentiras que @jairbolsonaro conta na #UNGA #UNGA75 tentam tirar a atenção das suas reais intenções: o projeto de lei que abre terras indígenas para mineração pode representar quase 20 anos de desmatamento na Amazônia e agravar a crise climática global observatoriodamineracao.com.br/pl-de-bolsonar…
Caso aprovada, a proposta pode causar a perda de 160 mil km2 de floresta na Amazônia, área maior que a de países como a Inglaterra. Considerando 2019, que registrou 9 mil km2 de desmatamento, isso significaria quase 20 anos de destruição de mata nativa causado por um único PL.

1/ The Brookings #GlobalChina initiative is rolling out its latest round of research, this one on China’s efforts to adapt global governance to suit its aims. The following thread provides a brief summary of the research findings. brook.gs/2RfI5Gu
2/ Although China traditionally focused on the U.N.’s development activities, Beijing now flexes its muscles in the heart of the U.N. — its peace and security work. Reflections and analysis from Jeffrey Feltman via our #GlobalChina project: brook.gs/2GeFAC7 #UNGA75
3/ At times, Beijing has promoted women’s equality; at others, it has undermined civil society and human rights defenders, critical actors for advancing gender equality. @DariusLongarino explores the record: brook.gs/2Z27iIO #GlobalChina
Today I release my first annual report on the impact of COVID19 on people in poverty, scrutinizing the recent wave of social protection. I find that most measures are maladapted, short-term, reactive, and inattentive to the realities of people in poverty: bit.ly/2Fix7xx
COVID19 is pushing millions into poverty, but the question is not how many, but why: governments were ill-equipped to deal with its socioeconomic impacts, not because they could not anticipate it, but because they never recovered from the austerity imposed after 2010.
The data is clear. Plummeting public investment in healthcare led millions into poverty, as private insurance coverage increased and hospital beds declined. Care work is undervalued and precarious. Social services are underfunded and overwhelmed. People in poverty pay the price.
