"Our world is challenged like never before.From #climatechange, to conflicts, to #COVID19, which is putting the Sustainable Development Goals further out of reach. It would be easy to lose hope. But we are not hopeless" @antonioguterres

"We have a path to recovery. Ifwe choose to take it. That’s what this SDG Moment is all about.Coming together to save our planet. And today we are coming together with @BTS_twt" @antonioguterres

"Two weeks ago, I launched Our Common Agenda –A plan to re-boot the multilateral system and gather the world around our common objectives. Because only by recovering together can we get the SDGs back on track"

I see five areas for urgent action.
1⃣End this pandemic.
2⃣Stay on track toend poverty by 203
3⃣Equal rights for women and girls.
4⃣Climate Change
5⃣Work together

"Let the setback that the world has seen strengthen our resolve and reinforce our determination to recover from the pandemic and to build the #SDGs

Together it is possible"

@UN_PGA #SDGMoment

"We must move beyond to simply overcoming the #COVID19 crisis to build back better and stronger" @TheBlueHouseENG.

"Together with the @BTS_twt, the first Special Envoy from the private sector I hope that today's gathering will serve as an opportunity to mobilize the future generations to the #SDG...

Guided by the conviction that nobody is safe until everyone is safe" @thebluehouseng

BEST MOMENTS OF #BTSatUNGA SPEECH

"There were times during the past two years when I too felt bewildered and troubled, but still, we had people who cried out "let's live on, let's make the best of this moment"
@BTS_twt

"We are in the ideal time of our lives to take on new challenges. It wasn't as if you could blame anyone. You must have felt the frustration... the world changed like if we were transported in a flash to a parallel one"
@BTS_twt

"It was a time for us to mourn, for the things that #COVID19 took away from us, a time to discover how precious each and every moment we had taken for granted was "
@BTS_twt

"Everyone agrees that #ClimateChange is an important problem but talking about the best solution might be, that's not easy. It's a topic that is tough to make conclusions about" @BTS_twt

"I learned that there are many young people interested in environmental issues and choose it as their field of study.
The future is unexplored territory, and that's where we more than anyone will spend our time. And they are searching for the answers"

"I hope we just don't consider the future as grim darkness. We have people concerned for the world and searching for answers. There are still many pages left in the story about us and I feel like we shouldn't talk like the ending has already been written"
@BTS_twt

"Sometimes it feels like the world is stuck in place. It feels like if you've lost your way. There was a time when we felt the same way"
@BTS_twt

"I've heard that people in their teens and 20's today are being referred to as #Covid lost generation. That they lost their way at the time they needed the most opportunities...but I think it's a stretch to say they're lost" @BTS_twt

"In these pictures, you can see there are kids that are trying to learn new things... They are not lost, they are finding new courage and taking on new challenges"
@BTS_twt

"Instead of the lost generation, a more appropriate name would be the 'welcome' generation because instead of fearing change, this generation says "welcome" and keeps pushing ahead"
@BTS_twt

"If we believe in possibilities and hope, even when the unexpected happens we won't lose our way, but discover a new one"
@BTS_twt

"There will be choices we make that might not be perfect but that does not mean there won't be anything we can do"
@BTS_twt

What is important are the choices we make when we are faced with change right? Some of you heard the news that we were coming to the UN and a lot of you were wondering whether we were #vaccinated... and yes all seven of us, of course, we received #COVID19Vaccination

We thought the world stopped but it continues to move forward, I believe that every choice that we make is the beginning of change, not the end. I hope that in this... new world we can say to each other: "Welcome".
