We need strong regulatory frameworks to change this business model.

The business models of social media companies profit from algorithms that prioritize addiction, outrage and anxiety at the cost of public safety. 

Global Digital Compact as part of the Summit of the Future in 2023. The Compact will bring together governments, the private sector and civil society to agree on key principles underpinning global digital cooperation. This will reinforce the ongoing coordinated approach on cyber security to protect civilians and civilian infrastructure. And I’ve proposed a Global Code of Conduct to end the infodemic and the war on science, and promote integrity in public information, including online.

Our personal information is being exploited to control or manipulate us, change our behaviors, violate our human rights, and undermine democratic institutions.   Our choices are taken away from us without us even knowing it.

I want to begin the year by raising five alarms -- on COVID-19, global finance, climate action, lawlessness in cyber space, and peace and security.

Then Brundtland Report provided a deceptively simple definition of sustainability: "meeting the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs." The official U.N. definition of sustainability has 3 dimensions, or 3 pillars, also known as the "Three Es" of sustainability. These are environmental protection, economic development, and social equity (figure 1).

Sustainability ethics have grown out of environmental ethics. The World Commission on Economic Development brought the idea of sustainability to the global stage in 1987. The United Nations sponsored this study of the relationship between economic development and the environment, published as "Our Common Future," also known as "The Brundtland Report."

today we are facing exceptional and unprecedented challenges and circumstances that will define the future of our world our organization needs to be fully prepared to come up with the appropriate solutions to ensure a balanced recovery and a fast response to the different challenges it is high time we thought of long-term solutions it is high time we achieved more for the future generations and for the youth it is high time we became better prepared for future challenges for establishing a stronger more effective and connected multilateral system in this regard we renew to the secretary general tunisia's full readiness to actively engage with everyone to implement our common agenda

Nepal commends the Secretary-General for bringing out a comprehensive report ‘Our Common Agenda’. We support the report’s focus on the agenda of action designed to accelerate the implementation of existing commitments.

n this connection,I would like to congratulate the Secretary-Generalfor his “Our Common Agenda” report,whichenvisages closer global cooperationon keyissuesand reinvigorating inclusive, networked, and effective multilateralism in orderto foster a peaceful international environment, as well as a better and more sustainable future for all.

In conclusion, we all know that COVID-19 will leave behind a different world. But what sort of a world we want lies in our hands.Mr. Secretary General’s report titled “Our Common Agenda” offers all of us a good reference point for our collective progress.52.For this, I thank the Secretary General for coming out with this comprehensive and bold report for a greener and safer world. Please know that Bhutan is committed to working with other Member States in advancing the ideas in the report. We have full confidence in your leadership to spearhead Our Common Agenda

As the term “GNH” became more pronounced over the years, the world appreciated its relevance in the sustainable and holistic format as opposed to the conventional GDP growth.I am happy to see this concept reflected in Secretary General’s “Our Common Agenda” report, which I would like totouch upon later.

Mr. Secretary General,your recommendations in Our Common Agendaare spot on. We must meet this moment witha new UN ––a new energy, new resources, and new bonds of trust with the people this institution serves. AnewUN that enlists the dynamism of youngpeople, because our action ––and inaction ––directly affects their future.

YourReport to the UNGA on Our Common Agenda isthe blueprintfor a future that isbetter, greener, and safer ––and I would humbly add, “bluer.”We wantthat future for Fiji. We want islandsinhabited by citizens whostandwithnature and not againstit. We wantsustainable economic growth that is powered by clean energy and protected from the impacts of climate change.

We also look forward to an energized second term in office of the Secretary-General Gutierresin service of an inclusive, powerful,and effective multilateralism and Our Common Agenda. We should aspire to deliver on this basis by building the six bridges theSecretary-General has identified for all of us and the peoples of the world.

I have only touched on some of the issues we need to look at. There are other important issues outlined in the Secretary-General’s Roadmap for Digital Cooperation. The Common Agenda also lays out a way forward, on a global “digital technology track”.

As the Secretary-General said in his report “Our Common Agenda”, we should “usher in // a new eera of universal social protection”.

And although the starting points are very different, we need the same approach now. As Secretary-General Guterres wrote in the latest report on Our Common Agenda, ‘In our biggest shared test since the Second World War, humanity faces a stark and urgent choice: a breakdown or a breakthrough. (…) The choice is ours to make; but we will not have this chance again.’

Belize exists today because of the multilateral system. The support of UN Member States for Belize’s territorial integrity and respect for our right to self-determination was critical to the achievement of Belize’s independence. For us the multilateral system is indispensable.For this reason, Belize supports the Secretary General’s thoughtful and forward looking “Our Common Agenda,” which sets out a concise plan of action to accelerate the implementation of our agreed goals, including Agenda 2030.

Last year, we asked the Secretary-General to report back to us –the Member States –with recommendations to advance Our Common Agenda.He has done so. Now we have to act on these recommendations. All of us.The Social Contract between governments and people should be renewed. In our own societies. And at the global level.

We share UN Secretary General’sconcerns in his report on “Our Common Agenda”,and wethink that all UN member states have the responsibilityto commonly contribute to increasing the functionality of multilateral institutions and mechanisms in order to make a tangible difference to people’s lives.

Malgré les appels à un cessez-le-feu mondial qui permettrait de concentrer toute notre énergie sur les urgences planétaires, la pandémie et le climat, et la pleine réalisation des droits humains, les conflits perdurent. Ils sont le résultat de tensions entre Etats et à l’intérieur de sociétés qui reflètent une profonde crise de confiance.Dans ce contexte, la proposition de notre Secrétaire général d’élaborer un nouveau contrat social ancré dans les droits humains et de façonner un nouvel agenda pour la paix est pertinente. Le Luxembourg est prêt à contribuer à ces efforts visant à restaurer la confiance, en assurant aussi le respect du droit international. Sans cela, il ne saurait y avoir de paix durable.

Notre Secrétaire général, Antonio Guterres nous y appelle. Je le remercie pour son action et je lui renouvelle mes félicitations et vœux de succès les plus sincères pour son second mandat à la tête de notre Organisation.Dans le rapport qu’il vient de présenter, « Notre programme commun », le Secrétaire général nous met devant nos responsabilités. Je suis d’accord avec lui quand il dit que « nous sommes à un tournant de l’histoire ». L’avertissement sonne juste dans les circonstances actuelles. Nous devons faire le choix d’agir, le choix du sursaut salutaire conduisant à un avenir meilleur, plus vert et plus sûr.Membre fondateur de l’ONU, le Luxembourg s’engage de longue date pour le multilatéralisme et pour un ordre international fondé sur la règle de droit. Aujourd’hui, mon pays est prêt à répondre à l’appel du Secrétaire général pour mettre sur pied un système multilatéral plus solide, plus efficace, plus inclusif, travaillant davantage en réseau. Ce n’est qu’ainsi que nous pourrons assurer la paix et la sécurité, le développement durable dans tous ses aspects, y compris la santé, le respect de l’Etat de droit et des droits humains.

I also recognise, as I close, the important reality check by Secretary General Gutteres in his call for action on the Common Agenda. The Secretary General’s proposals and recommendations calls for a robust UN system. We cannot progress the Common Agenda without dealing with the system that will carry it.

I commend and thank the Secretary-General on his report and recommendations to advance Our Common Agenda. These provide us with a roadmap for a more inclusive and effective multilateralism. One that includes a voice for the needs of future generations and leaves no one behind.

These experiences remind us of the importance of international collaboration. Japan continues to further promote multilateralism, so that we can resolve the challengesfacing the worldand advance "Our Common Agenda" as upheld by the UN.

We have an immense responsibility towards our future generations. Throughout the world, students and young people have been facing growing frustration because of confinements, education disruptions, and fewer job opportunities.

Let me also congratulate His Excellency Mr. António Guterres upon his re-election as Secretary-General of the United Nations and thank him for his comprehensive report entitled “Our Common Agenda”.

Together with the Prime Minister of Spain, I have launched a network of leaders to support the Secretary-General in taking the Common Agenda forward. Future generations should be at the centre of these efforts. We look forward to contributing to the preparations of a ‘Summit of the Future’ in 2023.

Nous accueillons avec enthousiasme son rapport sur l’Agenda commun qu’il considère comme le point de départ de nos efforts conjoints

we applaud the efforts of the Secretary-General, His Excellency Mr. Antonio Guterres, to spearhead a revampedand reinvigoratedUnited Nationsas detailed in his report on Our Common Agendaand in principle support many of the proposals contained therewith

We must reinvigorate the effective andinclusive multilateralism that givesthe sense of joint participation in shaping our destiny. In this regard, I would like to particularly stress the efforts of Secretary-General Guterres to adopt the latest report –“Our Common Agenda”, which reaffirms the core values of the organization and offers concrete proposals for a more effective United Nations, based on inclusive multilateralism

n order to tackle the pressing global issues, the international community needs the UN to be fit for purpose. We welcome the Secretary General’s recent report “Our Common Agenda”. Engaging a broad array of stakeholders, including young people, civil society and think-tanks will provide fresh energy for change.

t seems that the world is at a crossroad: We can either choose further isolationism and erosion of trust, tolerating the increase of xenophobia, nationalism and right-wing ideas, ignoring the alarming warnings about the state of the environment, and silently accepting increase of inequality in all fields; or we canmake a breakthrough to have amore secure and better future for all and take the path of the “common agenda” –“for people, for the planet, for prosperity and for peace” as the Secretary General Guterres said. Itwouldmeanopting for the future that willbe based on the highest values of equality and justice, responsibilityand solidarity,and not on the retrograde ideologies, selfishness and cheep populism.

I wish to take note of the Secretary General’s Report on “Our Common Agenda” which raises key issue of our common concern such as gender equality, climate change and youth development.

Mr.President, it is against this background of ambition for my countrythat my governmentembraces the vision set out in the Secretary-General’s report entitled, “Our Common Agenda”.We embrace his view that our nations must be driven by solidaritythat he has so eloquently described as “the principle of working together, recognizing that we are bound to each other and that no community or country, however powerful, can solve its challenges alone”.

Je souhaite également exprimer notre profonde gratitude au Secrétaire Général pour la soumission de son rapport intitulé : « Notre Programme Commun ». Nous saluons l'analyse pénétrante des menaces qui pèsent sur la planète, la prospérité et la paix mondiale qu'il contient et les recommandations pertinentes pour une sortie hors de crise. C'est un appel à l'action urgente et au sursaut collectif et constitue un effort réflexif important visant à jeter les bases d'une coopération internationale renouvelée et fondée sur la solidarité.

I am mentioning this because orderly transitions cannotbe taken for granted. And because democracy at work can help reduce the mistrust in and between countries. The kind of mistrustthat the Secretary-General points to in ‘Our Common Agenda’.

Since then we have been working together to fulfill the commitments undertaken inthe Declaration on the Commemoration of the 75thAnniversary of the United Nations.We are grateful to the Secretary-General for his efforts in presenting his report on “Our Common Agenda”, and we commit to strive for its fulfillment.

CaboVerde has no doubts about the future it wants. That is why you can count on our country in this journey, in particular, aiming at the goals you want to undertake and finding the solutions you want to achieve, with your proposal to hold the "Summit of the Future", as you recommend in "Our Common Agenda", namely, "to forge a new global consensus on what our future should look like and how we can ensure it"

More than responding to what was asked of him, in the sense of guiding the responses to the commitments of the Declaration of the 75thanniversaryof the United Nations, the Secretary General, in this proposal of a Common Agenda, offers us his vision of the future of the world and the role of the United Nations in that context.

I congratulate you on the publication, on September 10, of an excellent report entitled "Our Common Agenda", with which you inaugurate your second mandate.

We salute the UN Secretary General's Report on "Our Common Agenda" as aforward-looking blueprint for an enhanced global cooperation to effectively address thecommon challenges

Mr President I am a teacher who is convinced that if we do not use the governments of all the world to help children move forward we will not have accomplished anything. The present is fragile for world diplomacy particularly for multilateralism but I believe that our collective determination will always be stronger and I stand convinced that with the initiative of a new global agenda we can build together a world of peace, a world of friendship, of cooperation and well-being for one and all.

As a school teacher by profession I must call the international attention to the millions of boys and girls and adolescents around the world who are not in school, who are not being educated, a situation which has been worsened by the health care crisis. I am convinced that society's capacity to overcome the complex challenges we must grapple with must include education for our children, our young people. The secretary general's initiative to agree on a new global social contract should be reflected thus, given the serious impact of the pandemic on schools and education it should be reflected thus in an initiative to

We also endorse the historic initiative of secretary general Antonio Guterres to build a common agenda in the world in a post-pandemic world that would establish a new social contract. You have reminded us Mr Secretary General that the 10 richest men in the world combined wealth increased by a half billion dollars since the beginning of the pandemic while we are grappling with the worst employment crisis since the great depression, with millions of people out of work or underemployed. Given the unequal distribution of wealth the Secretary General is asking the world to have a new social contract worldwide which we fully endorse. The same diagnosis and determination of a new social contract is
