»Wir sitzen nicht alle im selben Boot – einige sitzen in Superyachten«
Rede des UN-Generalsekretärs António Guterres, 20.7.2020 (engl. Originalfassung)
COVID-19 is shining a spotlight on this injustice.
The world is in turmoil. Economies are in freefall.
We have been brought to our knees – by a microscopic virus.
The pandemic has demonstrated the fragility of our world.
It has laid bare risks we have ignored for decades: inadequate health systems; gaps in social protection; structural inequalities; environmental degradation; the climate crisis.
Entire regions that were making progress on eradicating poverty and narrowing inequality have been set back years, in a matter of months.
