Heads of State and Governments emphasized the need to rethink global governance and create a fairer, more inclusive multilateral system that will “benefit all countries” rather than “increase the power of a few”, as the Summit of the Future concluded its second and final day.
Warning that inaction could lead the planet “to a dark future”, they stressed the need for Security Council reform, greater youth engagement in decision-making and bold actions to address the adverse impacts of climate change.
Member States highlighted these and other global concerns on Sunday, when they unanimously adopted the Pact for the Future, an ambitious commitment to a new start in multilateralism. CLICK HERE TO JOIN OUR WHATS APP GROUP
GASTON BROWNE, Prime Minister of Antigua and Barbuda, emphasizing that those who have contributed least to the climate crisis are suffering its worst impacts, said: “Big oil, hear this: your days of exploiting the Global South’s natural resources are numbered.”
In the move to renewable energy, “rich industrialized nations must pay for the loss and damage that have devastated our communities”, he added.

Wealthy countries and their industrial giants must pay their dues and invest in a sustainable, equitable future for all, he stressed, adding that bold new international agreements to end fossil fuel proliferation, innovative financial instruments and advanced technology are urgently needed.
Recalling the recently adopted Antigua and Barbuda Agenda for SIDS, he called on the international community to “be as bold as SIDS and to shift focus, not just to sustaining our damaged ecosystems, but also ensuring equity and fairness providing climate and financial justice to all”.
He further called upon leaders and policymakers to commit to an international financial architecture that bridges gaps, alleviates inequalities and fosters sustainable development.
