UN chief calls for restoration of trust

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Friday called for the restoration of trust through the Pact for the Future and the UN80 Initiative.
At their core, both the pact and UN80 are about restoring trust — through concrete action, meaningful reform, and results that people can see, feel and believe in, said Guterres.
“As we all know far too well, trust is in dangerously short supply around the world. We see sharp fragmentation and deep polarization. Conflicts causing horrific levels of death and destruction. Communities deprived of resources for development and resilience. Efforts to defer climate action and deny climate justice. And a frenetic race to build new technologies without guardrails,” he told a General Assembly interactive dialogue on the Pact for the Future and the UN80 Initiative.
