Excellencies,<\/p>\n

I<\/span>f\u00a0the<\/span>re\u00a0i<\/span>s\u00a0on<\/span>e thing that we have learned from COVID-19,\u00a0as<\/span>\u00a0well<\/span>\u00a0as<\/span>\u00a0from\u00a0the<\/span>\u00a0on<\/span>going climate crisis,\u00a0i<\/span>t\u00a0i<\/span>s that\u00a0i<\/span>t\u00a0i<\/span>s those who are furthest behind who suffer\u00a0the<\/span>\u00a0hardest, who wait\u00a0the<\/span>\u00a0longest, who are deprived\u00a0of<\/span>\u00a0development gains that are, far\u00a0to<\/span>o\u00a0of<\/span>ten, wiped away by whatever crisis comes\u00a0the<\/span>ir way.<\/p>\n

Our recovery from\u00a0the<\/span>\u00a0pandemic must reflect\u00a0this<\/span>\u00a0knowledge.<\/p>\n

Resilience must be our mantra.<\/p>\n

Every new building, every new social programme, every budget\u00a0and<\/span>\u00a0every\u00a0i<\/span>nitiative must be designed\u00a0and<\/span>\u00a0executed\u00a0i<\/span>n a way that\u00a0reduces\u00a0<\/i>risk<\/span>.\u00a0I<\/span>t must be embedded\u00a0i<\/span>nto everything we do, from\u00a0the<\/span>\u00a0very beginning,\u00a0and<\/span>\u00a0cross-checked at each step\u00a0of<\/span>\u00a0the<\/span>\u00a0way.<\/p>\n

And<\/span>\u00a0the<\/span>\u00a0i<\/span>mportance,\u00a0no<\/i>,\u00a0the<\/span>\u00a0necessity<\/i>,\u00a0of<\/span>\u00a0this<\/span>\u00a0will\u00a0on<\/span>ly\u00a0i<\/span>ncrease.<\/p>\n

Disaster<\/span>s\u00a0and<\/span>\u00a0hazards\u00a0as<\/span>sociated with climate change are\u00a0on<\/span>\u00a0the<\/span>\u00a0rise.<\/p>\n

Urbanization continues\u00a0to<\/span>\u00a0present new challenges.<\/p>\n

The<\/span>\u00a0conflict\u00a0i<\/span>n Ukraine\u00a0i<\/span>s fueling\u00a0the<\/span>\u00a0threat\u00a0of<\/span>\u00a0famine.<\/p>\n

And<\/span>\u00a0social systems are strained under\u00a0the<\/span>\u00a0pressures\u00a0of<\/span>\u00a0a pandemic that continues, more than two years after\u00a0i<\/span>t began.<\/p>\n

We must work\u00a0to<\/span>\u00a0address\u00a0the<\/span>\u00a0vulnerabilities that exist while at\u00a0the<\/span>\u00a0same time preparing\u00a0for<\/span>\u00a0those shocks that may yet emerge.<\/p>\n

This<\/span>\u00a0requires us\u00a0to<\/span>\u00a0i<\/span>nvest\u00a0i<\/span>n a transformative recovery that amends gaps\u00a0i<\/span>n economic policy,\u00a0i<\/span>n social support,\u00a0i<\/span>n environmental regulations,\u00a0and<\/span>\u00a0i<\/span>n production\u00a0and<\/span>\u00a0consumption.<\/p>\n

Everything about\u00a0the<\/span>\u00a0way we live\u00a0on<\/span>\u00a0this<\/span>\u00a0planet must now be seen through a precautionary lens, ever mindful\u00a0of<\/span>\u00a0the<\/span>\u00a0volatility that exists,\u00a0and<\/span>\u00a0laser focused\u00a0on<\/span>\u00a0covering gaps\u00a0and<\/span>\u00a0strengthening defenses.<\/p>\n

Such a transformative recovery requires more than policy,\u00a0i<\/span>t requires whole-of<\/span>-society ownership.<\/p>\n

The<\/span>\u00a0private sector must join us\u00a0i<\/span>n\u00a0this<\/span>\u00a0regard,\u00a0and<\/span>\u00a0not\u00a0on<\/span>ly because\u00a0i<\/span>t\u00a0i<\/span>s\u00a0the<\/span>\u00a0right thing\u00a0to<\/span>\u00a0do, but because\u00a0i<\/span>t\u00a0i<\/span>s\u00a0the<\/span>\u00a0smart thing\u00a0to<\/span>\u00a0do.\u00a0I<\/span>nvestments, from whatever source\u00a0the<\/span>y come from, must be\u00a0risk<\/span>–i<\/span>nformed\u00a0and<\/span>\u00a0resilient.<\/p>\n

As<\/span>\u00a0I<\/span>\u00a0stated last year, at\u00a0the<\/span>\u00a0climate event that\u00a0I<\/span>\u00a0convened\u00a0i<\/span>n September,\u00a0the<\/span>\u00a0i<\/span>nsurance sector\u00a0i<\/span>s a vital\u00a0and<\/span>\u00a0i<\/span>nsufficiently tapped partner, especially given\u00a0the<\/span>\u00a0sector\u00a0i<\/span>s acutely aware\u00a0of<\/span>\u00a0i<\/span>ncreasing\u00a0risk<\/span>s. We must do more\u00a0to<\/span>\u00a0engage\u00a0this<\/span>\u00a0sector\u00a0on<\/span>\u00a0the<\/span>\u00a0global<\/span>\u00a0level\u00a0to<\/span>\u00a0achieve\u00a0the<\/span>\u00a0levels\u00a0of<\/span>\u00a0change we want, while reducing\u00a0disaster<\/span>\u00a0risk<\/span>\u00a0and<\/span>\u00a0systemic cascading\u00a0risk<\/span>s.<\/p>\n

Excellencies, colleagues,<\/p>

I welcome you all to our second meeting and our first interaction following the resumed part of the session.<\/p>

Before I begin, I would like to recognize the loss of our dear friend and esteemed colleague, Ms. Gail Farngalo.<\/p>

A Liberian national, Gail was my Team Leader for Human Rights and was active on gender during both the 75th<\/sup> and 76th<\/sup> sessions. She leaves behind a legacy of achievements and a groundswell of respect and affection from across the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ and diplomatic communities. Her presence is certainly felt here today.<\/p>

Colleagues,<\/p>

When I took on this Presidency of Hope, I pledged to make gender equality a priority area for the 76th<\/sup> session. I continue to look to the board for its wisdom and expertise, as I endeavour to fulfil that pledge.<\/p>

In this regard, I have already benefited from the board\u2019s advice, from when we met on October 28th<\/sup> last year.<\/p>

Acting on that advice, I committed to ensuring that all my five rays of hope, and all my major initiatives, are approached with a gender lens.<\/p>

I made sure that the composition of my office is gender-balanced.<\/p>

I have committed to participating only in panels that have equal gender representation.<\/p>

Throughout my official interactions and travels, I have endeavoured to meet with women, including heads of states and governments, scientists, civil society representatives, and youth.<\/p>

And I am proud to inform you that five young women have been recruited into the Fellowship for HOPE<\/em> that my office recently launched. The Fellowship as you are well aware is targeted at benefiting young diplomats from underrepresented countries, pursuing careers in diplomacy or public service.<\/p>

Colleagues,<\/p>

While recognizing that we have a long way to go in the battle for gender-equality, I am proud of what my team has been able to accomplish within the past few months.<\/p>

Our work continues.<\/p>

We will continue to raise our voices on issues disproportionately impacting women, such as domestic violence and work place harassment. We will continue to push the importance of gender-equal work spaces.<\/p>

And we will continue to find new paths to empower young women with ambitious professional aspirations.<\/p>

Now is not the time to rest on our laurels.<\/p>

With the board\u2019s guidance and support, we must use the many opportunities over the coming months to further empower women and girls, and dismantle discriminatory practices against them.<\/p>

There are several upcoming events that will provide us such opportunities. I look forward to the board\u2019s suggestions on how we can best utilize them.<\/p>

As an example, the International Day of Women and Girls in science is fast approaching. We must recognize that women\u2019s contributions in science and technology have helped us cure diseases; discover new horizons in space; and develop technologies that have vastly improved our quality of life.<\/p>

As we celebrate their achievements, we must also open pathways for young girls who aspire to follow in the footsteps of pioneers in science and technology.<\/p>

Colleagues,<\/p>

Let us also reflect that the theme chosen by the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women for this year is on \u201cachieving gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls in the context of climate change, environmental and disaster risk reduction policies and programmes\u201d.<\/p>

As we strive to meet our obligations to the planet, let us recognize the important work done by women and girls at the forefront of the climate crisis, and whose humanitarian work in disaster-stricken areas has helped save lives and rebuild communities. We owe it to them to not only celebrate their work but to support them.<\/p>

Colleagues,<\/p>

Our programme of work for the months ahead has been circulated to members prior to the meeting, for consideration and feedback. Please note that the events we have planned are not exhaustive. I welcome further suggestions from the board on the content and format of future events and activities.<\/p>

Colleagues,<\/p>

We have made much progress within a short while. And with the board\u2019s support and guidance, I am sure that we can keep up this strong momentum.<\/p>

I look forward to working alongside all of you to achieve our vision of a gender-equal world.<\/p>

Thank you.<\/p>","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[111],"tags":[550,556,553],"committee-meeting":[],"class_list":["post-266078","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-speeches","tag-ga","tag-pga","tag-shahid","et-doesnt-have-format-content","et_post_format-et-post-format-standard"],"yoast_head":"\nOpening
