On the issue of sustainability\u2026<\/p>\n

The President today delivered the keynote address to the Stockholm Environment Institute \u201cCurrents 2023\u201d.<\/p>\n

He used a metaphor of trying to cross the road without a stop light \u2013 from where we are on one side, to the side that is more sustainable, peaceful and inclusive. In the way are the cars of war, disrespect for human rights, climate change and so forth.<\/p>\n

In 2020, there was a policeman \u2013 COVID, which slowed down some of the cars. But it was not enough for us to make a transition to sustainability.<\/p>\n

So what can we do?<\/p>\n

That\u2019s where science comes in.<\/p>\n

Using science to calculate a model of the cars, and figure out how to get from one side of the road to the other.<\/p>\n

The President then goes on to speak about some of the ways that science has made it to the General Assembly this session.<\/p>\n
