style=\"text-align: center\">\n<p><em>Dr. Natalia Kanem, Executive-Director of the United Nations Population Fund (Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµFPA),<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Mr. Li Junhua, Under Secretary General for Economic and Social Affairs, <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Your Excellency, Ms. Maria Fernanda Espinosa, President of the General Assembly at its 73rd session and Executive-Director of Global Women Voices,<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Ms. Ashley Judd, Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµFPA Goodwill Ambassador, <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Ms. Victoria Flamant, Youth Representative,<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen,<\/em><\/p>\n<p>I am especially pleased to convene this informal plenary meeting to mark the 30th anniversary of the International Conference on Population and Development, coming as it does contiguously with our recent high level Sustainability Week, with which the linkages are strong.<\/p>\n<p>At the historic Conference held in 1994, Governments defined a bold agenda that placed people\u2019s dignity and rights at the heart of sustainable development.<\/p>\n<p>The adoption of the ICPD Programme of Action in Cairo marked a new era of commitment \u2013 by Governments and the global community at large, as well as other stakeholders including civil society and youth leaders \u2013 to integrate population concerns into all spheres of socio-economic and environmental activity.<\/p>\n<p>In this way, the Programme\u2019s inspiring vision anchored the critical issues of population, poverty, the environment, consumption, and production within the wider conversation on sustainability \u2013 acknowledging the interlinked nature of the challenges we face.<\/p>\n<p>And that no single aspect can be addressed in isolation \u2013 but rather as an integrated dynamic whole.<\/p>\n<p>The aim was straightforward \u2013 to improve the quality of life for the present and future generations.<\/p>\n<p>Thirty years on post its adoption, we have seen significant advances and laudable progress in implementation of the Programme \u2013 notably, in the areas of poverty reduction, life expectancy and food security.<\/p>\n<p>Maternal deaths have declined, while access to primary education has expanded, for both girls and boys.<\/p>\n<p>But we must also admit that progress has been uneven \u2013 both within and among countries.<\/p>\n<p>Multifaceted global crises \u2013 from climate change to conflict \u2013 have jeopardized many of these hard-won gains.<\/p>\n<p>Despite these headwinds, the Programme\u2019s visionary objectives have only grown in importance.<\/p>\n<p>Universal access to quality education, gender equality and a reduction in maternal and child mortality are all essential to the success of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and to the realization of its central promise to leave no one behind.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps nowhere is this more visible than in the Programme\u2019s unswerving focus on reducing poverty, improving access to quality education \u2013 and importantly \u2013 recognizing the empowerment of women and girls as a precondition for peace, prosperity, and the well-being of all people.<\/p>\n<p>Today \u2013 with the goal of universality still before us \u2013 we are challenged to ask: How do we build on these gains, and what must we do to address our shortcomings?<\/p>\n<p>We must start by acknowledging that progress across the Sustainable Development Goals will surely continue to stall \u2013 unless we do more, much more, to bridge the gender gap and to reduce poverty and socio-economic inequality, everywhere.<\/p>\n<p>We must certainly do much more to acknowledge that empowered women and girls, children and others in vulnerable situations are central for peaceful, prosperous, and sustainable societies \u2013 and proactively do much more to support and facilitate them in the full realization of their potential.<\/p>\n<p>This means we must do much more to leverage the power of the ICPD Programme of Action to realise a sustainable future for people and planet.<\/p>\n<p>We must therefore take the next bold steps within the context of the ongoing negotiations for the Summit of the Future in September 2024 and preparations for the World Social Summit in 2025.<\/p>\n<p>These processes are part of a continuum of efforts to deliver faster, fairer and smarter on the 2030 Agenda \u2013 and to renew the social contract underpinning a reinvigorated multilateral system.<\/p>\n<p>It was with this in mind that I convened the first-ever Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ General Assembly Sustainability Week earlier this month \u2013 exploring avenues to ignite and accelerate sustainability across the global economy.<\/p>\n<p>And it is also why I chose sustainability as one of the four watch words in the mission of my Presidency \u2013 acknowledging the urgency of the efforts needed to get us back on track to meet our targeted goals.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Excellencies,<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Dear friends, <\/em><\/p>\n<p>In closing, it is worth recalling the apt words of Dr. Nafis Sadik, former Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµFPA Executive Director, who proved to be ahead of the times in understanding that, and I quote:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When the essential needs of the individual are addressed, those of larger groups \u2013 the family, the community, the nation and indeed the planet \u2013 are more likely to be kept in the right perspective.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Many of the challenges that have hampered implementation of the Programme of Action over the last 30 years continue to resonate across our societies today.<\/p>\n<p>So we must find fresh, innovative ways to address and indeed surmount these challenges.<\/p>\n<p>Let us, as the Programme of Action demands of us, reestablish common ground.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Let us cement our efforts, yet again, in our common humanity \u2013 the ethos of the adoption of the Programme of Action thirty years ago.<\/p>\n<p>And let us rededicate ourselves, in earnest, to a shared future of peace, prosperity, progress and sustainability, for all, with all, everywhere.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>I thank you.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>* *** *<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Full video<\/strong>: <a
