It’s that time of the year! The global spotlight will shine on UN Headquarters 🇺🇳 in New York next week as leaders from 193 nations take part in the 78th session of the General Assembly. Together, they will seek solutions to some of the biggest issues facing humanity, including the climate emergency, humanitarian crises, poverty, hunger and other challenges. More on what to expect during the busiest diplomatic week of the year: https://lnkd.in/dmDaB4sj
The U.N. is far from being an ideal creation. It is an entirely unique and to date unreplaceable setting where world and thought leaders can meet and take stock of the state of the world and be held accountable to the people for the decisions they take or do not take. It's up to all of us, individually and collectivelly to put the spotlight on these events, commitments made; decisions taken, achievments and drawbacks. Let's take ownership and responsibility for the state of the world we live in! 💪🌍 💧 🌳 🕊
Hopefully,together leaders will seek solutions to some of the biggest issues facing humanity, including the climate emergency, humanitarian crises, poverty, hunger and other challenges at 78th session of the General Assembly.

Hopefully this gathering will generate concrete ideas for global solutions. For those of us in proximity we will deal with the traffic and disruption of our lives.

Are these people elected to speak for the world...I didn't think so... 🙄
UN should try to make some binding provisions in case of Climate Crisis instead of making member countries to agree on advisory provisions.

1yThis is why we need properly qualified Emergency Managers (Not to be confused with emergency services and response) who have undertaken specific studies in hazards, and disasters and who are properly resourced, and authorised. It is their role to develop systems and processes to prevent or mitigate disasters and advocate for those who cannot. We need educational and career pathways for practitioners where they can build their skills, knowledge, experience and careers. The global community can no longer afford to place unqualified person in these positions, to tick a box when we know without a doubt that these types of events will continue, we need people who are specialised and whose knowledge has been evaluated. Emergency Management is a unique discipline progressing towards becoming a profession. We need to treat it as such and demand more from governments. These are the individuals that help to educate and empower communities in alignment with the Principles of Emergency Management.
