Simon Kent<\/a> – January 12, 2021<\/p>\n

Out with the old, in with the new. That was the mantra U.N. Secretary-General Ant\u00f3nio Guterres espoused as he promised the world will never be the same again in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n

Embracing the chance to push \u201chumanity on a path on which it is not in conflict with nature,\u201d is the desire of the former leader of the Portuguese Socialist Party,\u00a0 who urged \u201cgreater efforts by everyone to protect biodiversity and step up climate action.\u201d<\/p>\n

Addressing world leaders at the One Planet Summit on Monday, Guterres outlined<\/a> how he saw a brave new world of the future, based on the theme of a great climate and economic reset he has espoused<\/a> before. Guterres said:<\/p>\n

We have been poisoning air, land and water \u2013 and filling oceans with plastics. Now, nature is striking back: temperatures are reaching record highs, biodiversity is collapsing, deserts are spreading, [and] fires, floods and hurricanes are more frequent and extreme\u2026\u00a0We are extremely fragile.<\/em><\/p>\n

Pandemic recovery is our chance to change course. With smart policies and the right investments, we can chart a path that brings health to all, revives economies and builds resilience and rescues biodiversity.<\/em><\/p>\n

The U.N. chief, 71, said he envisaged a new future alignment between \u201cpublic and private financial flows\u201d that obeyed the Paris Agreement commitments to \u201cintegrate the goal of carbon neutrality into all economic and fiscal decisions.\u201d<\/p>\n

Organized by the French Government in partnership with the United Nations and the World Bank, the One Planet Summit brought together world leaders \u201cto commit action to protect and restore bio-diversity.\u201d Due to the coronavirus outbreak, the event was largely virtual.<\/p>\n

Monday\u2019s call by Guterres for the world to unite and rebuild was not the first time has has voiced the belief that a crisis can be an opportunity for vast global change.<\/p>\n
