Excellencies,<\/span><\/p>\n

Ladies and Gentlemen,<\/span><\/p>\n

We were told many times that this is \u201cthe implementation COP\u201d. I\u2019m very glad.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This is the moment to bridge the gaps between pledges and their fulfilment.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Pledges to reduce emissions, to improve adaptation measures, to repair loss and damage, and pledges to increase financing \u2013 all need to be put into action.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Plus, this is \u201cthe water COP\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

Let me express my high appreciation to Egypt\u2019s COP Presidency for highlighting these critical ties between water and climate.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Excellencies,<\/span><\/p>\n

The motto of the 77th session of the General Assembly is \u201cSolutions through solidarity, sustainability and science\u201d.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I firmly believe that our thinking, our initiatives and our actions must all be guided by science-based evidence.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Just a few weeks ago in New York, I held a stakeholder consultation attended by over 1,200 scientists, civil society organizations, youth representatives, and many others.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Out of these discussions emerged the so-called \u201cgame-changers\u201d which have the potential to transform current policies and sustainable development as a whole.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Thanks to science, we have now the toolkit for turning our commitments into reality.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And we have now the path from this COP with the <\/span><\/span>UN Water Conference in March, the Sendai Midterm Review, the SDG Summit in 2023, as well as the Summit of the Future in 2024.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s ask ourselves. When this conference ends, will this glass be half full or half empty?\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The glass will be full when we fulfil our pledges and use the solutions we already have.<\/span><\/p>\n

At this COP, we have already two initiatives which are very important to fill this glass: the FAST initiative and AWARE initiative. <\/span><\/p>\n

This glass will be full when we overcome procedure debates and can fully focus on how to address transformation to a water and climate safe development path. <\/span><\/p>\n

So let it be a full glass.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

Thank you<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
