António Guterres warned about an "unsustainable world" plagued by impunity, inequality, and uncertainty during the U.N. General Assembly debate. He highlighted the risks posed by geopolitical divisions, climate change, and nuclear weapons, stressing the need for collective action to address these challenges. Other leaders, such as U.S. President Joe Biden and the Iranian President, also expressed their concerns about global conflicts and emphasized the importance of promoting peace and stability. The recent Summit of the Future aimed to unite nations in addressing pressing issues such as conflicts, climate change, and advancing women's rights.
