In a speech lasting almost eight minutes, the minister said: “We must reaffirm a generous vision of our common future as humanity, uniting the end of hunger and suffering, fighting against all forms of social exclusion, affirming the opportunity One must have the courage to do it.” Prosperity for all and decisively confronting the climate crisis. The development of each individual must be seen as a condition for the development of all.”
Haddad welcomed South Africa, the country that will replace Brazil in the rotating presidency of the group of the largest economies on the planet. In his speech, he reiterated that energy transition with environmental protection and exploration of new methods of production is a necessary condition for the future of humanity.
The minister also published on his Instagram account:
“The world expects concrete and viable solutions.
We need to have the courage to affirm the liberal vision of our shared future as humanity, the end of hunger and poverty, the fight against all forms of social exclusion, the opportunity for prosperity for all, and a decisive confrontation with the climate crisis.
We must work together to ensure that the super-rich pay their fair share in taxes to tackle inequality.
To promote policies capable of supporting strong, sustainable, balanced and inclusive development around the world.
We need to facilitate a rapid and equitable energy transition compatible with protecting lives, livelihoods and biodiversity around the world.”
