Africa-Press – Eritrea. Francis said, “War. Climate change. Debt. Energy and food crises. Poverty and famine. These crises are directly impacting the lives and well-being of billions of people around the world.
They are rolling back decades of hard-won development gains, and thus condemning millions to lifelong intergenerational poverty and hardship. It is at times like these that we must search deep within to find our better selves and our common humanity that impels us to meet the moment.
I therefore implore you, let us use this forum for that which it was intended. ” Despite these many and complex challenges, continued Francis, the world has “the capacity to effect change, consequential change.
” The President added, “We can make a meaningful difference to the lives of billions of people, if we so choose. We do not lack capacity. What we lack is the will to act.
By putting aside our differences and bridging divides we can deliver Peace, Progress, Prosperity, and Sustainability to everyone, everywhere. So let us step up and take action now.
