In the context of the Fourth Conference on Financing for Development, UN Secretary-General António Guterres made an urgent call to the international community. During his opening speech, he warned about the risks faced by achievements in areas such as poverty reduction, access to education, and women’s rights, due to the combination of conflicts, climate crisis, and economic slowdown.
Guterres emphasized that “financing is the engine of development,” but this engine currently faces significant failures. With the participation of over 50 world leaders and 15,000 delegates, the conference aims to address the threat posed by the potential inability to meet the 2030 Agenda, a global commitment that requires more than four trillion dollars annually for its realization.
Spanish President Pedro Sánchez is leading this summit and stressed that the decisions made will have a significant impact on the lives of millions. He agreed with Guterres that this is an opportunity to change the global course and promote stronger multilateralism in a context characterized by fragmentation.
One of the key achievements was the approval of the Sevilla Commitment, an agreement aimed at mobilizing resources more quickly, reforming the global debt system, and providing greater representation for developing countries in the international financial architecture. Guterres concluded his remarks by stating that the conference should not be seen as an act of charity but as a matter of justice.
Additionally, the Sevilla Action Platform was introduced, intended to bring together various entities to advance the fight against financial and development challenges. There was a commitment to publish the results and follow up on its implementation.
At a press conference, Guterres urged leaders to lead the reform of the multilateral system before it is too late, in the context of the reform process known as UN80. Sánchez also announced that Madrid will host the United Nations House, marking another step in Spain’s commitment to dialogue and multilateralism in a global landscape filled with distrust and uncertainty.
