Assembly i have the honor to welcome to the United Nations his excellency emmanuel macron, president of the french republic. And invite him to address the assembly. You have the floor, your excellency. President macron thank madam president. Ladies and gentlemen, heads of friends. Nisters, we are here at the general at a time when the secretarygeneral has chosen such an extremely important topic, but climate as our central topic, which we discussed yesterday and we see and inpatients everywhere we are seeing more and more around the world that many things can lead us to feel pessimistic. We are not meeting the challenge. The demand that we have set for ourselves the goals we have set for ourselves in the area of Global Warming or the combat to protect biodiversity. There are many tensions. The level isrld unprecedented when we see what just happened in the golf a few days ago the persian gulf or when we see the challenges that many of our friends are facing and i see many Friendly Faces here that i know from other regions of the world, these conflicts are more complex and rule against the civilians, humanitarian personnel, rights defenders. It is the age of impunity that has opened. Trade tensions are increasing. Increasing worries about technological change and its impact. A picturent to draw that is extremely pessimistic, and i know you are tired of listening to speeches since this morning. I dont want to give you a litany of reasons to despair, however we have everything to meet these challenges. In an unprecedented way first of all we have the knowledge. Never has science around the world been so abundant to meet the challenges we have and to see the means of meeting these challenges everything we are developing Technology Every year, we have the knowledge and detail. We have the funding. Theres no lack of funding around the world. We have the capacity to innovate that is unequal on a number of topics, a full way of dealing with these challenges. We have means of combating with many of the changes i just mentioned. We have a deep awareness of these problems of the modern world. And also ourple Public Opinions are better informed and aware than ever before and we have a framework framework, an organization of free states thats ready to Work Together to deal with the challenges and prepare for the future. We call it a framework for multilateralism whether it is regional multilateralism or more to deal with specific issues Specialized Organization what are we lacking . Why do we keep pronouncing speeches . Thekeep getting our people illusion that we cant seem to be doing anything about it . Speaking before you, i remember a text that often has given me. Ustenance written in 1968 on the decline of courage. That is what we are lacking is courage. A lot of courage and often enough. I would like to say that the appeal i would like to make to you would be for us to bring on two subjects to start, the courage to Start Building peace and the courage to act responsibly to take responsibility. The courage to build peace because you need courage for time h time it is it means not simply defending your own narrow interests or positions that sometimes have. Ed to escalation of tensions in every region of the world building peace is to take a risk. Making compromise, rebuilding trust. In so many regions, that is what we need. It is what the middle east needs and the region of the gulf, that is a region that needs it. Courage means not simply provocations or reprisal. Action responsible followed by transparency. From the first time i spoke at this General Assembly i shared my convictions on the uranian issue. I sent the strategy of pressure on the irani Nuclear Program can only lead to an increase in tensions in the region. Unless there was a clear prospect for diplomatic solution. In 2018, after the american withdrawal from the vienna agreement 2015i proposed a global framework, making it possible to preserve the jcpoa and complement it with a more expanded approach, dealing with issues raised by the iranian Nuclear Program after 20 to five. Also the role of iran and regional crises and its ballistic programs. What do we have today . The american strategy and the European Russian conditionsuld be the , the terms and goals and targets of these negotiations . Neverrtainty that iran acquire Nuclear Weapons and secondly a solution to a crisis in yemen. Securitya regional plan which also incorporates the other crises of the region and security of maritime navigation and finally a listing of economic sanctions. Im not naive at all and i dont believe in miracles. Courage tot takes build peace and that is why its important for the united states, iran and the signatories to show this courage. It is with the same conviction we will continue our work that thisscussed at length over on syria, libya. With regard to syria i want to salute the encouraging announcement made by the special representative and a step forward and finally establishing the Constitutional Committee that has been so long awaited. We are also looking at the humanitarian situation and we need to be vigilant and demanding. Allll have we are attached to the stability of syria and all of the regions. And the need to protect all of its people and we will continue build an inclusive ting political it will also require securing syrian territory, to allow voluntary and safe return of refugees. A free also require electoral process which will enable all syrians to take part. G7 summit to recall our goals, i very deeply need a that today we reconciliation conference and a strong commitment of the African Union working together with United Nations to achieve this. Many initiatives have been taken and i welcome the engagement of state of all the , akeholders who want peace lasting peace will only be built on the basis of an interlibyan reconciliation. We have always been committed lies ine the future lasting building lasting cooperation. Among the five members. Forces,gement of armed the involvement of the united need, we have to change them and fully incorporate our goals combat and ,errorism, lasting security incorporating those in the mission that we have set for ourselves. To continue involving all the. Rmed forces the region energies into development and stabilization is inset is essential. The decisions were dialogue and Political Solutions are keys to success. Seen in thee have and wew months in sudan didnt even suspect it. Thanks to the force of the sudanese people, the capacity for dialogue, thanks to the work and thankscan union to the role of ethiopia i want to congratulate ethiopia and the region as a whole for its clairvoyance, its courage to build peace. In ukraine, the president has taken the first steps. President putin has responded in kind. Here we know again what should be the next step. Come we have the minsk agreement. We should be able to build lasting peace by working on the ground in the next few weeks we will have the normandy format summit. Topics, theof these same question is asked of us, how to create an effective framework of cooperation between states and i believe it is possible. Dont believe the problems we resolved byan be diluting responsibility or seeing a globalization that disregards our peoples and nations. Back to what mr. What President Trump said this morning. I dont believe the crises we are experiencing can be resolved by turning inward by isolationism, i truly believe in patriotism. Combines athat universal location. I truly believe in sovereignty, a sovereignty that ensures autonomy and independence for oneself. But also with the need to cooperate, what we need to what is to reinvent called a strong multilateralism in my last statement to you. Multilateralism that was repeated but rather a multilateralism based on cooperations that strives to produce concrete results. Weve demonstrated the effectiveness of this contemporary strong multilateralism. Decisions of the weted states to withdraw, had the one planet summit. We made it possible to involve other act actors and stakeholders. By involving new actors, bio launching a new momentum we demonstrated the ratification by russia of the same agreement is a think the demonstration of success of this approach and the coalitions that were formed on various topics are fruit further proof of this. We used to combat terrorism around the world. I welcome the commitment of the some 50 countries joined the initiative. Up torms have been set take concrete action, but we , we have the Effective Response to this. We need to continue this momentum, this capacity of innovating to respond. We need to be inventive, the major challenge for us today is oft we are no longer capable stability in a world that is recently conflictual after a two polar world in which we lived for many decades. Now we have a new order thats replaced the previous one. We are trying to resolve problems effectively and a truly believe the courage to build peace requires reaffirming values. Which cannot be the subject of any relativism. It requires recommitting to these values and all the situations which i managed mentioned to build peace and stability and to offer people concrete solutions. Courage is toof assume responsibility and when we speak of these challenges, we speak of the climate. We know a lot. We see so much. Detail about great the situation of our world today. Find ourselves weaker today because too often we have challenged the truth, challenge facts to give preference to shortterm interest. Sometimes give preference to narrow interest. This has led to a loss of faith and thats a fact. Inequality today has increased once again. Among countries, within countries. Our contemporary capitalism is dysfunctional. Level ofduced inequality that is unprecedented. We are no longer capable of dealing with the new forms of poverty and inequality. It is a lack of equality of opportunity. Gender inequality. Inequality between regions. In access to health. Climate inequality. We speak of the most Vulnerable Countries with them poorest regions have been affected even more by Global Warming or reduction. On all these topics last year i g7ented an agenda for the and the determination to put combat against inequality. I wanted to report very briefly. The eclectic contribution we can that a response begins to emerge. To accompany the collective engagement that we saw. To move away from shortterm thinking and to try and make systemic changes. We commit collectively to have an assertive agenda for its security and stability and development. Broadly to have a reciprocity agenda with africa. Backdrop thathis next june we will have an africa france summit based on partnership and the involvement of Civil Society in this process. That puts gender equality at the center and we somehed an initiative of 250 Million Euros to support Women Entrepreneurs in africa and we will make sure this project is key quickly implemented, this initiative initiated by African Women opera kid by african development. And for which the Major Economic powers have decided to invest in order to support. To protect the victims of sexual violence. It consists first states who choose to join it. To take one National Measure for using best of women practices around the world. Essential because we won that fight in our society. Define this as a crime and take steps to eradicate even more than we have done so far because we seen so many states backsliding of equality between men and women. We see womens rights challenged. Everywhere. Where we see inequalities between men and women become a factor its a step backwards for civilization. Twins, it issm the backwardness that wins. Its a step back for education and growth. Growthback for economic because its to deprive countries of the potential for economic growth. We strongly support the United Nations on this agenda. Three principles of action, emancipate, protect and ensure the principles of equality. 25 years after the base declaration which marked the history of our organization at the time. There can be no question of backsliding or taking a step back. We need to move forward. Battle, this courage to assume responsibility is something we need to think of when we talk of health care. Seeing too much difficulty, too much in accessing health care in regions of the world. Even today on the 10th of , there will be a conference to reconstitute the fund to combat aids, tuberculosis, and malaria. In 2002, kofie annan called on the establishment of a fund to combat inequality in the face of combating mortal diseases. Achieved with the help of the g8. Over 30 million lives have been saved thanks to this fund. We are on the bridge of eliminating major pandemics and in the next few years we might be able to save 16 Million People more. Simply it is inconceivable financial reasons are unequal access there can be no question people shouldnt be able to have access to treatments to prevent or prevent these diseases from spreading again. N we need 14n lyo billion. We have three more weeks and we will work as hard as possible to make sure this global fund is reconstituted and enables us to meet our ambitions. Lastly on climate, because here again we need to fight against inequalities and is one of the ofics on which the courage responsibility must be demonstrated. This constant paradox on climate , we are collectively becoming jaded to it. , westablished a framework give our young people the possibility of speaking their minds and we tell them its great to hear what you have to say and at the same time we keep acting just as we have in the past without changing anything. That cannot continue. Regards toay with the combat against climate need to take concrete change oureed to collective approach. Change thestrive to way we act together. We need to focus on our ambitions. This is crucial if we want to seek to bring the temperature increase below two degrees celsius. In 2020 we need to take k decisions in the area key decisions in the area particular of carbon tax. Taxes and this is absolutely crucial. These courageous decisions are important and they need to be taken right now. To involvee broadly all countries in focusing on being Carbon Neutral by 2050. This, we need to continue to work on this crucial strategy. India has just said it is prepared to get on board with this agenda and coalition. Keen tohina is very focus on climate. It has done so over the past few years. I know that together if we focus on Carbon Neutrality, we can fundamentally change things to meet our objectives. They will be decisive events. The second thing is to bring together our agendas and actions. Say we are doing everything brilliantly, it is fine and at the same time continue to depend on coal and so many countries. It is crucial that each and respecting all the different components understand their limitations. But it is important each country move on and its crucial that the major countries of this world stop financing new polluting facilities in developing countries. Today we are continuing to export financing and there are so many projects in other countries financed by developed newtries that open up polluting structures and in a way we are saying to developing countries, we are saying to ,oorest countries for you Climate Change isnt a thing. You can continue, that is all right in your country. That is inconsistent and irresponsible. Involve everyone as we sought to do on sunday by sustainableinancing development. Everywhere in asia and africa and the american content continent. The future is also to move on from coal and to no longer depend on this. In the same way there is a need funds to have a climate that meet these challenges. There will be the reconstitution in paris of the climate fund and i would urge our major partners here to provide crucial financing. There are many countries that have doubled their input. Take that commitment, it will be decisive. On this topic as i said yesterday, we can no longer have commercial strategies of justting Free Exchange, promote their own agendas and dont take into consideration of Climate Change. I believe in having a Free Exchange but i dont think this must be unreasonable. It must be reasonable, it must include Carbon Neutral carbon zero focus and zero deforestation. At every stage we must find compensation measures but we cant force some countries to make efforts and continue to trade with those who dont do so. We cant make statements from these podiums and continue those products that run against this. It wont change overnight. France itself too often imports products that leads to deforestation. Changes,involves deeprooted changes. It involves partnerships and strategies with countries of origin, businesses and finances. Weve done everything that has to clay. Notollectively we are insistible and we do not on being consistent with words and actions and if we do not marry out climate and trade then we will never achieve it. It needs to be started now. Topics onare two climate i would like to underscore. If we want to be successful in oceans,tle, forest and reducing co2 emissions. On these global issues we are losing the fight, losing the battle. On forests, yesterday through everyones commitment i believe we took an important step forward in terms of defending the forest and the african forests. The reserve of our planet. Countries who have taken i wouldnts and france, like to underscore germany and , there aremmitment International Organizations and affectedmost countries by the amazon as well. May all those who wish to join join but we need to move forward, we need to make progress. Meeting we are going to ensure we invest closer to the ground, we will be products,to promote promote reforestation and all of these different projects to help the amazon and the african forest that helps to preserve the forest are absolute crucial. Combat the destruction of biodiversity. There are major events, the key congress in france and the in beijing as well. Acts takenhave clear by 2020. On the oceans, we are absolutely , itck by the recent report is absolutely devastating. We are currently losing the battle. We started to build commissions with major transport countries which reduce the speed and that is just the start. We are very far from winning. I would like to talk to you about what were doing and here i want to talk about the oceans now with specific actions and we need to do so. A new show action tatian. Action taken. What we are trying to do collectively is crucial. We are collectively trying to change our collective organizations political, economic and social ones to reduce inequality and even better still to prevent that. I dont believe the right response to a contemporary growing inequality in the area takeimate in education place in each country through taxation. It is through education, access it was alsore and through more International Corporations and a real robust agenda to combat inequality. Needmentally that means we a reconciliation of the agenda. What we are seeing in front of our eyes is on the one hand only one hand. I do here attended pushes us to act. Up a groupssors set of experts but this is just rhetoric and what is there apart from that . What there is is a degree of comfort with doing nothing. Weve in action. Isht in the middle of this the group that is perhaps uncomfortable with what people are trying to do. Agenda ofld this reconciliation together and forcefully with young people, businesses, investors, with governments of good faith to say we have the facts, let us continue to establish the facts change our consumer habits, our production habits, our investment habits. Our governmental habits. Collectively we can be involved in this for change. Denunciationn this and inaction will lead to nothing. Courage andrmly responsibilities to look at things straight in the face and to say what youve done. We know some things will take time because in our countries their producers who are depending perhaps on products that arent very good. We have people who live in difficult areas and they have to move around. We cannot put all the blame on them. We need to help them change. We need to propose solutions. Investment,vation, by a true agenda to combat social and climate inequalities. For reconciliation is what we need. That is what i am implementing in france. It is what we need to implement in europe. It is what we need to build here. That is what i wanted to share with you. I believe in the courage to assume responsibility and i believe in the return of courage. I believe we have no other choice. We have to Work Together. S changed. Other more complicated than previously and they care,tand health education, climate, all aware we are going to have to be accountable. In pessimism. Ve it is too easy. I do not believe any in division. Ability ton our propose things, to reflect, to think together, to build an agenda for reconciliation, which will enable us to find a good pace for the future. Thank you very much.
