On the UN Day 2022

Under the theme “Nourishing Peace”, the UN Day 2022, aims to address how food security and peace are intertwined on an international scale, especially as this year showcased how violence threatens food supply chains globally.

Now, more than ever, we need to bring to life the values and principles of the UN Charter in every corner of the world. By giving peace a chance and ending conflicts that jeopardize lives, futures and global progress. By working to end extreme poverty, reduce inequalities, and rescue the SDGs. By safeguarding our planet, including by breaking our addiction to fossil fuels and kickstarting the renewable energy revolution. And by finally balancing the scales of opportunity and freedom for women and girls and ensuring human rights for all,

…said UN Secretary-General, António Guterres, on the occasion of UN Day 2022.
