In an address at the United Nations General Assembly, President William Ruto called for urgent reforms to the UN system, citing the global failure to adequately tackle escalating crises such as climate change, inequality, and mounting debt burdens in developing nations.
Speaking before world leaders, President Ruto highlighted the urgency of addressing the rapidly evolving challenges facing humanity, warning that without immediate and bold actions, the world is on the brink of an unprecedented global crisis.
“The planet is heating up, our climate is in crisis, oceans are rising, deserts are spreading, and conflict is engulfing the world. millions are displaced, poor, and without access to basic services,” he said.
The Kenyan leader lamented the inadequacies of the current multilateral system in dealing with complex global issues like climate change and financial inequality.
