Secretary-General’s remarks on climate change at a press
encounter in St. Petersburg, Russian Federation
2 June
2017
[Climate change] is undeniable. And it is one of
the biggest threats to our present world and to the future
of our planet. On the other hand, climate action is
unstoppable. I urge all the governments around the world to
stay the course, to remain committed to the implementation
of the Paris Agreement to the benefit of all of us. And in
relation to US society, I am deeply convinced that states,
cities, the business community, the civil society, will
also remain engaged, will bet on the green economy, because
the green economy is the good economy, it is the economy of
the future. Because this is not only the right thing to do,
it is the smart thing to do, and those that will be betting
on the implementation of the Paris Agreement, on the green
economy, will be the ones that have a leading role in the
economy of the 21st
century.
