“We must keep working to make Multilateral Development Banks bigger, bolder and better, enabling them to massively scale up affordable financing for sustainable development, namely in developing countries. We must expand contingency financing through the recycling of Special Drawing Rights that until now have essentially benefitted rich countries and not those that have needed it the most. We must promote effective long-term debt restructuring that puts people and planet at the centre.”

Speaking at the annual meeting of G77 Foreign Ministers, UN Secretary-General António Guterres reiterated that actions are needed in financial justice, climate justice and technological justice.
Speaking on the sideline of the General Assembly High-Level Debate today (29 Sep), Guterres commended the G77 plus China for always pushing for maximum ambition.
On financial justice, the UN chief reiterated the need for fundamental reforms to the outdated, ineffective and unfair international financial system, and an SDG Stimulus to provide developing countries with the resources they need while seeking medium- and long-term solutions.
Guterres said, “We must keep working to make Multilateral Development Banks bigger, bolder and better, enabling them to massively scale up affordable financing for sustainable development, namely in developing countries. “
“We must expand contingency financing through the recycling of Special Drawing Rights that until now have essentially benefitted rich countries and not those that have needed it the most,” he added.
The UN chief also advocate for promoting “effective long-term debt restructuring that puts people and planet at the centre.”
On climate justice, Guterres stressed the urgent need for supercharged action to reduce emissions and avoid the worst of climate chaos.
He said, “G20 countries – which together produce eighty percent of global emissions – have a responsibility to lead.”
The Secretary-General is working closely with President Lula of Brazil to drive action in the G20, he noted.
Guterres also urged every developing country to “make sure new national climate plans double as investment plans and boost sustainable development – harnessing renewables to power prosperity and pull people out of poverty.”
The UN chief will continued to press developed countries to honour their promises; “Doubling adaptation funding to at least $40 billion a year by 2025,” he told the Group.
Guterres said, “Showing concretely how the enormous adaptation finance gap will be closed. And everyone on earth must be protected by an effective early warning system by 2027.”
On technological justice, he stressed, “We must keep working to ensure AI serves everyone, leaving no one behind and it will not be another factor to increase inequalities in the world.”
Uganda is the current chair of the Group of 77 (G77) for 2024.
