The world is facing “a category 5 hurricane,” said UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres. Large parts of the world are dealing with a recession, the climate crisis, wars like the one in Ukraine and the consequences of the pandemic are not over yet.
“And somehow – after all we’ve been through – we haven’t learned the global health lessons from the pandemic. We’re not even prepared for the coming pandemics,” the UN Secretary-General criticized at the conference on Wednesday. World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
“Our world is being hit by a perfect storm on a number of fronts,” Guterres said. All these conflicts piled up “like cars in a mass crash”. Action must be taken to counter this, including a reform of the global financial system and greater commitment to the fight against the climate crisis. “There are no perfect solutions in a perfect storm. But we can work to manage the damage and seize opportunities,” Guterres said.
A level five out of five hurricane is a hurricane of the highest category and destructive power. When such a storm system hits land, devastating damage is to be expected.
