"United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres said in his New Year proclamation Sunday that nations around the globe should unite to fight nationalism, xenophobia, and climate change.
Guterres called his message a “red alert.”
“On New Year’s Day 2018, I am not issuing an appeal. I am issuing an alert—a red alert for our world,” Guterres said.
“On New Year’s Day 2018, I am not issuing an appeal. I am issuing an alert—a red alert for our world,” Guterres said.
“As we begin 2018, I call for unity,” Guterres said.
“We can settle conflicts, overcome hatred and defend shared values.”
“But we can only do that together,” Guterres said, noting that 2017 had not turned out to be the year of peace he had hoped for in his last New Year address.
...“At the same time, impacts of climate change worsened at an alarming rate, inequalities grew, and there were horrific violations of human rights,” the U.N. press release said of the secretary’s remarks.“Nationalism and xenophobia are on the rise,” Guterres said.
...“Unity is the path,” Guterres said. “Our future depends on it.”
