A New Global Deal, based on a fair globalization, on the rights and dignity of every human being, on living in balance with nature, on taking account of the rights of future generations, and on success measured in human rather than economic terms, is the best way forward, said Guterres.

Reform of the debt architecture and access to affordable credit must create fiscal space for countries to move investment in the same direction."
