\n— Secretary-General’s message<\/a>
\nThis year\u2019s International Day of Peace comes at a crisis point for humanity. COVID-19 has turned our world upside-down. Conflicts are spinning out of control. The climate emergency is worsening. Inequality and poverty are deepening. And mistrust and division are driving people apart at a time when solidarity and collaboration are needed more than ever. As a human family, we face a stark choice \u2014 Peace or perpetual peril. We must choose peace. That is why I call for a 24-hour ceasefire today. And by working in solidarity for a lasting, sustainable peace every day, we can tackle the issues facing us. We need peace to urgently deliver lifesaving vaccines and treatment for COVID-19. We need peace to recover from the pandemic and re-build shattered systems and shattered lives. We need peace to level the playing field and reduce inequalities. We need peace to renew trust in one another \u2014 and faith in facts and science. And we need to make peace with nature \u2014 to heal our planet, build a green economy, and achieve our net-zero targets. Peace is not a na\u00efve dream. It\u2019s a light in the darkness. Guiding us to the only pathway to a better future for humanity. Let\u2019s walk the pathway of peace as if our lives depended on it. Because they do.<\/p>\n
