UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres appealed for unity to mend a broken world in his first General Assembly speech on Tuesday, but not all world leaders had the same vision for international diplomacy. Guterres outlined grave global challenges - including nuclear peril, climate change and the refugee crisis - and highlighted a disconnect between an increasingly integrated global economy and the lack of a sense of global community. We need to be a world at peace," he added, urging nations to show more solidarity in the face of global challenges. Guterres also encouraged global leaders to step up and help to manage migration. On climate change, Guterres reiterated his message to global leaders to implement the Paris Agreement "with ever greater ambition" and urged countries to "get off the path of suicidal emissions."
