"Mr President, 20 years on, we have seen some progress, but we are also aware that there is still a long way to go to achieve the goals that were set back then. There are still 1.4 billion people living in poverty, and the majority of those affected are women.
In Europe there are 80 million people at risk of poverty, which makes this resolution important. The next summit should be used by the international community to address the challenges relating to the three pillars of sustainable development. The Commission and the Council should have an ambitious and united position in the negotiations, with a view to obtaining a strong political commitment to responding to the many challenges, such as the eradication of poverty, health, food, employment, gender equality and energy supply.
The summit should also promote the transition to a green economy, renewable energy and energy efficiency, as well as measures that ensure universal access to energy.
Commitments should also be renewed at the summit in relation to promoting access to drinkable water and healthy food, protection of ecosystems and biodiversity, the efficient use of resources, sustainable forest management and combating deforestation. This is an important and urgently needed plan for defending the planet, as well as responding to the people and improving their quality of life."@en1
