Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will pitch his government’s efforts to unlock private-sector money needed to help meet a set of ambitious United Nations sustainable-development goals as a key part of Canada’s bid for a UN Security Council seat in New York later this month.
In an interview with The Globe and Mail, Canada’s ambassador to the UN, Marc-André Blanchard, said the Prime Minister will deliver the keynote speech at a high-level event hosted by Secretary-General António Guterres on Sept. 24, one day before world leaders convene in New York for the UN General Assembly. Mr. Blanchard said Mr. Trudeau will use his address to highlight the Liberal government’s commitment to help finance the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) focused on ending poverty, fighting inequality and tackling climate change by 2030 – a cornerstone of Canada’s campaign for a Security Council seat.
