Syria, nuclear arms and refugees top UN Assembly agenda

19 Sept 2016  |  www.aljazeera.com  |  English  |  International Relations

World leaders convene at the UN headquarters to address global issues including superbugs, climate change, and anti-poverty efforts. The recent US air raid in Syria and North Korea's nuclear test add to the agenda. A UN summit on refugees results in a declaration criticized for being insufficient. The US, Russia, China, and other UN members must agree on Ban Ki-moon's successor. The UN climate change deal may be ratified soon, and a new scheme to combat antibiotic resistance is launching. The General Assembly will focus on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), with the aim of ending poverty and hunger by 2030. However, progress is slow, with significant funding gaps and challenges in education and healthcare. Opinions on the SDGs vary, with some seeing them as a comprehensive plan for improvement and others as overly ambitious and poorly defined.
