Stopping war, stepping up climate action: Francis wraps up UNGA78

Ending the war in Ukraine, promoting climate action and ramping up efforts to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) topped the agenda of the High Level Week of the UN General Assembly, the man at the helm of the global platform for dialogue said on Thursday.

In his first press conference in post, Assembly President Dennis Francis briefed journalists on highlights from the 78^th general debate of Heads of State of Government from the 193 countries that comprise the UN, which concluded earlier this week.
