The
Unprecedented situation
After recalling that the pandemic has already killed 1.3 million people and infected more than 59 million worldwide, the Head of State affirmed that "in an unprecedented situation like this, all countries of the world" face "two catastrophes simultaneously."
The first of them has been "an accelerated catastrophe" caused by COVID-19 "that has devastated the planet in a few months" and —the second one— in a "not-so slow motion" of
climate change.
Innovative solutions
Mr. Sagasti also remarked that "in order to jointly address the COVID-19 and climate change crises," Peru considers that "the gaps in multilateralism must be closed."
