World leaders are coming to New York where the work of the United Nations General Assembly will begin on Monday: from the British Boris Johnson to the French Emmanuel Macron to the Italians Giuseppe Conte with the new Foreign Minister, Luigi Di Maio. On Sunday evening the American president Donald Trump also arrived, who has already announced that he will be absent from the climate summit. On Monday, when a hundred leaders will gather to discuss the common ambition to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and thus combat global warming, Trump, the only leader in the world to have withdrawn his country from the Paris agreement, will will express "on the protection of religious freedom". The White House has in fact booked a conference room in the UN building for a meeting on global religious freedom. However, climate change is at the center of UN interest. A report published by the World Meteorological Organization (OMM), on the eve of the summit, reveals that the last five years, from 2015 to 2019, will be the hottest time ever recorded. The average temperature for the 2015-2019 period should be 1.1 ° C higher than that of the period between 1850-1900. So, according to the scientists, even if all the commitments of the Paris agreement were maintained and not acquired, the Earth will be warmer by about 3 ° C at the end of the century. "The expression 'climate change' must really remind us that responsibility is ours. It is not the climate that is 'crazy', but we who have built a model of economic development that has become the executioner of our planet, of the earth that hosts us. We must change and we must do it quickly, "Di Maio wrote on facebook, on his first appearance on the UN stage. At the environmental summit organized by the UN Secretary General, Antonio Guterres, the United States will be represented by Marcia Bernicat of the State Department. The climate issues have been banned, but Trump arrives at the United Nations with the intention of reiterating the superiority of the United States. What will your message be at this 74th session of the General Assembly? "I will say: the United States is the largest country in the world, it has never been stronger and I am without doubt one of the greatest presidents in history," he told reporters aboard Air Force One. The tycoon has planned an impressive face-to-face series: Imran Khan (Pakistan), Andrzej Duda (Poland), Abdel Fattah al-Sisi (Egypt), Moon Jae-in (South Korea), Narendra Modi (India), Boris Johnson (United Kingdom), Barham Saleh (Iraq), Shinzo Abe (Japan). But he who proclaimed himself a "master of negotiation", in view of the 2020 presidential elections, struggles to achieve tangible results to use, in front of his colleagues, as proof of the effectiveness of his diplomatic progress: Iran, North Korea, Venezuela , Afghanistan. They are just an example.
