His Excellency Ambassador Csaba Kőrösi, President of the 77th Session of the United Nations General Assembly, has joined the Board of Patrons of the World Sustainability Forum. As President, Ambassador Kőrösi emphasized the wide-ranging challenges arising from unsustainable modes of development. These include issues such as food and energy insecurity, the climate crisis, water scarcity, the loss of biodiversity, as well as armed conflicts, increasing debt, and pressing human security demands.
“The World Sustainability Forum expresses its great pleasure in welcoming His Excellency Ambassador Kőrösi, who has graciously accepted our invitation to contribute his wealth of expertise and extensive experience in the realm of international diplomacy, multilateralism, and, more specifically, in promoting science-based strategies for policy making and sustainable development. His involvement will play a pivotal role in furthering the Forum's overarching mission,” noted Forum President Dr. Kenneth Stokes.
In response to his appointment, Ambassador Kőrösi said,“It is an honor to serve as a patron of the World Sustainability Forum.” A champion of the Forum's inter-generational Declaration for Human Responsibility, Ambassador Kőrösi noted that while“our responsibilities must always be regarded as important as our rights, we are only starting to understand what rights and responsibilities will mean in the next stage of our Anthropocene era. In a world plagued by distrust, geopolitical competition, and conflict, and with a particular interest in international finance, interlocking water crises, and the development of a comprehensive assessment of country-level and global progress toward sustainable development goals, I look forward to collaborating with the Forum and advancing its mission.”
Ambassador Kőrösi is a career diplomat who joined the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Hungary in 1983 and has spent his professional life in public service, combining national duties with assignments received from various international communities.
