我们仍然致力于支持和推进联合国的使命，同时也认识到面前许多任务的复杂性。随着冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行的出现，联合国通过世界卫生组织帮助领导了抗击这一疾病及其后果的斗争,本组织的相关性得到了重申。正如我们在9月21日通过的《纪念联合国七十五周年宣言》中指出的那样，新冠疫情导致全球经济衰退，加剧了贫困、焦虑和恐惧，给我们的社会、经济和卫生系统带来了巨大压力。新冠疫情的影响威胁到我们实现可持续发展目标的能力，而我们一致认为，可持续发展目标是帮助建立一个更加公平和公正的世界所必需的。这一大流行病的影响加剧了像巴哈马这样的小岛屿国家在遭遇与气候变化相关的危险之后面临的复杂问题。
We remain dedicated to supporting and furthering the mission of the United Nations, while also recognizing the complexities of the many tasks ahead. The relevance of the Organization was reaffirmed with the emergence of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic as the United Nations, through the World Health Organization, helped to lead the fight against the disease and its aftermath. As we noted in the Declaration on the Commemoration of the Seventy-fifth Anniversary of the United Nations, which we adopted on 21 September, COVID-19 has led to a global economic recession, increased poverty, anxiety and fear. It has put enormous pressure on our societies, economies and health systems. The impact of COVID-19 threatens our ability to meet the Sustainable Development Goals we agreed are necessary to help build a more equitable and just world. The effects of the pandemic exacerbate the complex problems small island States, like The Bahamas, face in the wake of dangers linked to climate change.
