正如安东尼奥·古特雷斯秘书长最近所说，“世界正在经历一场日益深重的灾难”。冠状病毒病(COVID-19)大流行席卷了发达国家经济体和发展中国家经济体，造成了前所未有的经济破坏和社会崩溃。国际货币基金组织预计，到2021年底，新冠疫情对全球经济造成的损失将达到12万亿美元。疫情对我们消除全球贫困和饥饿的努力构成严重威胁。不平等仍然是一大挑战。疫情清楚地揭示了人类大家庭在一系列新出现的挑战面前的相互依存性和脆弱性。
As the Secretary-General Antonio Guterres put it recently “the world is experiencing a deepening calamity”. The COVID-19 pandemic has engulfed both advanced and developing economies causing unprecedented economic damage and social collapse. The IMF projects its losses on the global economy would reach $12 trillion by the end of 2021. This pandemic causes a serious threat to our efforts to eradicate global poverty and hunger. Inequality still remains a major challenge. The pandemic has clearly revealed the interdependence and fragility of the human family in the face of a host of emerging challenges.
