72 UNGA: Address of Cuba at the ECOSOC Meeting on “Aftermath of recent hurricanes and earthquakes: Achieving a risk-informed and resilient 2030 Agenda”. New York, October 24, 2017.
Madam President,
We welcome the convening of this meeting and reiterate Cuba's sincere condolences on the recent natural disasters that have hardly hit several regions of the planet.
The increasingly devastating and frequent impact of natural disasters confirms that climate change is a threat to the survival of humankind and the sustainable development of peoples.
