  1. “Belarus is a candidate for a non-permanent seat on the Security Council for 2024-2025 and is prepared to cooperate with all States on these matters in all forums in the search for mutually acceptable solutions to issues challenging international peace and security.”

  2. “Focusing the Council’s work on climate change would also violate the principle of division of responsibilities and tasks among the organs, bodies and agencies of the United Nations system, and could therefore lead to the duplication of functions. In that regard, we call for utilizing the full potential of existing mechanisms under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and engaging in more active work in the General Assembly, the Economic and Social Council, the High-level Political Forum on Sustainable Development and other specialized forums to address climate change specifically.”

  3. “To that end, we must work together to facilitate access to technology, education and financing, among other things. We are concerned that focusing on climate change in the work of the Security Council could mean neglecting hundreds of other factors affecting international security and instability. Access to vaccines, poverty, unilateral coercive measures against individual States, women’s rights, the protection of children and other topics may have an equal or even greater impact on peace and security in certain situations. In that context, we believe that the primary responsibility of the Security Council should remain to address and eradicate the root causes of conflict.”

  4. “This topic is multidimensional and varies according to the unique climate and environmental conditions in each country, taking the form of desertification in one place, floods and tsunamis in another, earthquakes in a third, the disappearance of mangroves in a fourth, and so on. That is why a generic approach is impossible. Instead, this requires an individual approach and assistance based on the requests of each State. In that connection, we underscore the importance of taking action only with the consent of the national Governments of the recipient States. Belarus also believes that all countries, especially developing and least developed countries, need to strengthen their national capacities to overcome the problems each of them face.”

  5. “Mr. Pilipenko (Belarus) (spoke in Russian): Belarus shares the serious concern of the international community regarding the topic of today’s open debate, namely, combating terrorism and overcoming climate change. Belarus is an active participant in combating these issues, both as part of its national efforts and in the international arena. It is indisputable that both are international and transboundary issues. In that context, Belarus urges further international cooperation and collaboration to effectively and efficiently combat terrorism and climate change. By the same token, we view climate change and natural disasters as just one of the many issues and factors that have a direct and indirect impact on international security.”
