  1. “That must be done in a coherent manner, closely involving all relevant multilateral and bilateral partners, as well as civil society and the private sector. Burkina Faso supports the initiative of the Niger and Ireland proposing a draft resolution on climate change. It is through more meaningful cooperation and collaborative action that we will ultimately succeed in putting an end to terrorism, curbing the degradation of our environment and safeguarding our common good, which is the planet.”

  2. “We must act now before it is too late by providing more support to existing programmes and mechanisms, including the United Nations Support Plan for the Sahel, Agenda 2063 of the African Union and the efforts of the G-5 Sahel, as well as those of individual countries. In that context, I would like to recall, and express our support for, the Secretary-General’s initiatives contained in his report Our Common Agenda (A/75/982), which provides a good basis for collectively addressing the challenges of peace and climate change. Finally, I would like to stress the need for financial support for all initiatives to maintain international peace and security. We must work harder to mobilize sufficient, predictable and sustainable funding.”

  3. “Along the same lines, armed terrorist groups are undermining the State’s presence in the affected areas, making access to basic social services even more difficult. They exacerbate intercommunal tensions, undermine the foundations of the rule of law and democracy and force people to move away from their homes. In Burkina Faso, more than 1 million people have been forced to flee their homes owing to the threat of terrorism, which, unfortunately and dangerously, makes life more precarious for many families. Insecurity caused by terrorism and climate change constitutes a serious threat to international peace and security. In that regard, I would like to appeal to the members of the Security Council to adopt stronger measures in support of affected countries.”

  4. “Our populations are facing, on a daily basis, the adverse effects of these threats, which can be seen in unprecedented natural disasters, including increasingly prolonged droughts, heat waves, intense dust clouds, significant loss of biodiversity and so forth. On a more global level, we are witnessing an alarming increase in temperatures and the emergence of extreme weather phenomena, which threaten the survival of populations and jeopardize their already meagre means of subsistence, often turning them into climate refugees. Climate change is a source of instability. It causes and accentuates conflicts between communities with regard to access to meagre shared resources; this is as true for water management as it is for arable land.”

  5. “The achievement of international peace and security is one of the main purposes of the United Nations. The world is facing multiple challenges that threaten the achievement of our Sustainable Development Goals. Terrorism and climate change are new contemporary threats that further complicate the achievement of the common ideal of peace for humankind. In Africa, and in particular in the countries of the Group of Five for the Sahel (G-5 Sahel), including Burkina Faso, these two threats have led to an unprecedented security and humanitarian crisis, severely hampering the opportunities for growth and developments, and civilians, in particular women and children, are paying the highest price.”

  6. “Mr. Sinka (Burkina Faso) (spoke in French): Before I begin, I would like, on behalf of His Excellency Mr. Roch Marc Christian Kaboré, President of Faso, congratulate the Security Council presidency of the Niger and in particular congratulate His Excellency Mr. Mohamed Bazoum, President of the Republic of the Niger, whose presence at this debate demonstrates the importance of the issue under consideration. I would also like to congratulate all Council members on the successful organization of this debate on such an important theme, namely, the maintenance of international peace and security in the context of terrorism and climate change and thank them for allowing us to participate in this event. I thank all speakers for their contributions, which have given us a better understanding of the topic.”
