Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says that at a time when the world faces increasing instability, leaders have a choice: bury their heads in the sand or put their differences aside for the sake of future generations.

Guterres urged member nations last week to compromise and approve the "Pact of the Future," a blueprint to address a wide range of global challenges. But there's been pushback from Russia, Saudi Arabia and other countries who object to some of the language on issues including climate change and reforming international financial institutions.
Canada has been active at the United Nations since it was formed in 1945 and helped draft the UN Charter. While at the assembly, Trudeau will also co-host an event with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen about climate change, carbon pricing and industrial decarbonization. "We cannot support a resolution where one party, the State of Israel, is held solely responsible for the conflict," said Bob Rae, Canada's ambassador to the UN.
