Today's only news is all about the UN General Assembly in New York City, which is addressing many important issues this year, such as the war in Ukraine, political issues in West Africa, and climate change. This year's 78th annual main assembly will last 6 days, as usual, but end one day later (September 26) due to an absence of a meeting on the Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur, which takes place on Monday. Now, let's dive into what topics they will be addressing. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has urged countries to help stop the war between Ukraine and Russia, but allowing Ukraine into NATO at this moment would spark a potential World War III. Also, recent coups and uprisings in countries like Sudan and Niger have caused a lot of conflict, which will also be an important topic to address in this meeting. Meanwhile, there has been a lot of focus on climate change, and meeting the UN Sustainability Goals by 2030 (as well as other goals) is their main topic. The sustainability goals consist of 17 goals to make the world a better place- read more about them here. Numerous developing countries are urging wealthier countries to contribute more to helping stop climate change and phase out fossil fuels faster- we are stopping their use at a very slow pace right now. More discussion is set to go on through Monday, which could give way to some big decisions.
