A common thread runs through them all: failure of leadership. “As a former President of a country landlocked between two large powers, I know how important international diplomacy is when it comes to tackling existential threats. In 2023 it is vital for all our sakes that they act.”Įlbegdorj Tsakhia, former President of Mongolia and member of The Elders, added: ![]() Leaders did not heed the Doomsday Clock’s warnings in 2020. Today they are even closer to midnight, showing how much more perilous our world has become in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, extreme weather events and Russia’s outrageous war on Ukraine. “Three years ago, I helped unveil the Doomsday Clock when its hands were last moved. Leaders need a crisis mindset.”īan Ki-moon, Deputy Chair of The Elders and former UN Secretary-General, said: We are facing multiple, existential crises. This must change in 2023 if we are to avert catastrophe. The science is clear, but the political will is lacking. From cutting carbon emissions to strengthening arms control treaties and investing in pandemic preparedness, we know what needs to be done. But our leaders are not acting at sufficient speed or scale to secure a peaceful and liveable planet. “The Doomsday Clock is sounding an alarm for the whole of humanity. Mary Robinson, Chair of The Elders and former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, said: The Elders underscored that the world faces interlocking crises, each illustrating the unwillingness of leaders to act in the long-term interests of their people, and that dialogue in good faith and multilateral cooperation are indispensable to finding sustainable solutions that meet the needs of all the peoples of the world. Their failure to take collective action has hampered effective responses to the climate crisis and COVID-19, as well as conflict prevention and resolution efforts from Syria and Yemen to Myanmar and the Sahel. Russia’s illegal war on Ukraine and President Putin’s reckless nuclear rhetoric have worsened tensions and made nuclear conflict a more real threat than at any time since the height of the Cold War, The Elders warned.īut while Russia alone bears responsibility for its war on Ukraine, for which its leaders must ultimately face justice under international law, all states bear responsibility for the broader failures of governance and leadership that have undermined the multilateral system. The warning came as former Presidents Mary Robinson and Elbegdorj Tsakhia joined members of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists for the unveiling of the Doomsday Clock, which today moved to 90 seconds to midnight – the closest it has been to catastrophe since its creation in 1947. ![]()
