Translation statements brazilian president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva:

1. "Your constant mobilization will be essential to drive the work of the global alliance against hunger and poverty, and to advance the taxation of the super-rich, ensuring the achievement of goals like tripling renewable energy usage and progressing toward emissions neutrality."

2. "We need to plan so we can start transforming the things we've negotiated into policies. I said we’d only end hunger when we made it a political issue and as long as it remains merely a social issue, it won’t be treated with respect. We need to take responsibility and that’s what i’ll try to do by delivering this document to the countries that gather here."
