National governments at the General Debate of the 81st session of the UN General Assembly (UNGA) spoke 1.89 sentences about the economy for every sentence about the environment, according to a count of all 191 national statements delivered in New York from 22 to 28 September 2026. The ratio was 1.18 in 2023 and 1.56 in 2025, and is the highest since 2013. Of the 191 speakers, 112 were heads of state or government; the rest were vice presidents, ministers, ambassadors and other senior officials.

Governments have not stopped mentioning the environment. After every reference was read by hand, 161 of the 191 national speakers mentioned it at least once, and 190 mentioned the economy. They gave it less room. National speakers used 3.06 environment sentences per 1,000 words, against 4.94 in 2023. Two thirds gave the environment a passage of three sentences or more, against 93% for the economy; in 2021, 87% did.

The numbers describe an attention problem more than an awareness problem. Five in six governments mentioned the environment; what changed is the space they gave it. Environmental issues have gone from a growing part of the General Debate to a subject most governments acknowledge and fewer dwell on. Biodiversity sits further down that hierarchy: almost four years after governments agreed a global framework to halt its loss, fewer than one in five speakers used the word.

Environment v economy in UN General Debate speeches, 1946 to 2026

The General Debate is the one week a year when every government sets out, in its own words, what it thinks matters. The same counting rules, applied to every speech since 1946, show environmental language rising after the Rio Earth Summit, jumping in 2007 and peaking in 2019. It has fallen in each of the last three years.

Economy and environment sentences per 1,000 words spoken, UN General Debate, 1946 to 2026

That history matters. Environmental language did not rise steadily as environmental pressures worsened. It rose when those pressures became political priorities: Rio put sustainable development onto the diplomatic agenda, climate language surged as negotiations intensified, and the Paris Agreement helped cement climate in mainstream international politics. The recent decline does not show that environmental risks have diminished. It shows them commanding less of a finite supply of political attention.

The competition for that attention is formidable. War and security took 8.3 sentences per 1,000 words this year, more than the economy, at 5.78, or the environment. Governments spoke amid wars, debt distress, geopolitical rivalry and rapid technological change, and nature has to compete with all of them.

COP17 and biodiversity at the General Debate

The seventeenth Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD COP17) opens in Yerevan on 19 October and runs to 30 October. It is the first meeting at which governments are due to consider the global review of collective progress under the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, the targets they agreed in 2022. Three weeks earlier, at the General Debate, Armenia, the host, was the only government to mention the meeting.

This October, Armenia will host the 17th Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity, and I invite you all to participate in this very important event for Armenia and for the international biodiversity agenda.

The silence is notable because COP17 is not a negotiation to create a biodiversity agreement. Governments made that agreement in Montreal in 2022. Yerevan is where they begin examining, collectively, whether they are delivering it. Three weeks before that review, the process was almost invisible on the world's principal political stage.

Thirty-six national speakers mentioned biodiversity, 19%. In 2023 the share was 35%, so it has fallen by 47% in three years.

Share of General Debate speeches that mention biodiversity, 1985 to 2026, per cent

That does not show that governments have abandoned the framework; environment ministries, negotiators and finance officials work on it away from the General Debate. It does suggest that biodiversity has struggled to hold the attention of presidents and prime ministers since the diplomatic high point of 2022.

Three speakers mentioned deforestation: Brazil, Suriname and Gabon. None named the EU Deforestation Regulation, which applies to large and medium companies from 30 December 2026 (see our explainer, What the EU Deforestation Regulation does from 30 December 2026).

Every year, we seem to lose more biodiversity yet gain more armaments.

Which countries spoke most about the environment at UNGA 2026

The speeches that gave the environment most room came mainly from countries highly exposed to environmental change. Tonga, Micronesia, Tuvalu, Nepal, the Marshall Islands and Kiribati each spent more than twelve sentences in every thousand words on it. The 19 member countries of the G20 used 1.71 environment sentences per 1,000 words, 47% less than the other 172 national speakers, at 3.23.

The divide is revealing. The governments giving the environment most room are often those for which climate and ecosystem change are immediate questions of territory, food, water or fiscal survival. The largest economies, taken together, gave it much less space. On this measure, political attention runs in the opposite direction to economic weight.

Every national speaker: environment sentences against economy sentences, per 1,000 words

Find a country

Kenya's President, William Ruto, spoke for about 3,000 words on debt, credit ratings and the cost of capital, and did not mention climate, nature or the environment. His official text confirms it. Twenty-nine other national speakers made no environmental reference either, among them Ukraine, Russia, Iran, Israel and Mexico.

Where the environment and the economy meet

In a small group of speeches the two categories merged. Dominica's President, Sylvanie Burton, set out the development model her country wants the international financial system to recognise.

A model in which resilience is an investment. Nature is an asset. Connectivity is productive infrastructure. Clean energy is economic opportunity. And prevention is financially smarter than reconstruction.

Seychelles said that "protecting our marine environment is an economic necessity". Botswana's President, Duma Boko, spoke of "the sustainable management of our natural capital". Samoa's Deputy Prime Minister, Mulipola Anarosa Ale Molioo, said that "pursuing economic growth has come at a grave cost to our marine ecosystems". Suriname, which describes itself as the world's most forested country, said that "conservation costs cannot be borne only by the countries protecting ecosystems whose benefits are shared globally". France's President, Emmanuel Macron, was the only head of state to mention biodiversity credits.

The loss of biodiversity weakens the forests, reefs and mangroves on which our economies depend.

These speeches reject the premise of an environment-versus-economy count. In them, nature is productive infrastructure: forests store carbon and regulate water, reefs and mangroves protect coastlines, ecosystems support tourism and fisheries, and resilience avoids the cost of reconstruction. The economic question they pose is who recognises that value and who pays to maintain it.

Where the environment and the economy met in other speeches, the subject was usually who pays. Jamaica's Foreign Minister, Kamina Johnson Smith, said that Hurricane Melissa "inflicted damage and losses estimated at 56.7 per cent of our GDP" in a matter of hours. The Solomon Islands' Prime Minister, Matthew Wale, said that "in less than 18 days, the world spends more on arms than developed countries provide in a full year of climate finance". Tonga's Prime Minister, Lord Fakafanua, said that "explicit fossil fuel subsidies, estimated by the International Monetary Fund at US$725 billion, must be phased out". The same imbalance runs through the world's finance, where for every dollar spent protecting nature more than thirty are spent harming it (Thirty to one).

That language remains the exception. If it were embedded in economic policymaking, the two lines in our chart would be hard to tell apart. In most of the 191 speeches, they stayed separate.

El Niño at the UN General Assembly

Ten national speakers named El Niño, 5.2%, the highest share in the eighty-year record; the previous high was 3.9% in 1998. The World Meteorological Organization expects the strengthening event to peak late in 2026, as southern Africa moves into its hottest season, and says the combination raises the risks of drought and wildfire. Of the sixteen members of the Southern African Development Community, all of which spoke, three named it: Mozambique, Eswatini and Malawi.

We are particularly concerned about the forecast of an El Niño event, with potentially severe impacts in the central and southern parts of the country, especially in terms of drought, food insecurity, and livelihoods.

King Mswati III of Eswatini said his region was "currently confronted by what has been predicted as one of the most severe El Niño weather patterns on record". South Africa's Minister for International Relations and Cooperation, Ronald Lamola, cited floods, cyclones and wildfires across the region and said that "our responses are severely constrained by a climate finance architecture stacked against developing nations". On the final day, Malawi's Foreign Minister, George Chaponda, said his country faced "the added threat of El Niño-related extreme weather, which risks further undermining livelihoods, food security and economic stability".

The Pacific does not ask the world to prevent El Niño; we ask the world to help us prepare for it, withstand its impacts and recover with dignity.

El Niño shows the limits of political-attention data most clearly. Whether a government names it in New York has no bearing on whether its farms, reservoirs, power systems or public finances will be exposed to it.

A counter-current on climate

Three speakers questioned environmental policy. In his address on 22 September, the President of the United States, Donald Trump, said the people who had warned about global warming renamed it "climate change because the planet was cooling, not warming", and listed climate change beside what he called "the Russia, Russia, Russia hoax" and "the Ukraine, Ukraine, Ukraine hoax". He also said his administration had intervened to stop the International Maritime Organization "establishing a first ever global carbon tax" on shipping. Where his speech turned to resources, it turned to oil: he described a deal with Venezuela "covering 65 billion barrels of oil" that would "help drive down the cost of energy all over the world". The World Meteorological Organization reports that the eleven years from 2015 to 2025 were the eleven warmest on record in all eight datasets it uses. Argentina's President, Javier Milei, listed "el extremismo ambiental" (environmental extremism) among what he described as the UN's impositions on liberal democracies. Poland's President, Karol Nawrocki, said that caring for the natural environment "must not lead to the weakening of our economies".

We cannot leave the protection of our environment to fanatics.

Two days after the US address, Ghana's President, John Mahama, said: "For those who have declared climate change a hoax perpetrated by geopolitical opponents, the warnings of recent times cannot have been clearer." Iceland's Foreign Minister, Thorgerdur Katrín Gunnarsdóttir, said: "Climate change is not an ideology."

What this means for companies and investors

Environmental exposure does not change with political attention. A strong El Niño is developing, biodiversity loss continues, and from 19 October governments begin reviewing progress against the global biodiversity framework at COP17. None of these becomes less consequential because presidents spend more of their UN speeches on debt, war or trade. The divergence itself matters: governments are giving environmental issues less political attention at the same time as companies, investors and public finances become more exposed to their consequences.

The speeches from Dominica, Seychelles, Botswana, Suriname and Belize point to another possibility. If forests, reefs, water systems and resilience enter political language as assets, infrastructure, costs and investment, the environment may stop competing with the economy for sentences. For now, it is losing that competition.

How the speeches were counted

Every sentence of every transcript was tagged with keyword rules for the environment (climate, nature and biodiversity, forests, oceans, water, land, pollution, extreme weather and the word environment) and the economy (growth, trade and investment, debt and finance, jobs, prices). A sentence can count in both, for example a sentence about climate finance or natural capital, so the two measures record attention to each topic and are not shares of one total. The same rules and the same sentence splitting were run over the UN General Debate Corpus, 11,141 speeches from 1946 to 2025, which is what makes the comparison across years, including "the widest gap since 2013", like for like. A speech with three or more environment sentences counts as a sustained passage. All of the roughly 1,300 environment sentences found in 2026 were read, and false matches such as "a business-friendly environment" were removed from the speaker figures. For the 87 countries that spoke by 26 September and have a UN transcript in both 2025 and 2026, the environment rate fell from 3.60 to 3.38 sentences per 1,000 words, the same direction as the full count.

The 2026 counts use the UN's AI transcripts, which for speeches not given in English are transcripts of the interpretation; the 2025 corpus texts are of the same kind. Quotes are taken from the official statements published by the UN, and translations from Spanish are ours. The United States published no official text, so its quotes come from the UN transcript, checked against a broadcast recording of the address. Our method sets out how we handle sources.
