This year’s United Nations General Assembly will take place against a harrowing backdrop: Protracted conflict, a hunger crisis, climate disruption, democratic backsliding, and a world still reeling from a two-year pandemic that revealed and exacerbated massive health disparities.
As world leaders convene for the 77th time in New York, we’ll be having candid conversations with global development figures and asking the tough questions that need to be raised at this critical juncture. What keeps them up at night? How do they cope with this growing number of challenges? What does it take to be an effective leader in today’s world? What are the key conversations they’re watching at this year’s UNGA? And do we have any hope of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030?
