What You Need to Know About UNGA 78

Nudhara Yusuf unpacks what makes UNGA 78 so important

By  Nudhara Yusuf  •  Adrienne Cuffley Production

While the leaders not attending the meetings (Presidents Macron, Putin, and Xi, as well as Prime Ministers Modi and Sunak) and those who are (Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Iran President Ebrahim Raisi, Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu) have led the headlines in recent days, our experts unpack what you need to know going into a week of announcements and assessments on the global stage.

“With a world that is strained and stretched to its very limits geopolitically and otherwise, moments of consensus-building become increasingly important.”

UNGA 78 marks the halfway point – 7.5 years – toward the 15-year plan set for the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals. In a new video, Nudhara Yusuf examines how far off-track the world is on its Sustainable Development Goal targets – and how we can get back on course.
