The world is experiencing unprecedented economic, social and political turbulence. In addition to the existential threat from climate change; global inequality is expanding and many nations are suffering from deep division and toxic polarisation. The United Nations and other multilateral institutions are struggling and peace remains elusive in the Ukraine, the Middle East, the Taiwan Straits and in many countries on the Africa continent. New Zealand is not immune from these challenges. Leading figures Helen Clark and Kevin Clements offer their perspectives on ways in which we can help generate a more just, peaceful and sustainable world.
The event is hosted by Ingrid Leary, Member of the New Zealand Parliament
