The Future of Multilateralism: UN80 and Beyond
About This Event
Multilateralism is facing serious challenges. Great power competition, declining trust in international institutions, and rising nationalism are testing systems that have facilitated global cooperation for decades. As the United Nations marks its 80th anniversary, critical questions emerge: Can international institutions adapt to address 21st century challenges like climate change, pandemics, migration, and technological disruption? Where is multilateralism working, and where is it breaking down? Join us for a conversation with Ian Hurd and Juliet Sorensen, moderated by Paul Poast, as they examine lessons from eight decades of multilateralism and explore pathways for stronger international cooperation.
