It's a milestone moment: the United Nations is turning 80! As global challenges evolve, this landmark anniversary invites us to rethink how multilateralism can drive peace, sustainability and inclusion in a rapidly changing world 🌍✨
In a special episode of CGTN's BizTalk, Zheng Junfeng sits down with three leading voices to explore the UN's next chapter:
- Erik Solheim, chairman of the Europe-Asia Center, on building resilient partnerships
- Zhu Xian from the International Finance Forum, on financing sustainable development
- Emmanuel Daniel, founder of The Asian Banker and author of The Great Transition, on bridging the Global South and global governance
Together, they dive into key themes:
- Reimagining global cooperation to tackle climate change and inequality ❄️💡
- Empowering voices from the Global South for fairer decision-making 🌐🤝
- Leveraging finance and innovation to reach the UN's Sustainable Development Goals by 2030 📊🚀
Solheim points out that inclusive partnerships respecting diverse perspectives are key to progress. Zhu Xian highlights creative funding models unlocking new resources for emerging economies. Daniel underscores the power of technology and data for transparent, effective governance.
At 80, the UN stands at a crossroads: adapt and innovate or risk falling behind. The conversation on BizTalk makes one thing clear: reshaping multilateralism is a shared journey for governments, businesses and communities around the world.
Stay tuned for more fresh takes on global unity and action 🌐✨
