Hard Truths On Climate, Education & Poverty, From the UN’s Secretary-General
UN Chief Antonio Guterres joins Ian Bremmer to unpack the world’s hard truths.
Global political division, a culture of impunity and a vacuum of consequences … Russia’s illegal invasion of Ukraine making climate change a “kind of second-order issue” (even as 50 million Pakistanis have been displaced by flooding, and more than 1,000 killed) – with “irreversible consequences” and “irreparable damage” coming “very soon” – “a world that is facing destruction everywhere” … the threat that the world may not have enough food in 2023 due to fertilizer shortages … there’s a lot of bad news in the world, as UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres discusses with Ian Bremmer on GZERO World.
Still, there are paths to solutions – as with the grain deal that Guterres helped to (discreetly) broker between Russia and Ukraine – if only the world’s leaders will work together.
