UN Assistant Secretary-General Nikhil Seth, Executive Director of UNITAR, joined Francesco Pisano for a conversation about knowledge and learning for multilateralism in this 60th anniversary year of UNITAR. UNITAR was created by the United Nations General Assembly in 1963 and started operating in March 1965.The Institute originally had its headquarters in New York and a European Office in Geneva. In 1993, UNITAR’s headquarters were moved to Geneva.

Over the past decades the Institute has acquired unique expertise, accumulating experience, knowledge and capacities to design and implement a variety of training activities. 

Nikhil and Francesco discuss the work of UNITAR, the role of knowledge in multilateralism, and look at where we are going post 2030 and what we need to meet the challenges ahead.
