Global Dispatches -- World News That Matters

These Stories Will Drive the Agenda During UN Week


Listen Later

The United Nations General Assembly, better known as UNGA, kicks in New York this week. Hundreds of heads of state, business and civil society leaders and dignitaries of all stripes will descend on the UN for a week of events, meetings, and of course speeches.

UNGA is the single most important and action-packed week on the diplomatic calendar -- a behemoth of diplomatic events.

On the line with me to preview the big stories that will drive the agenda at UNGA this year is Margaret Besheer, the UN correspondent for Voice of America, and Richard Gowan, the UN director of the International Crisis Group. We discuss a key youth summit on climate, the UN Climate Action Summit, how tensions between the United States and Iran may shape events at UNGA, and many other key moments, events, and ideas to watch during UNGA.

If you have 25 minutes and want to learn the storylines that will drive the agenda at UNGA this year, have a listen.
