UN chief Antonio Guterres has delivered a grave warning to leaders from across the world, expressing deep concern about the mounting global challenges and escalating geopolitical tensions. “Our world is becoming unhinged. Geopolitical tensions are rising. Global challenges are mounting. And we seem incapable of coming together to respond.”

How can world leaders effectively address and navigate these challenges? Are we witnessing a rising under-current in the world's political landscape, fundamentally reshaping global dynamics?
