What kind of future do we all want? And how will we get it? It’s a big question, and the UN is convening a major event this year to try to find some answers.

On today’s show, Conor Lennon is joined by Mayra Lopes from the UN News Portuguese Unit, and Benno Schwinghammer, UN Correspondent for Deutsche Presse-Agentur, to discuss the UN’s role in building a fairer future for people and the planet, and the progress that is being made towards achieving the Global Goals for sustainable development, as we near the 2030 deadline.

With special guest Michele Griffin, Policy Director, Summit of The Future.
