EP 109: How To Bring Peace To A World In Crisis: Interview With U.S. Ambassador to the UN Linda Thomas-Greenfield
Description
This week, more than 130 heads of state or government, dozens of deputy prime ministers, and over 40 ministers will meet at the UN General Assembly (UNGA).
So what exactly is UNGA? And 78 years later, why is the UN still relevant?
We sat down with Ambassador Thomas-Greenfield at her residence across the street from the UN to talk about all the global challenges, including climate change, Russia’s invasion in Ukraine, the Israel-Hamas war, and the expanding humanitarian crisis in Sudan. Thomas-Greenfield also talks about how she’s looking to reform the UN.
And on a lighter note, we discuss why she’s been called the “Gumbo Diplomat.”
