In this and the following episode, we take a deep dive with Adam Day, Head of the Geneva Office of the United Nations University Centre for Policy Research, into the Six Transformative Shifts proposed by the High-Level Advisory Board (HLAB) on Effective Multilateralism for a more secure and sustainable future.
Here, in part 1, Adam Day talks with Francesco Pisano, Director of the Library & Archives, about the first three shifts: rebuilding trust in multilateralism; planet and people; and global finance. They talk about re-thinking what consensus means, making multilateralism inclusive and the rights of future generations. Adam also focuses on the vital need to elevate environmental issues, he discusses peace as a public good, and looks at the viable yet ambitious track on finance.
