This year, the United Nations is marking its 75th anniversary. The challenges our world is facing are numerous: climate change, global pandemic, poverty, migration... the list goes on. As different as they may seem, these challenges have one thing in common: they are global. As climate change has taught us, emissions don’t stop at borders. As the COVID-19 crisis has shown us, production chains are so entangled that a lockdown in one country will reverberate across the world. So during these unprecedented times, it is more important than ever to work together to build a better world. So, how do we build bridges? How can we improve cooperation? How can we make sure that we achieve the Sustainable Development Goals? How do we make sure the world recovers equitably? How can we make the most of multilateralism?
