2022: Year Ahead at the UN

We hope that you all had a very restful end-of-year and celebrations went smooth, without much travel disruption. As the year gears-up we picked a few upcoming online events, run by the UN and its specialised agencies, taking place this month and in February, so you can get up to speed on UNESCO’s Ocean Decade. Also check ITU’s series on AI in Robotics and Health.

A heads-up to the now canceled UNIDO conference that was to take place in Qatar later this month, on Least Developed Countries and Climate Change. As you probably know, some of these LDC countries are small islands that will be bearing the brunt of melting ice caps, and landlocked countries that are seeing draughts decimate their crops and forcing population displacement to nearby countries.

What will we be focusing on at The UN Brief in 2022?

Expect more coverage on diplomatic history, how nations can deploy their soft power arsenals, oceans and climate change, as well as AI governance and its myriad opportunities for doing good as well as its attendant risks and ethical quagmires.
