Global Solutions for Global Challenges – The Need to Defend Multilateralism in 2020

Global solidarity has never been more important than today. Together with the Technical University of Munich, GPI hosted an official side event of the TUM Speakers Series at the Munich Security Conference.

H.E. Ban Ki-moon made a passionate plea for democracy, diplomacy and global cooperation to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the TUM Speakers Series and the 75th anniversary of the United Nations.

During his two terms as UN Secretary-General, H.E. Ban Ki-moon has been a bridge-builder between conflicting parties, a voice for the world’s poorest and most vulnerable, and an advocate for strengthening the United Nations itself. With his mediation, the Sustainable Development Goals were agreed upon in 2015. He also played a major role in the creation of the Paris Climate Change Convention.
At the TUM Speakers Series H.E. Ban Ki-moon spoke about the greatest global challenges of our time and their solutions.
