The ministerial week of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) is meant to be the moment when the world comes together. Yet today fracture and fragmentation is dominant. Bad faith drives out good ideas. Hard power makes a mockery of international law. Even those with shared goals too often operate in silos.
This dynamic is especially dangerous when the world is more connected than ever before. And it is more egregious when the world has more resources than ever before. We are witnessing a catastrophic collapse of global leadership at the exact moment humanity has all the risks of hyper-connectivity and all the potential of untold capital.
