    A city with a global vision: New York, the United Nations, and the post-war dream of peace

    The post Second World war dream of global peace which brought countries from around the world together at the United Nations continues to resonate as the UN marks 80 years of its existence in New York City. It was never set in stone that the organization would find its permanent home in New York as it was competing with other locations in the United States to host the world body. The UN eventually opened in Manhattan in the early 1950s but a number of locations in and around New York were retrofitted to provide temporary facilities. UN News' Daniel Dickinson tells the story of the UN in New York.

    PODCAST: Turning climate stories into climate action

    Storytelling has the power to inspire action, and when celebrities and influencers use their platforms for climate advocacy, the impact can reach audiences across the globe.

Joining him in the the SDG Media Zone was UNDP India Youth Climate Champion Prajakta Koli. Moderator Alyssa Hardy, Style Director at Teen Vogue, asked Mr. Coster-Waldau why, despite the severity of the climate crisis, there is still reason to be hopeful.

    PODCAST: Space exploration is ‘not a luxury’ but essential for life on Earth

    Space exploration and the use of space technology is becoming an increasingly critical part of the global economy, but how can the world ensure its benefits are felt, not just in the developed world but also in poorer and less technologically advanced developing countries? The UN Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA) was established for that exact reason and more particularly to accelerate sustainable development globally. It has just announced its UN Champion for Space, the internationally acclaimed broadcaster and physicist Professor Brian Cox who’s been speaking to UN News’ Lid is On podcast.
