- Samhälle och kultur
A conversation with Tatjana von Steiger about how she become a diplomat and mediator.
Together we explore Tatjana’s early life, including how her unlikely studies in Russian Literature shaped the way she approaches her work. We listen to some of the challenges Tatjana encountered as a rather shy woman learning to play the diplomacy game. We talk about her experience navigating the high-stakes negotiations of the SDGs as one of the representatives of Switzerland. And, despite the sobering reality that only 15% of the UN-defined goals are on track, we listen to what gives Tatjana hope.
Guest Bio: Tatjana von Steiger is the Head of Global Policy Outreach at Wyss Academy for Nature. Throughout her twenty year career in diplomacy, she has served for the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation, representing Switzerland in the executive boards of the main UN development agencies and the World Bank, where she developed partnerships and solutions to global challenges ranging from climate change, water, and food security to health and migration.
