The 80th UN General Assembly General Debate closed this week with a powerful message: global cooperation is non-negotiable. Over 120 world leaders and representatives from 189 countries gathered in New York, tackling everything from climate change 🌱 to peacebuilding 🕊️. 'This house is fulfilling its purpose,' declared General Assembly President Annalena Baerbock, highlighting the UN's enduring relevance.
🔥 Hot topics? Wars, climate crises, and sustainable development gaps dominated discussions. With the UN celebrating its 80th anniversary, leaders reflected on past milestones while brainstorming solutions for today's 'crossroads' moment. Baerbock urged nations to stay 'unafraid, unbroken, united'—a rallying cry for Gen Z activists and policymakers alike.
Beyond speeches, high-level meetings addressed urgent issues like the Israel-Palestine conflict and global security. The takeaway? Multilateralism isn’t dead—it’s just getting a Gen-Z makeover. 💪
