The United Nations and a World in Transition

Tune in here for a live video broadcast during the talk, listen on KZSU, or follow highlights on Twitter @Stanford.

United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon  will speak about the UN's role in creating opportunities out of the challenges posed by today's rapidly transitioning world.

Ban's initiatives as UN secretary-general have focused on promoting sustainable development; empowering women; supporting countries in crisis or instability; generating new momentum on disarmament, arms control, and nonproliferation; and strengthening the UN. 

Ban's talk begins a series of activities commemorating Shorenstein APARC's thirtieth anniversary.  Founded in 2005, Shorenstein APARC's Asia-Pacific Leaders Forum regularly convenes senior leaders from across Asia and the Pacific to exchange ideas on current political, economic, and social dynamics in the region.
