This September the Guardian and Unicef will be hosting our annual leadership event in New York alongside the UN’s general assembly. We’ll be looking at how successfully the global community is maintaining the momentum for change following the adoption of the sustainable development goals (SDGs) in 2015.
Last year’s event, led by Amina Mohammed and David Miliband, marked the kick-off of these ambitious goals. This year our speakers will include William Easterly and Irina Bokova. We look forward to welcoming you.
