In this interview, 8th United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon reflects on his pivotal role in shaping two of the UN’s most historic global agreements: the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Paris Climate Agreement. Speaking with urgency and conviction, he shares insights into the current threats to these legacies, particularly climate change, and emphasizes the importance of multilateral cooperation, financial and technological support from developed nations, and the leadership of middle powers like Kazakhstan in addressing global challenges. He also discusses UN reform, the role of the Security Council, and the critical need to empower youth and women. With climate change accelerating and multilateralism under pressure, Ban’s message is a powerful call for unity, vision, and global responsibility.
