It’s like the Superbowl for diplomats. Hundreds of world leaders, top diplomats, and business executives are convening for the United Nations’ annual General Assembly in September, partly in person and partly virtually amid pandemic concerns. Join FP reporters Colum Lynch and Robbie Gramer as they provide a sneak peek on the biggest diplomatic event of the year. From Biden’s agenda to U.N. campaigns on climate change and refugees, they’ll open up their reporter’s notebooks to take you inside the planning and priorities for the 76th annual U.N. General Assembly.
