Representatives from all over the world are gathering in New York for the United Nations General Assembly meeting. 

And, while much of the discussion over the coming days will focus on global hot spots and major political issues, the UN’s sustainability goals will also be on the agenda.   

One of those goals is the pressing need to tackle the climate crisis. Others include reducing poverty and hunger. 

To discuss:

• Syed Mohammed Ali is an Adjunct Professor at Johns Hopkins University
• Changhua Wu is the CEO of the Beijing Future Innovation Center
• Carlos A. Joly is Emeritus Professor at the University of Campinas
• Mohammed Mahmoud is Senior Fellow and Director of the Climate and Water Program, Middle East Institute

As our planet continues to warm, all countries will increasingly suffer losses and damage from climate beyond their capacity to adapt.
