TUM Speakers Series: Ban Ki-moon

Celebrating 20 Years TUM SPEAKERS SERIES and the 75th anniversary of United Nations, former UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon will be our guest for the official side event to Munich Security Conference! "Global Solutions for Global Challenges - The Need to Defend Multilateralism in 2020" As Secretary-General of the United Nations, H.E. Ban Ki-moon has sought to be a bridge-builder, to give voice to the world’s poorest and most vulnerable people, and to strengthen the United Nations itself. He contributed substantially to the successful implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Agreement to tackle climate change. He created UN Women, a new agency that advocates for women's rights and gender equality. After leaving his post at the UN, he co-founded the Ban Ki-moon Center for Global Citizens. Additionally, H.E. Ban Ki-moon is Deputy Chair of The Elders, an independent group of global leaders, founded by Nelson Mandela, working together for peace, justice and human rights. ► Further information Press release: http://go.tum.de/001849 TUM Speakers Series website: https://speakersseries.de ► Follow TUM!
