Join the NYU Center for Global Affairs and the UN Office for South-South Cooperation for a special event during the 2025 UN General Assembly!

As the world converges in New York for the 2025 UN General Assembly, the NYU Center for Global Affairs and the UN Office for South-South Cooperation (UNOSSC) invite the NYU community to a university-wide event exploring how the Global South is reshaping international cooperation.

The event will spotlight the newly released Global Report on South-South and Triangular Cooperation 2025: Bridging Horizons and Continents – Forging Transformative Pathways in South-South and Triangular Cooperation. Released at a moment of historic anniversaries and profound global transitions, the report calls for rethinking how countries of the Global South collaborate to address climate change, digital transformation, shifting geopolitics, and youth-led innovation.

More than a report launch, this program is designed as an interactive dialogue. The presentation of key findings will be followed by a dynamic Q&A, inviting students and faculty from across NYU to engage with the themes of climate, youth, technology, and entrepreneurship, and to consider how the lessons of South-South cooperation might shape emerging futures worldwide.
