Is a Green UN the Answer to Its Current Blues
Today, I have the rare honor of giving the annual John W. Holmes Memorial Lecture for a second time, the first time being in 2007.1 That gives me the distinct opportunity to reflect on what I said the first time, and whether it has held up or not. In the 2007 lecture, I speculated that it would take a big global shock or disruption to create the conditions for a real "San Francisco moment," as it is often called-a major UN reset as momentous as t…

Kofi Annan was no exception. As a career UN manager, he profoundly believed in the need for reform. He introduced three maj…
