We met Mogens Lykketoft, former president of the United Nations General Assembly, former Danish Secretary of State and active in politics for the last 60 years, for a conversation on cohesion, systemic changes, compromises, and the courage to fail along the way.

We know how to save the world, and we know it is urgent. The calling for Big Change is so loud that we can’t pretend not to hear it. The only question is: Are we ready to form the needed partnerships for actions? Will we be answering in time?
