One of the perks of being in Geneva is of course, the UN European Headquarters are here, and so there's many VIPs coming in and out. I was privleged to attend one of the round table talks held at the Graduate Institute where I also take classes. The event features speakers like Kofi Annan, Gro Brundland (THE person who made the Brudtland report which you would instatnly recognize if you're studying sustainability) and the Commissioner of the UNHCR with the theme of Syrian Migration. Not only was I blown away by the passionate message of all the speakers but that there is a great lacking of global cooperation on this issue. I don't want to go into any details as there have already been too many debates on this already, but just that states really need to go deeper and do more than what is done now in order to really change the situation.
