Global Reboot Live Taping

Join us for a live taping of Global Reboot

Foreign Policy, in collaboration with the Doha Forum, invites you to a live taping of Global Reboot, a podcast hosted by Editor in Chief Ravi Agrawal. This episode, recorded before a live audience during the United Nations General Assembly in New York, will feature a conversation with Kelly T. Clements, the United Nations Deputy High Commissioner for Refugees.

The world is facing increasing numbers of displaced individuals, driven by conflicts, hunger, and the looming impacts of climate change. As the refugee population grows, so do the complexities of managing the problem. How can the world reboot its approach to the refugee crisis? We’ll explore the issue, focusing on potential solutions and the kinds of global collaboration required.

Join us for this live taping, which will be followed by a networking reception.
