Fabrizio Hochschild on global inequalities, pandemic, mental health, polarization and 75 years of the United Nations.

"I think empathy will be a key skill and a growing skill in a world of greater polarization.”

The Under-Secretary-General and Special Adviser to the Secretary-General, Hochschild is coordinating the preparation for the commemoration of the 75th anniversary of the United Nations in 2020 and related celebrations, through a system-wide process of consultations and reflections on the role of the United Nations in advancing international co-operation and in supporting Member States’ ability to respond to emerging challenges and frontier issues.
