Jacinda Ardern Instagram – In the early hours of this morning I had the privilege of speaking on behalf of New Zealand at the United Nations. With so many challenges in front of us, it was a chance to speak firmly against the war in Ukraine and the existence of nuclear weapons. It was also a chance to reiterate the importance of climate action, and the work we’ve being doing on terrorist and violent extremist content online. It’s a dark time, but I’m an optimist. I absolutely believe with diplomacy, dialogue, and action we can make progress on the great challenges of our time.
