This week Global Insider is on the ground at the U.N. General Assembly
(UNGA) in New York. After decades of progress in reducing poverty and
improving health outcomes, the world has started falling far behind in
meeting the 17 U.N. sustainable development goals (SDGs) agreed to by
all governments in 2015. And this year, Russia is the drama that colors
everything that happens in the debates, donor conferences, and planning
for how the U.N. meets its global goals. POLITICO's Ryan Health asked
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez about the impact Russia's invasion
of Ukraine has had on the E.U.—beyond driving up energy prices—and how
the U.N. can get back on track to meet its goals.
