Are United Nations united? David Jensen at TEDxGeneva

While the United Nations may be divided on certain issues, the need to prevent conflicts over natural resources such as water, land, oil or minerals is uniting experts inside and outside the UN system. With climate change now acting as a threat multiplier, over 300 experts are collaborating in the largest effort ever undertaken to understand how to unlock the peacebuilding potential of natural resources, without triggering new forms of conflict, unleashing the resource curse, or causing environmental damage. The challenge now lies in applying these lessons in conflict-affected countries such as Afghanistan.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
