Summary
There's a leadership vacuum in the world, and Ian Bremmer, creator of the term "GZERO" has been telling us for years. The US used to play a more pivotal role in world ambition, and in particular, world ambition for achieving the targets of The Paris Agreement. But what do we do when the US has stepped down from that role they played, and what new phase of globalism is now a reality? We ask Ian to tell us his analysis.
Ian Bremmer is president and founder of the political risk consulting firm Eurasia Group and GZERO Media. He is also the host of the podcast “GZERO World with Ian Bremmer.”
After the conversation, the three hosts discuss the format of the Paris Agreement in a GZERO world, and Christiana reminds us that the most vulnerable are being caught at every turn by every crisis facing us today.
