Nancy Soderberg | A New Global Compact
The United States may be the world’s sole superpower, but that doesn’t mean it can turn its back on less developed countries. “We must recognize,” argues Ambassador Nancy Soderberg, “that solving the world’s challenges is not social work, but rather essential to our own national security and prosperity.” In this TEDxJacksonville talk, Ambassador Soderberg discusses the imperative of forming a new global compact.
