Conversation with David Donoghue

David Donoghue is a former Irish ambassador and permanent representative to the United Nations. He was part of the team that brokered peace in Northern Ireland through the Good Friday Agreement in 1998. In 2015, he co-chaired the negotiations that led to the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the 2030 Agenda. Today, he is actively involved in think tanks focused on development, migration and conflict resolution. He also teaches the CEMS Global Citizenship Seminar at LSE and University College Dublin.
In this first episode of Looking Ahead: Conversations with CEMS Critical Thinkers, Donoghue reflects on ambition, compromise and the often-intractable work of building consensus among multiple stakeholders.
