Former New Zealand Prime Minister Dame Jacinda Ardern will be honoured with the United Nations Foundation’s “Champion for Global Change” award. The accolade recognises her “empathetic” leadership, purported advocacy for women’s rights, efforts against climate change, and promotion of unity and peace. The award, part of the annual We The Peoples event, has previously gone to global figures like UN deputy secretary-general Amina J. Mohammed.
