Global Challenges and the International Community. What role for Rotary International?

Canadian Jennifer E Jones is the President of Rotary International 2022-23. She is the first woman to hold this office in the organisation’s 115-year history.

In this lecture she shares a vision for the power of civil society and its ability to fight disease, protect the environment, encourage economic development, and deepen world understanding and peace.
