Two days after the UN General Assembly in New York City, Financial Times columnist Enuma Okoro and Kristina Lunz, co-founder of the Centre for Feminist Foreign Policy, joined 1014 in conversation about chances to improve global climate policy and creating a more caring international order. They discussed feminist foreign policy and the accelerating climate crisis with each other and the audience.

Kristina Lunz also gave insights into her latest book “The Future of Foreign Policy is Feminist”, which will be published in English later this year. While the book is not yet available in the United States, fives copies were raffled to the audience during the event.

Kristina Lunz and her "Centre for Feminist Foreign Policy" are trying to change that. The political scientist, activist and entrepreneur thinks peace, human rights and justice together with foreign policy and wants to initiate a paradigm shift: She counters power play and military muscle games with mediation in peace negotiations, feminist power analyses and climate justice. Realpolitik is exchanged for utopias, and there are just as many women ambassadors as ambassadors. In this way, the antagonism of nations can finally be replaced, and everyone will be able to live in greater security and with fewer conflicts.

Enuma Okoro is a Nigerian-American author, journalist, lecturer, and cultural curator. She is a weekly columnist for the Financial Times weekend newspaper. Her column, “The Art of Life,” reflects on the intersection of art, philosophy, spirituality, culture and how we live. Her broader research and writing interests include considering how the arts, intersectional feminism, philosophy, language and knowledge theory, theology and contemplative eco-spirituality speak into the study of the human condition, how we relate to the more-than-human, and how we accumulate and produce knowledge.

She is convinced that stories, through their varying mediums, are how we challenge old narratives, free our imaginations, and tell new and expanded truths that shift perceptions and instigate change.
