Richard Haass, president of the Council on Foreign Relations, explores the main themes of his new book, “The World: A Brief Introduction,” in a CERAWeek Conversation with IHS Markit Vice Chairman Daniel Yergin. The world is in a unique moment in history, Haass contends, and a deeper understanding of global issues and a renewed appreciation of alliances are needed to confront the challenges ahead. Haass examines the issues, from COVID-19 responses to Iran, Russia, and U.S.-China relations, and shares insights on innovative approaches for cooperation on climate change and international trade.
