This wasn’t a problem for New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, who made global headlines as the first leader to bring a baby into the chamber.

Speaking to UN Social Media’s Charlotte Scaddan in the VIP Social Media Zone, Ms. Arden described what her Government is doing to tackle some of the big global challenges, from gender equality to climate change to migration.
