Gro Harlem Brundtland says inequality and climate change need urgent attention worldwide. The former Prime Minister of Norway spoke in Minneapolis at the 2015 Nobel Peace Prize Forum about the universal human values of human rights and democracy.

Brundtland is now the deputy chair of "The Elders," an independent group of global leaders founded by the late Nelson Mandela. The Nobel Peace Prize Forum is sponsored by Augsburg College.
