Hello!

POLITICO readers like yourself know that global policy shifts are driven by global policy events. That’s why we’re thrilled to bring you Global Playbook, a new POLITICO newsletter that will transport you right to the heart of the world’s most important and influential global events.

I’m Suzanne Lynch, journalist and writer, who will be authoring our new flagship product. Alongside editor Zoya Sheftalovich, we aim to give readers a front-row perspective on some of the world’s most exciting gatherings — starting with COP28 U.N. Climate Summit in Dubai, through the World Economic Forum in Davos, to other flagship gatherings where decision-makers come together to affect change, such as the IMF-World Bank meetings and the United Nations General Assembly.

Having both worked on POLITICO’s flagship playbooks, we know what makes our readers tick — exclusive and no-holds-barred access to some of the world’s most influential events.

We aim to be the definitive source of news, gossip and analysis, ensuring readers are kept up to speed on what’s going on at some of the most important events in the world.

Together, we represent the kind of global thinkers and citizens who form part of the POLITICO family.

An Irish national and long-time foreign correspondent, Suzanne has reported from the centers of power in the United States and Europe, as well as further afield in assignments in Africa and Latin America. Zoya, a Ukrainian-Australian who began her POLITICO career in Brussels back in 2015, anchors our editing coverage from Sydney. Together we will guide our increasingly global readership through some of the key global moments shaping international relations.

Be sure to sign up for our inaugural Global Playbook, which will land in your inbox direct from Dubai on Nov. 30, running through to Dec. 12. The newsletter will then pop up at high-profile global events as well as periodically throughout the year.

Thank you for reading!
