Hello Global Citizens! Our world needs more solar power and wind power. But I believe in an even stronger source of energy: People power! The United Nations has heard your voices tonight. Loud and clear. You are the generation that can end extreme poverty by 2030. I commit to challenge world leaders to develop the most ambitious set of sustainable development goals. And I commit to bring your voices to the table. A better world is around the corner. As united nations – as united global citizens – let’s commit to get there together!
