STORYLINE
Surrounded by a roaring crowd of an estimated 60,000 people, United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon was joined last week (27 September) by a star-studded roster of the world's leading performers as he helped kick-off the third annual Global Citizen Festival – a celebration of global unity and a reaffirmation of the will to address the planet's most pressing issues.
Already in its third year, the Global Citizen Festival was initiated by the Global Poverty Project which is campaigning to secure new commitments to health, education, women's equality and global partnerships. The enthusiastic audience had received free tickets to the concert online after helping to spread the word or by volunteering to help end poverty.
Coinciding with the high-level segment of the UN General Assembly, the Festival has almost become an unofficial side event to the Assembly itself and has attracted a host of world leaders who have voiced their commitment to the issues of sustainable development, poverty and climate change.
Among those in attendance last night were President Paul Kagame of Rwanda, the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi; the Prime Minister of Norway, Erna Solberg; and Jim Yong Kim, the President of the World Bank.
Ban said “our world needs solar power, wind power, but I believe in an even stronger source of energy, people power. The United Nations have heard your voices tonight, loud and clear. You are the generation that can end extreme poverty by 2030.”
He told the cheering crowd that “a better world is around the corner. As United Nations, as united Global Citizens, let’s commit to getting there together.
With less than 470 days left to achieve the eight anti-poverty targets known as the Millennium Development Goals (MDG's), the Secretary-General has presided over numerous high-level meetings and side events throughout the course of the week with a specific focus on tackling the overwhelming peace and security, development and climate issues facing the world.
Since 2000, the world reached targets on reducing poverty, increasing access to improved drinking water sources, improving the lives of slum dwellers and achieving gender parity in primary school but a number of targets, including sanitation, maternal health, global inequality and youth employment, remain unmet.
Nevertheless, to the tune of Jay-Z, No Doubt, Fun, and Carrie Underwood, Ban reassured the crowd that hope was on the horizon.
