САЩ: Дейвид Бекъм призова световните лидери да сложат децата в "сърцето" на глобалните цели

Football star and UNICEF advocate David Beckham called on world leaders on Thursday to put children at the heart of the new 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda, during the unveiling of a digital installation attended by United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and UNICEF Executive Director Anthony Lake. As the UN prepares to adopt the Sustainable Development Goals, the Assembly of Youth, a digital installation created for UNICEF by Google, harnesses mobile technology and social media to deliver personal messages from children and young people across the globe directly to world leaders. The messages highlight the challenges they face in their homes and communities - including extreme poverty, inequality, violence, deadly disease and conflict – and express their hopes for the future. At the unveiling, David Beckham urged world leaders to listen to these messages, to take action and transform the lives of millions of children by putting them at the centre of all decisions and investments in the new 15-year development agenda. UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and UNICEF Executive Director Anthony Lake also offered statements on the day. Footage and script courtesy of UNICEF
