I did it with a strong belief in what we, as leaders, have to do. We must work to ensure that the most basic things that so many of us take for granted, are available—not as a privilege, but as a human right—to the millions who currently do not have access to them.
I’m talking about things as basic as clean water and sanitation, health care, food, shelter, clothing and a chance at the one thing that can end the cycle of poverty for a family, a community, even a country—an education.
The Sustainable Development Goals are the world’s collective admission
of that duty. They are a covenant; yes, a social contract for
transformation, and a path to bring hope to the world, especially to the
less-privileged people.
They are our understanding that in order for progress to continue, in order for peace to exist, we must first fix what has been broken in this world.
