As the UN hits its 80th year in 2025, CGTN has teamed up with creators worldwide for the "One Home: Shared Future" campaign, sparking stories from youth around the globe. In this episode, we chat with Edward from France – a Gen Z changemaker passionate about wiping out extreme poverty. 🌟
Here’s Edward’s no-nonsense breakdown on how we can make zero extreme poverty a reality:
- Cancel Unfair Debts: Free countries from loans that keep them stuck in poverty 🚫💸
- Tax the Ultra-Rich: A tiny extra charge on billionaires could fund schools, hospitals, and more 💰➡️🏥
- Green Investments: Putting cash into renewable energy and sustainable projects to build resilient communities 🌱🔋
Edward’s vision echoes what young changemakers across South and Southeast Asia are calling for, from community solar projects in Kerala, India to microloan networks in Vietnam. It’s all about smart policies and solidarity to lift everyone up—no one left behind.
