🌍 Hey everyone! As the United Nations turns 80, there’s a fresh lens on its mission: ensuring development benefits all. The latest episode in the special series "The UN at 80: China’s Perspective"—titled "Development Goals"—dives into how the UN is pushing global sustainable development forward.
In this episode, you’ll follow former UN Deputy Secretary-General advisor Wang Zhijia as she visits the home of Qu Geping, China’s first permanent representative to the United Nations Environment Programme. They share memories of the 1972 Stockholm Conference on the Human Environment—a landmark gathering that laid the groundwork for modern eco-practices.
From early discussions in Stockholm to today’s green policies, they highlight how China’s ecological initiatives—like reforestation and clean tech—feed into the broader UN agenda for sustainable growth. 🌱
For young people across South Asia and Southeast Asia, this journey shows that global goals aren’t just big ideas on paper—they connect with local efforts, whether it’s community gardens in Manila, solar rooftops in Mumbai, or waste-reduction projects in Jakarta.
The "Development Goals" episode shows how past breakthroughs are shaping tomorrow’s green future—proof that when we work together, progress is truly for everyone. 🚀
