I am honored to join forces with the United Nations SDG Advocates, a group of distinguished leaders, thinkers and activists. I thank the Secretary General for his leadership and passion in driving communities and governments across the globe toward critical commitments that will ensure a solutions-based approach to the world’s most vexing problems – climate change, hunger and famine, the refugee crisis, poverty, justice, equity and inclusion, to name a few. I am humbled to do my part to help the Secretary General and the Advocates inspire others to take actions that will help shape the future and provide for a healthy, safe, prosperous world for our children
