A “google hang out” with youth and two reps of UN High Level Panel

A year ago, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon convened a panel of 26 eminent people, including Center for American Progress Chair John Podesta and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Tawakkol Karman, to make recommendations for an ambitious global development agenda beyond the conclusion of the Millennium Development Goals—the shared global antipoverty targets co-signed by all U.N. member states—at the end of 2015.

 

In its report Released May 30, the U.N. High-Level Panel on the Post-2015 Development Agenda seeks to build a new framework for global development that continues the progress of the Millennium agenda while also building a new spirit of global partnership.

 

The panel's report recognizes in particular the important role young people will play in shaping and realizing the post-2015 agenda. 220px-John_Podesta

 

Podesta and Karman answered questions about their work with the U.N. High-Level Panel and provided an opportunity for youth to engage on the issues most pressing to them as the world moves into the next phase of global poverty eradication. 220px-Tawakkul_Karman_(Munich_Security_Conference_2012)
