UNICEF: Sustainable Development Goals beginning of the 'drive to turn commitments into action’
Statement by UNICEF Executive Director Anthony Lake on the adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals
“Today’s welcome decision marks the end of a process – and a beginning. The drive to turn commitments into action.
UNICEF Executive Director Anthony Lake speaks at the UN General Assembly High-Level Meeting on the 25th anniversary of the adoption of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, November 2014
“We will measure our progress, yes, through statistics. But the true measure will be in every child lifted out of poverty; through every mother who survives childbirth; every girl who does not lose her childhood to early marriage.
“By helping the most disadvantaged children today – by giving them a fair chance in life – we can help break the bonds of extreme poverty tomorrow.”
