South Korean pop band Blackpink and American poet Amanda Gorman took to the United Nations stage on Monday to urge action on climate change and other global goals that include achieving gender equality and ending hunger and poverty.
Gorman read a new poem in the U.N. General Assembly chamber in New York, a day before world leaders start making annual speeches to the 193-member body.
Speaking via video, the four members of Blackpink - U.N. advocates for the sustainable development goals - urged people to decrease energy consumption, choose local produce and cut food waste. A U.N. climate science panel has said governments and industries should drastically reduce fossil fuel emissions to contain global warming and limit its climate impacts.
