sector, NGOs and other groups, came together to shape
how we can reduce poverty, advance social equity and
ensure environmental protection on an ever more
crowded planet.

has given us the tools to build with. The work starts
now"

lives on $1.25 a day or less.
 A billion and half people in the world don’t have access
to electricity.
