As the United Nations prepares to celebrate its 80th anniversary in 2025, CGTN has teamed up with global content creators to launch "One Home: Shared Future," a visual storytelling campaign inviting young voices from around the globe to share their visions for humanity's future.
In the latest episode, French youth Edward challenges us to rethink how we tackle extreme poverty. His prescription? Cancel unfair debts that hold back developing nations, impose taxes on the ultra-rich to fund social programs, and channel investments into sustainable, green initiatives.
"We have the tools and the technology to end poverty," Edward says. "But to make it happen, we need bold policies: debt relief for struggling countries, progressive tax systems, and green investments that benefit everyone."
Edward's perspective echoes a growing movement among young global citizens who see economic justice and environmental sustainability as inseparable. By uniting finance reform with green priorities, they argue, we can build a more equitable world for all.
The "One Home: Shared Future" campaign is more than a series of videosit's a call to action. Through creative storytelling, it amplifies youth-driven solutions and sparks conversations that cross borders. As the UN marks its milestone anniversary, voices like Edward's remind us that ending extreme poverty is not just a goalit's a shared responsibility.
As participants around the world contribute their stories, the campaign underscores how collective action can drive real change in the fight against poverty.
