UN Year in Review 2015: Human suffering is worsening (video)
The “UN Year in Review 2015,” produced by the UN Department of Public Information, takes a look at the milestones and challenges that marked the past 12 months. 2015 was a year of triumphal moments and haunting images: A little boy, washed up on the shore symbolising the plight of 60 million refugees; people in Paris, Beirut and Nairobi running from terror attacks and countries ruined in relentless battles. The "UN Year in Review 2015" remembers once more the daunting challenges the United Nations faced in its 70th anniversary year - but also gives a glimpse of what can be achieved, when we all work together. The global collaborative effort to curb Ebola, the unity of all member states to invest in the future of our planet by unanimously adopting the Sustainable Development Agenda to end extreme poverty and the historic Paris Agreement, joining hands in climate action to prevent further temperature rise.
