The UN secretary general, Ban Ki Moon has made Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus as a member of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) Advocacy Group for the promotion and implementation of the SDGs, said a press release of the Yunus Centre on Friday.
These goals were adopted last September during the UN General Assembly.
Secretary general Ban Ki Moon announced the formation of the advocacy group at Davos Open Forum.
This Group has been entrusted with the responsibility to advise him and work with him to make sure SDGs become a household term all over the world, and that ordinary people can implement the decisions in their everyday lives.
The UN secretary general announced that the group will be co chaired by prime minister of Ghana Mahama and the prime minister of Norway Erna Solberg.
Muhammad Yunus, Jeffrey Sachs and Korean diplomat Dho were already working as MDG advocates and were invited by the secretary general to become SDG advocates for their powerful advocacy efforts.
