UNFPA, the United Nations Population Fund, will release a world anthem today entitled United. Performed by more than 50 musicians from 13 countries, United commemorates United Nations Day and marks the beginning of a week-long countdown to 31 October, when the world population is projected to reach 7 billion. Beginning today, visit http://facebook.com/7billionactions to listen to the song, experience the music video and share with your friends. “Some say our planet is too crowded. I say we are seven billion strong,” said United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon. “In our increasingly interconnected world, we all have something to give and something to gain by working together. Let us unite, seven billion strong, in the name of the global common good.” United, the result of a partnership between UNFPA, Playing For Change and the Millennium Development Goals Achievement Fund, is part of 7 Billion Actions, a global campaign to build awareness around the opportunities and challenges of a world of seven billion people. The initiative calls on citizens and organizations to post their commitments for making a healthier and more sustainable world. With every social issue—from the environment and urbanization to health and youth empowerment—requiring action more urgently than ever before, the 7 billion historic milestone offers an opportunity to rethink relationships with one another and with the planet. “The world population is interconnected like never before,” commented UNFPA Executive Director Dr. Babatunde Osotimehin. “I see the milestone of 7 Billion as a call to action to ensure that everyone can enjoy equal rights and dignity.” With the release of United, individuals around the world are invited to create their own unique versions of the song at www.7billionactions.org/music and have a chance to be included in a Playing For Change mash-up. In this way, the song and the campaign hopes to inspire all people and organizations to address the challenges of our time and improve our world of seven billion people and counting.

UN objavio himnu povodom 7-milijarditog stanovnika VIDEO: UN je tjedan dana prije proglašenja rođenja 7-milijarditog stanovnika Zemlje objavio prigodnu himnu nazvanu United Zemlja nije prenapučena već ima snagu sedam milijardi ljudi, poručio je glavni tajnik Ujedinjenih naroda Ban Ki-moon u povodu Dana UN-a, svjetske organizacije koja je sedam dana uoči proglašenja rođenja 7-milijarditog stanovnika Zemlje, objavila himnu u povodu toga događaja, javlja Hina. Nazvana "United", himna u izvedbi 50 glazbenika iz 13 zemalja dostupna je na internetskim stranicama Fonda UN-a za stanovništvo (UNFPA) od ponedjeljka, na UN-ov dan koji se obilježava 24. listopada, na dan kada je na snagu stupila Povelja UN-a. "Neki misle da je naš planet prenapučen. Ja kažem da imamo snagu sedam milijardi ljudi. U našem svijetu, sve povezanijem, svi možemo nešto dati i primiti radeći zajedno (...) u ime globalnog zajedničkog dobra", poručio je Ban Ki-moon. Svi stanovnici mogu na http://7billionactions.org postavljati vlastite inačice pjesme, navodi UNFPA. Kampanja bi trebala nadahnuti sve ljude i udruge da se uključe u rješavanje teškoća s kojima se suočava svijet od 7 milijarda ljudi kako bi se poboljšao život u njemu, navodi svjetska organizacija. Sa sjedištem u New Yorku, UNFPA je agencija osnovana u svrhu pružanja financijske pomoći za istraživanja i pomoć pri rješavanju problema vezanih uz stanovništvo te za promicanje svijesti o planiranju obitelji.
