[00:00] Who could ever be against ending world hunger or having clean drinking water, right? But when you actually read the documents, a couple things start to stand out. In 2015, all 193 members of the United Nations got together and they adopted this Agenda 2030.
[00:15] Before this, the UN had something called the Millennium Development Goals, and those were mostly supposed to help developing countries fight things like extreme poverty and hunger and disease in the poorest parts of the world.
[00:27] But Agenda 2030, it applies to every country, including rich countries like the United States. They listed 17 goals and 169 targets. By the way, most of them actually sound altruistic.
[00:39] They sound good. But when you actually read the documents, a couple things start to stand out. Goal 11, for example, is about cities. Goal 12 is about consumption. Goal 8 is about expanding access to banking and financial services to everyone.
[00:54] Then there's goal 16. by 2030, provide legal identity for all, including birth registration. There's also goal 17, which says, the way to get all of this done will be through partnerships and cooperation with non-governmental organizations.
[01:08] So this whole plan, it'll also be carried out through the policies of some of the biggest companies and institutions around the world.
