Stephen Hawking has persevered for years with ALS, adapting to his increasingly limited communication through the use of assistive technology. Now the gaze of his eyes allow him to choose characters, words, phrases which are turned into speech. His name and reputation allow his "voice" to be heard all around the globe.
In a powerful video message sent to another world leading author Paulo Coelho (author of The Alchemist) Hawking tells of an upcoming meeting where a grand mission is being launched. This is a vision of a world without extreme poverty, a world that is increasingly connected and educated. This is a world that is sustainable for generations to come. And it is an idea that is very timely when it seems that many forces are trying to divide people along lines of religion, along lines of political thinking and along lines of geographical power struggle. By seeing people as "other" it is all too easy to marginalize them, think they must be destroyed or ignored. This message is a message of hope and you can find it on Coelho's public site in the form of a video: https://www.facebook.com/paulocoelho/videos/10153597760671211/.
On September 25th 2015, 193 world leaders will commit to 17 Global Goals to achieve 3 extraordinary things in the next 15 years. End extreme poverty. Fight inequality & injustice. Fix climate change. The Global Goals for sustainable development could get these things done. In all countries. For all people. The video ends with a call to spread the word about this visionary set of ideas.
