Sachs, the Director of the Earth Institute at Columbia University, hosted the Secretary-General on behalf of the New York Society for Ethical Culture to honor his service at the United Nations for the better part of the last decade. \u201cBan Ki Moon was always able to manage under remarkable pressures and get us where we are this evening,\u201d Sachs remarked.Moon was presented with an award for Ethics In Action before taking the podium to speak about his time as Secretary-General.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: left;\">Secretary-General Moon spoke at length about his close relationship with Pope Francis during his tenure, noting that he was the first pope to visit during the high level session of the General Assembly meetings. \u201cHe and I worked very closely to make sure that climate change is agreed and sustainable development will deliver all the necessary things for many people around the world,\u201d he noted with respect to his conversations with Pope Francis. He highlighted the severity of climate change declaring its prevention a \u201cmoral imperative.\u201d\u00a0When asked\u00a0of\u00a0his thoughts with regard to the global refugee crisis, the Secretary-General was quick to make the comparison of refugees during World War Two. The sheer amount of refugees in need has caused a backlash leading to a lack\u00a0in\u00a0compassion. Global solidarity must be attained through compassionate leadership. \u201cWe will see that we live in a small world after all,\u201d said Secretary-General Moon. He chose to highlight human rights as the central framework under his leadership. \u201cIt is part of our identity,\u201d he remarked.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: left;\"><em><strong>Note<\/strong>: Since 2011, the High Atlas Foundation has Consultative Status at the United Nations Economic and Social Council.\u00a0 HAF Members are given the special opportunity to attend U.N. sponsored events, conferences, and symposia<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Ryan Lenz High Atlas Foundation Volunteer \u201cEverything will seem easier after this,\u201d proclaimed Professor Jeffrey Sachs to the outgoing General Secretary Ban Ki Moon at an event in New York, this past Wednesday evening.
