What does the UN do?
15th September 2016
I love this series of mini clips from the United Nations outlining real-life examples of their work and intervention. Each clip is between about 2 minutes and 4 minutes in length.
Some of the clips include:
- The Crozet Islands and a nuclear testing station
- Saving Sao Tome through the chocolate industry
- The story of a brave North Korean refugee
- The response to the Zika outbreak
- Preventing extinction of tigers
