The United Nations Headquarters podium in New York has served some of the most distinguished individuals in its long history. This Friday, it was graced by Academy Award-nominated musician Pharrell Williams, delivering a speech to a room of atypical guests — children. The Assembly Hall regularly seats the world’s most reputable leaders. However, as part of the International Day of Happiness, Pharrell Williams addressed issues related to the dangers of climate change to a room full of “#happyplanet” enthusiasts. The acclaimed artist has also been working with former United States Vice President Al Gore, organizing a global concert in June to further raise awareness for a United Nations-backed agreement on climate change. Enjoy the videos and for more on the event, visit here.
