On July 24, the Millennium Development Goals were honored at the inaugural “Save the World” Awards in Austria, as a bold promise to end poverty in our generation.

The “Save the World” awards, founded by Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Mikhail Gorbachev, recognized personalities and organizations working toward a sustainable and livable future for our planet and its people. More than 2,000 guests attended the show at the site of an inactive atomic power plant in Zwentendorf, Lower Austria, and millions more watched on television around the world.
