Storyline

United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Goodwill Ambassador Nikolaj Coster-Waldau helped shed light on the Sustainable Developments Goals this week by kicking off the second annual women’s amateur World Cup soccer tournament in New York City.

Coster-Waldau, who plays dashing anti-hero Jamie Lannister in HBO’s hit series Game of Thrones refereed the Global Goals World Cup at WNYC Transmitter Park on Tuesday (19 Sep) in Brooklyn.
The Global Goals World Cup featured 24 teams of women from five continents this year. Each team decided how they want to set their development agenda, by choosing which Global Goal to play for. Teams were awarded special points for creativity in advocating for their chosen goal.

The 17 Sustainable Development Goals, also called the Global Goals, are a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity. Coster-Waldau was appointed a UNDP Goodwill Ambassador In 2016.
