    CelebMixBy
    *HANDOUT* July 8th 2015: One Direction launch their global campaign action/1D highlighting 2015 as a year when the world can set the agenda to end extreme poverty and tackle inequality and climate change. The campaign aims at putting pressure on world leaders at two crucial world summits in New York in September and Paris in Dec, to commit to a better future for everyone. Action/1D will give young people across the world the chance to add their voices to global conversations about the future of people and planet in order to achieve the best possible development and climate frameworks. Fans are asked to describe the kind of world they want to live in by sharing powerful pieces of creative content, including film and photos using the #action1D hashtag. In early September, the pieces of content gathered as part of the action/1D campaign will be revealed at a global premiere ahead of the unveiling of the final sustainable development framework at the UN in New York. One Direction said: âTime and again our fans have shown how creative and powerful they can be when they unite and thatâs why we want to all join together to speak out and hopefully make a real and lasting change to the world around us. âYoung people really do have the power to help end poverty, tackle inequality and to stop dangerous climate change. Now is the time for us to unite, take action and raise our voices to show that we care about the future of our planet.â

    Earlier this year, One Direction teamed up with Action/2015 to launch Action/1D with help from their millions fans. An initiative that aimed to change the world in terms of poverty, tackle inequality between countries and people, and finally; slow down climate change.

    Harry, Niall, Louis and Liam asked their fans to show what they care about and what our generation wants to change in the world by filming short videos or posting pics of their conviction.  As a result, they created the following video that will be presented to the world leaders at the UN summit on 27th September.  This will hopefully aid in making a change and tackling some of the world’s biggest issues.

    With about 80,000 actions, the fans gathered together from all around the world to make their voices heard and get involved. One Direction boys have already shown their own interest in making our world a little brighter by hosting a charity ball in London to help Believe In Magic and poor little princes and princesses, making this night unforgettable. Thank You Louis Tomlinson. Throughout their career the four boys always manage to use their fame in a positive way, as when they trip to the Ghana back in 2013 and witness with their own eyes how they are helping, by teaming with Red Nose Day, millions of little kids and family on the over side of the world.

    One Direction fans have already showed what they are able to achieve by coming together and act for their ideas, as they released and streamed themselves the non-official single from the 1D boys,  “No Control”, making it the first song to top on the Billboard charts without any official released. Well done Directioners !
