Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg called for more people around the world to access the Internet at a UN conference today. At the 70th UN General Assembly's UN Conference on Sustainable Development today, Mark Zuckerberg said that connecting the world is one of the major challenges of our generation, and there are still 4 billion people in the world who do not have access to the Internet. An advertisement called "Connection Manifesto" in which Mark Zuckerberg participated pointed out that Internet access is crucial to achieving human goals. Mark Zuckerberg and related organizations aim to connect everyone on the planet to the Internet by 2020. This move is also included in the UN's efforts to eliminate extreme poverty on the planet by 2030.

Zuckerberg said on Facebook that by giving people the tools, knowledge and opportunity to access the internet, we can empower them, and we know that the internet is an important driver of jobs, economic growth and opportunity. And research tells us that for every 10 people who connect to the internet, one person is lifted out of poverty.

Zuckerberg also said today that Facebook is working with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees to bring internet access to refugee camps around the world.
