Our challenges are big, but as we’ve heard during the past two days at the Social Good Summit — both here …

Get ready to be inspired! The Social Good Summit kicks off at noon ET today, and we’ve got an amazing lineup of speakers to talk about the future we want in 2030 and how each of us can take action today to make it happen.

We just wrapped up the first day of the Social Good Summit in New York, but the conversation continues around the world.

In 2010, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon launched the Every Woman Every Child movement to rally and coordinate global action to save the lives of 16 million women and children by 2015. The United Nations Foundation answered this call to action by committing, with partners, $400 million over five years to improve women’s and children’s health.

Check out a few highlights from the first hours of the summit, and watch the summit the remainder of the summit (happening September 22-24) live at new.livestream.com/mashable.

Want to join next week’s conversation on global issues, but can’t make it to New York for the start of the United Nations General Assembly?

With so much going on next week, we’ve pulled together a list of events you can join even if you’re not in New York.

What issues should be discussed to advance the development agenda? Skoll World Forum, partnering with the United Nations Foundation, Johnson & Johnson, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and The Huffington Post, asked a group of experts for their ideas.

Today the United Nations Foundation and the ExxonMobil Foundation are launching a first-of-its kind report dedicated to advancing women’s economic participation and success.

Cats. Food. Sunsets. More cats. These are a few of the things that pop up on my Instagram photo feed. But I’m excited for something new: #Instacorps!
