Pandas have long been considered the unofficial ambassador of the environment, and many of the issues pandas have are interconnected with the aims and priorities of the United Nations' new agenda.
The campaign has had over 900 submissions for name suggestions and applications to become a Panda Champion for the Global Goals.
Submissions have been coming in from all over the world. Among the many name suggestions are He He and Ping Ping which in Chinese mean Peace when put together, Pan-ki-moon, Da Shi (Ambassador) and Lian He (United).
During her visit, Zhou Xun submitted her own name suggestions for the two pandas, naming them Pang Pang and Da Da which sound like Panda when put together, and Jian Guo and Jian Hua which mean Building the Country and Building China in Chinese.
