This short video offers some much-needed perspective.

"Home, the video featured above, is a reminder that the space we inhabit extends beyond our house, neighborhood, country or even continent -- and its up to us to take care of it. The video will kick off the Global Citizen Festival, a concert taking place on Sept. 26 in New York that aims to fight global poverty.

The two-and-a-half minute clip, directed by Mark Grimmer and produced by Richard Curtis, raises awareness for the United Nations Global Goals , tackling issues ranging from climate change to empowering women and girls.

To drive home its point, the video features a view of Earth from the moon. The clip offers us a zoomed-in perspective of our individual houses, and then shows us our collective home -- Earth -- from space.

The video features the voice of Frank Borman from the Apollo 8 mission in 1968. Describing the view from the moon, he states: All those differences and nationalistic traits are pretty well going to blend. And you're going to get a concept that maybe this is one world.

This year, the Global Citizen Festival will feature Beyonce, Pearl Jam and Coldplay, among others. The event will be hosted by Stephen Colbert, Salma Hayek Pinault, Deborra-Lee Furness, Hugh Jackman, Kerry Washington and Olivia Wilde.

Global leaders including John Kerry, U.S. secretary of state; Narendra Modi, prime minister of India; and Juan Manuel Santos, president of Colombia will join the event remotely, pledging funds to fix critical problems worldwide.
