Forty years on, Sagan's speeches are at the heart of a new film from the UN Global Compact, with creative by AlmapBBDO and Boiler Filmes. Using Sagan's original recordings, the film shows an installation featuring automatons of wild animals, hand-crafted by Argentine artist Pablo Lavezzari and driven by the tape spooling out of an old tape player.
The soundtrack to Sagan's words is “When The Land Meets The Sea," a song made out of a single tape loop by Amulets, an artist known as “The Tape Wizard”.
The installation was set up at Bolsa de Arte in São Paulo, a gallery which put on an exhibit for guests. The idea is for the piece to be exhibited at galleries abroad in the second half of 2023.
The campaign is designed to make people reflect about an issue that was urgent then and is a full-blown emergency today. The idea is to invite companies to commit to the aims and goals of the UN Global Compact, a 2000 initiative that seeks to lead the corporate world in adopting humanitarian action.

About the UN Global Compact
As a special initiative of the UN Secretary-General, the United Nations Global Compact is a call for companies across the world to align their operations and strategies with Ten Principles on human rights, labour, environment and anti-corruption. Launched in 2000, the Global Compact guides and supports the global business community to advance the goals and values of the UN through responsible corporate practices. With over 18,000 participating business based in 162 countries and 65 Local Networks, this is the world's largest corporate sustainability initiative. For more information, follow @globalcompact on social media and visit our website at unglobalcompact.org
The UN Global Compact Brazil Network was created in 2003 and is now on track to be the second-largest local network in the world, with over 1,900 participants. The 50-plus projects conducted in the country address the topics of water and sanitation, food and agriculture, energy and climate, human rights and labor, anti-corruption, engagement and communications.

On board each craft was a golden record that included, among other things, the brain waves of love recorded during an EEG of Ann Druyan, a mother's first words to her newborn child, music from all over the world, and greetings in 59 different languages
Between them, Voyager 1 and 2 explored all the giant planets of our outer solar system, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune; 48 of their moons; and the unique system of rings and magnetic fields those planets possess.
In 2012, Voyager 1 made history when it became the first spacecraft to enter interstellar space. Voyager 2 followed suit in December 2018. The two spacecraft are the farthest human-built objects in space and NASA's longest-running space missions in history.

In the 19th and 20th centuries, observers using only the naked eye and a telescope saw features on Mars which they interpreted as evidence for a dry but Earth-like climate, for vegetation which grew and decayed with the seasons, and for a great Martian canal network designed by a heroic but dying race of hydraulic engineers.
In the third of his CHRISTMAS LECTURES, Carl Sagan explores the mystery of the Red Planet. From its rocky craters to its polar ice caps, Carl describes our understanding of the geology and chemistry of Mars, revealing the discovery of its two moons, Phobos and Deimos, in 1877, and the bizarre one-time suggestion that these moons were artificial satellites launched by an ancient but not extinct Martian civilisation.

About the 1977 CHRISTMAS LECTURES
What exists beyond Earth? Over six Lectures presented in 1977, American astronomer and cosmologist Carl Sagan explores the vast expanse of space that surrounds the third planet from the Sun.
Life on Earth
Where at first we could only discern the size of our planet and some knowledge of its atmosphere and configuration, the evolution of planetary exploration has revealed not only intricate details of Earth’s climate and geology, but a multitude of stars and planets besides our own.
Beginning with a closer look at the world we inhabit, Carl explores of the diversity of life on our own planet and the building blocks behind it, before questioning whether the same organic chemistry is occurring on planets in the outer solar system.
The Red Planet
In Lecture three onwards, Carl takes a closer look at our neighbouring planet, Mars. From early interpretations of terrestrial life on its surface to the surprising discoveries made by NASA’s Viking Program, the Red Planet has become the focus of efforts to discern whether intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe.
When Carl delivered his Lectures in the late 1970s, NASA had only just begun its Voyager program to the furthest planets in our solar system and no extra-solar planets were known to exist. Now, over three decades later, astronomers are looking at planets that lie beyond our solar system to ask the very same question we pondered over Mars: is there life out there?
In his second CHRISTMAS LECTURES, Carl Sagan travels beyond Earth to explore the possibility of life in outer space.
To find the answer, he looks back to the early stages of the development of our atmosphere. The hydrogen from this atmosphere has since escaped to space from Earth, but not from bigger planets like Jupiter. When the hydrogen-rich gases of the early Earth are mixed together and supplied with energy, the essential molecular building blocks of the proteins and nucleic acids are formed.
As Carl suggests, although this process no longer occurs on Earth, such organic chemistry should be occurring in the outer solar system on Jupiter, and Titan, Saturn’s largest moon. The NASA twin spacecraft Voyager 1 and 2, launched a few months prior to these Lectures in 1977, were sent to space to explore this hypothesis.

Sagan provides a unique insight into the history of our knowledge of the third planet from the Sun, formed 4.5 billion years ago.
Using images and models of the planets in our Solar System, Carl reveals how the heliocentric model of our universe, in which the Earth and planets revolve around the sun, came to replace the earlier Aristotelian idea that our planet was at the centre and everything orbited around it.
As the complexity of observational tools has developed from simple telescopes to complex spacecraft, so too has our understanding of the world we inhabit. Looking back on the evolution in space science in the years since Carl Sagan's Lectures we have made huge advances in our understanding of our planet’s environment, climate, weather, geology and biology – as well as our relative place in the universe.
