The 17 Global Goals
Ratified in 2015 by all Member States of the United Nations, the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) encompass the health of the biosphere, human society and the economy – every aspect which determines our prosperity on this Planet. Based in science, the 2030 Agenda and SDGs highlight where we are and where we need to go to ensure a dignified and quality life for everyone. Each of our choices has an impact, because everything is interconnected both biologically and technologically. Today more than ever. This map helps us measure ourselves against reality by relating data and actions, problems and solutions.
Hover over each Goal to find out more!
It will be a pleasure to meet you on this journey, to share discoveries and achievements.
Citizens
In our everyday lives we make choices that have an impact on a larger scale. The UN has drafted a list of 10 actions for every SDG – a good starting point which can inspire greater changes in our society, the environment and the economy. Let’s not forget that with each purchase we support entire supply chains.
Businesses and organizations
The SDGs are the only viable map to implement the sustainable development necessary to ensure the prosperity of our species. The United Nations Global Compact has jointly developed with BLab a free online platform to help businesses of all kinds integrate sustainable strategies into their operations.
Educators
Gli SDG sono un ottimo strumento per spiegare ai bambini come garantire prosperità e benessere. Tondo come il Mondo è un kit per insegnanti e studenti delle scuole elementari, che insegna in modo pratico e ludico la ciclicità della natura e come, imitandola, possiamo proteggerla. Include esperienze da fare in classe, all’aperto e a casa.
