Why we’re rallying a generation.
The 17 Sustainable Development Goals – the Global Goals – are an urgent call for action around the world to protect vulnerable populations and the planet by 2030. This effort needs the determination and vision of young people. It needs their spirit of innovation and their ability to break down barriers. It needs their sense of urgency.
