| 10 achievements from Davos 2017 |
|
| Davos Annual Meeting is often described as a talking shop, but it is also a working meeting for dozens of different communities from all regions of the world, all ages and all sections of society. When Davos ends, our work continues on 50 year-round Forum projects aimed at supporting the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. |
| SDS Int’l Group Contribution with "SOLVE: MIT Center of Collective Intelligence" |
|
| Recently United Nations Academic Impact partnered with the newly create Massachusetts Institute of Technology MIT Solve on their first ever Solve Challenge! Solve is a new initiative from MIT that aims to help address some of the world's most challenging problems by bringing people from various backgrounds together to come up with workable solutions and then create projects to test those ideas. |
| E-government a powerful tool to implement global sustainability goals |
|
| A new United Nations report has found that e-government is an effective tool for facilitating integrated policies and public service by promoting accountable and transparent institutions, such as through open data and participatory decision-making, and therefore it has the potential to help support the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). |
| The 2016 SustainAbility Leaders: Annual Survey |
|
| For SustainAbility and GlobeScan’s annual Sustainability Leaders Survey, SustainAbility Institute asked over 900 expert stakeholders representing business, government, NGOs and academia across 84 countries to evaluate the progress that institutions have made since the 1992 Earth Summit and reflect on their expectations for the next 20 years. |
| SDS Int’l Group Joint to “the Global Movement for Children” (GMC Campaign) |
|
| The GMC was created as a result of the outstanding success of the “Say Yes for Children” campaign which led to the UN Special Session on Children in 2002 resolving to help mobilize citizens of every nation families, communities, civil society, organizations of every kind and children within an active, influential and united movement. |
| Education for All 2000-2015: Only a third of countries reached global education goals |
|
| Just one third of countries have achieved all of the measurable Education for All (EFA) goals set in 2000. Only half of all countries have achieved the most watched goal of universal primary enrolment. An extra $22 billion a year is needed on top of already ambitious government contributions in order to ensure we achieve the new education targets now being set for the year 2030. |
