Stories and Advice to Engage Citizens for Sustainable Development
In this guest post, the University of Pretoria’s Willem Fourie presents the South African SDG Hub, a new resource for everyone who wants to put the SDGs into practice into practice in South Africa. The Hub aims to promote research, dialogue and innovation, helping government, business and civil society leaders boost their SDG capacities.
In Brazil, citizens have many options to engage online, stay informed and share their views on sustainable development. In 2017, the Government presented six digital platforms in its SDG report to the UN.
This “immersive hub”, created by the United States Agency for International Development in 2015, tells powerful stories of individuals, families and communities in transformation.
The Government of Argentina has launched an online platform all about the SDGs. You’ll find an introduction to the goals, latest documents, news and videos about strategies and projects, and an interactive map about progress towards SDG targets.
Mitmachen! (“Get Active!”) shows people how they can contribute to the SDGs through sustainable consumption, volunteering or corporate social responsibility. The portal is run by Austria’s Federal Ministry for Europe, Integration and Foreign Affairs and the Austrian Development Agency.
Not many governments run an official Twitter account devoted entirely to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The Swiss Government was one of the first to do so, sharing information about policies, events, campaigns and progress towards the SDGs.
