The United Nations Sustainability Goals
An overview of the UN sustainability goals and their link to Design Thinking.
The UN sustainability goals are a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity between the people and the planet. There are 17 Sustainable Development Goals which have been developed as a call to action for all countries to improve equity, spur growth and to tackle climate change (amongst others). Many governments (and sub governments) prioritise the goals or merge the goals into actions for their communities.
