Every year, Goalkeepers presents the annual Global Goals Awards. These awards recognize remarkable individuals taking action to help achieve the Global Goals by 2030. The fifth annual Global Goals Awards will be announced September 22, 2020. Come back then to meet this year’s remarkable recipients.
In the past, our annual Goalkeepers Report has focused on recognizing the progress we’ve made and offered a clear view of what still needs to be done. But as we’ve all experienced, 2020 is different. Our report reflects that.
We have to confront the current reality with candor: SDG progress has now stopped. In this report, we track 18 indicators included in the United Nations’ SDGs. In recent years, the world has improved on every single one. This year, on the vast majority, we’ve regressed.
Launching September 25, this 19-day series will cover all 17 SDG goals individually, reflecting on progress towards the SDGs’ objectives and the extent to which institutional investors are working with the goals in their financial decision making.
Includes proprietary journalism plus commissioned articles from CEOs, CIOs and heads of responsible investment at leading pension funds and investment houses globally.

Achieving SDG 16 through digital solutions to enable transparency and efficiency.
Technology has the potential to boost government efficiency, transparency, responsiveness, and citizen trust; it can enable the achievement of SDG 16 and can thus support all SDGs. However, the capacity to leverage technology for public sector transformation is uneven and challenged by the digital divide. This webinar will show good cases from the UN E-Government Survey 2020, and discuss how technology and the digital transformation can support the public sector and the achievement of the SDGs around the world.
Join us for the first ever LIVE Global GoalsCast taping that will be a wrap up to Global Goals Week.

The live recording will be followed by a high-level networking opportunity to encourage the creation of networks of support that will continue long past the week’s end.

Since the launch of the Sustainable Development Goals, many businesses have taken them to heart, moved away from traditional Corporate Social Responsibility, and moved toward a deeper purpose. As we enter into the Decade of Action, facing a global pandemic and increased social unrest, governments and nonprofits cannot reach these goals alone. It has never been more important for businesses to join the effort.
Hosted by Can & Will, the creative studio at the heart of social impact, this event is for small to medium sized business owners who want to use the power of their business platforms to create sustainable change within their own communities. Business owners will gain industry insights and tools for defining an authentic purpose by integrating the Sustainable Development Goals into their business practices and marketing strategies.

The world is facing a multitude of crises and as COVID-19 has spread, it has underscored how interconnected our world is and the importance of science in ensuring a sustainable future. Tackling each of these crises requires scientific knowledge and expertise for diagnosing challenges and developing solutions. Stronger international cooperation and greater collaboration between policymakers and scientists are needed to mobilize science to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in every country.
On October 8 2020, Springer Nature and the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN) with its Thematic Research Network on Data and Statistics (TReNDS) will host a three hour virtual conference on science for a sustainable future. This global virtual conference will bring together policymakers, government representatives, UN officials, as well as leading scientists from around the world to discuss the role of science in achieving the SDGs.
Within the framework of Agenda 2030, we believe that to achieve SDG 8, all young people must have access to formal and decent work. Rural youth have a fundamental role in the development of the country, since they are the main engine of economic growth as well as the guardians of food security. In spite of the limitations present in rural areas, many young people have been knocking them down through effort and dedication. They not only seek their personal well-being, but also benefit and empower their communities. We invite you to know the stories that encourage us to continue fighting and working for a more just Peru.
Through the forum “Play for the SDGs,” we discussed what the SDGs are and why they are important.

Allies of this event include SDG Regional Observatory of the University of the Andes.
As part of SDG Action Week, we will talk about rural communities and the SDGs, learning how to work with them, what communities and youth are asking of the SDGs, and what the youth perspective on the SDG is. Allies include Youth Collective for Change and National Network of Youth Nicaragua.
Allied organizations will support the diffusion of informative arts to generate a greater impact on the youth and to make them aware of the importance of the SDGs.

This event will have guests from different organizations in Peru. Attendees will share with us experiences, activities, and approaches to the SDG.
Allies include Hills of Paradise and Ecotourism Circuit Association.
