6.2 Sustainable Development Goals—A Roadmap for the Future
FOCUS 6 – Sustainability
TAKING INFORMED ACTION UNDERSTAND We all have an impact on our world, and we can each make a difference. ASSESS Access the SDGs in Action App and get inspired by the small, everyday changes you can make that can have a real impact for your community and the world. ACT Encourage your classmates to join you in making a small difference in your daily routines with the goal of making a larger impact together. SDGs in Action App The SDGs in Action app (https://sdgsinaction.com/) was developed to highlight the Sustainable Development Goals - the world’s to-do list to end poverty, reduce inequalities, and tackle climate change. It is presented by the GSMA, which represents the interests of nearly 800 mobile operators worldwide, and Project Everyone, a non-profit global campaign to spread the messaging of the SDGs. *Note: In the interest of your students’ safety, do not have them submit information to the app that could divulge their personal contact information or where they will be at a certain time. The app’s project examples can be inspirational, but it’s best to leave it up to the students’ parent(s) or guardian(s) to decide whether your students should actually post or interact with others on the app.
A special thank you to the United Nations for giving TOP permission to use their information on the SDG as part of the teacher background for this lesson.
