As a kick-off to this year’s Open Day, UN Geneva is inviting everyone to share their ideas – no matter how small or big they may be – on how to achieve the 17 Sustainable Development Goals.
How can we reduce inequalities, food waste, water and air pollution? How can we make local consumption, CO2-free transport and heating more attractive? How can we use new technologies, 3D printing, global knowledge sharing, artificial intelligence or other means to reduce poverty, and ensure access to education and health care for all?
Let us know how you would do it.
