Responsibility lies with all of us
The SDGs are a very helpful orientation framework for how causes and effects are interwoven globally and locally and what tasks humanity has to fulfill towards achieving them. Governments, companies, organizations, institutions and each individual are challenged to question and, if necessary, realign their actions.
However, many people have little or no awareness of the SDGs. Their average level of awareness is
about 50% overall according to a study by Global Survey (global: 49.7%, EU: 56.5%, Germany: 46.1%). This is a shame and offers a lot of potential as each of us could contribute significantly to the achievement of the SDGs in their daily life.
For those who want to take action, the
SDG Portal, for example, provides information and indicators for mapping the implementation of goals or sub-goals at the municipal level in Germany.
There is a lot to do. Through our understanding of sustainability, we act in networks, in dialogue and above all always with the 5 P's in focus. For more impact for
