WHY?

WHEN?

WHY?

The world debut of the Global SDGs Challenge six years ago was long overdue. Now in the TENTH year of the SDGs (2016-2030), the clock is ticking and Covid19 only slowed our progress. We're behind and world needs even greater ACTION on SDGs if goals are to be met.

Collaboration and tangible solutions are imperative!

The Challenge is a great way to become an engaged global citizen and learn hands-on about SDGs Together aligned to solve the world's most nagging issues, we are united.

Certificates will be awarded to each team member who submits a solution. Semi-Finalists, Finalists, and Winners will be presented special designation, perks, and prizes (TBD).

Read SDGs Op-Ed!

HOW?

WHEN?

WHY?

Free & Easy! Bring forth your own team-- convince your family or friends! Or, you can opt to join another team of a similar SDG interest area. Join us!

Teams will decide which SDG and SDG subtopic (indicator) to focus on solving, when, where to meet, how to approach brainstorming sessions, division of work, and the format by which to convey the big ideas for the solution to be videoed (i.e. powerpoint, speech, skit, or ?!) and how to divvy up roles in presentation/briefing to public.

Workshops, Mentors, Minders, and Muses will be available to jump-start or provide enhanced support.

Winning teams are eligible for The SDG Percolator and solutions polishing; those with viable models may be matched with global incubators and funding sources.
