17 UN Sustainable Development Goals, 7 Grand Civic Challenges
At the heart of The CivicoLabs Innovation Method is the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The UN introduced the 17 SDGs — based on economic, social and environmental dimensions — in 2016 to help the world understand what improvements were needed for a “better and sustainable future for all.”
To make these 17 SDGs more actionable and accessible to cities, we’ve translated them into seven grand civic challenges to unlock an all-sector partnership at the city level.
No poverty
Zero hunger
Good health and well-being
Quality education
Gender equality
Clean water and sanitation
Affordable and clean energy
Decent work and economic growth
Industry, innovation and Infrastructure
Reducing inequalities
Sustainable cities and communities
Responsible consumption and production
Climate action
Life below water
Life on land
Peace, justice and strong institutions
Partnerships to achieve the goal
