BRINGING EVERYONE INTO THE GLOBAL AGENDA

Building Communities of Action

From hosting the first Global Goals Week outside of the UN headquarters to leading the largest SDG activation in the world, we have inspired and galvanised citizen engagement to drive positive change.

Inspiring 80,000 people to commit to climate action

During Global Goals Week at Expo 2020 Dubai, we launched the Change the World Challenge, a public-facing activation that engaged visitors to Expo from around the world to help build their understanding and to catalyse action for the SDGs.

To complete the challenge, participants were required to visit 17 activated spaces across the site and earn 19 stamps by walking through pavilion exhibitions related to the SDGs, answering thought-provoking and fact-based questions, and creating their own ’To Do’ notes in support of the Goals.

More than 80,000 visitors took part in the challenge throughout its 10-week activation, with participants contributing 57,053 to-dos in support of the SDGs, and close to 12,000 collecting all 19 stamps, a completion rate of approximately 15 per cent. The SDGs with the most commitments were SDGs 2: Zero Hunger; 4: Quality Education; and 7: Clean and Affordable Energy.
