There is an immediate need for collective efforts from the global community. The world is headed into an exceptionally challenging time, and it will take all parties to overcome recently elevated threats and crises brought on by the pandemic and labor shortages. By themselves, people and their employers have a limited impact on achieving the UN’s 17 SDGs, but when we collaborate and coordinate efforts, the benefits are exponentially enhanced.

To do this, consider the following:

Identify the SDGs you and your organization can most effectively contribute toward. Is committing to a Net Zero campaign a possibility for your business? Can changing the way you advance people of color, different sexual orientation or those with disabilities bring greater equality to your labor market?
Develop a strategy for creating goals and the plans and processes for achieving them. Once you have focused on what is achievable, you’ll need clear KPIs and a roadmap to follow. This requires leadership support and rank-and-file buy-in. Even individually, consider how your daily actions can contribute to your SDGs.
Evangelizing successes to inspire others to act. Effective company and individual initiatives can serve to inspire those around you to take action. Create a plan for communicating your journey and achievements, whether through your brand, on social media or through professional networks.
Amplify your efforts through stakeholder collaboration. Create partnerships to help accelerate systemic changes that are needed to create a better society and livable planet.

With the world becoming increasingly polarized, it’s more important than ever for all stakeholders groups to rally around the UN SDGs. By reducing inequalities, enhancing economic opportunities, tackling climate change, and taking on other critical challenges, the global community can benefit their own citizens while growing closer together.
