2015 was a remarkable year for humanity and the planet. People, businesses and governments came together to agree a global climate deal and a set of Global Goals that give us a path to end poverty, combat climate change, and fight injustice and inequality.
In 2016, we turn our attention to action.
We asked a number of game changers in the fields of entertainment, business, non-profits, architecture and sustainability how they are taking action to reach the Global Goals.
As we share their answers over the next few weeks, we’d love to hear what you’re doing too. Tell us how you’re taking action using the hashtag #collectiveaction.
