Description/achievement of initiative
A Global Grassroots Campaign that aims to create awareness, and advocacy for the prioritization of Sustainable Development. Specifically, this initiative seeks to route public and private investments towards the implementation of the SDGs.
Implementation methodologies
It is a global grassroots campaign to raise awareness about the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The aim: to create pressure on global leaders to prioritize Sustainable Development. This means, among many other things, investing more in peace, development, and human rights and less in special interests and unsustainable practices.
Arrangements for Capacity-Building and Technology Transfer
Our global society needs to shift substantive resources toward sustainable development if we are to ensure the well-being of people and planet by the year 2030. Through our partnership with the United Nations, we can house the trillions of dollars in funds needed to fuel this transition, and redirect every penny back to where it came from, but with a new focus on fulfilling the needs of each participating nation state.
Coordination mechanisms/governance structure
This initiative is coordinated by a team of volunteers that liase with the different partners and stakeholders in support of the Global Campaign. The governance structure is dependent from the NGO Committe on Sustainable Development - NY and overseen by UNEP's Lead Adviser on Partnerships and Outreach who also serves as an honoray adviser to the Committee.
