Activating the 2030 Agenda
The Perception Change Project (PCP), launched by the Director-General in 2014 and collaborating with over 100 partners, showcases the relevance and impact of the UN’s work on everybody’s life worldwide and encourages public engagement in implementing the 2030 Agenda. Examples of PCP’s work include the mapping of International Geneva’s expertise on each of the 17 SDGs; the #YouNeedToKnow ad campaign in airports worldwide; and a range of publications, notably action booklets and children books, are just a few of the examples of its output.
UN Geneva is very closely involved in outreach activities with universities and other academic institutions to ensure that younger generations are properly trained in the language fields i.e. interpreters and translators. Investing in outreach to expand succession planning and transfer of specialized knowledge to future linguists is a priority to ensure the provision of high-quality services to Member States.
UN Geneva annual reports reflect its work on the SDGs. The 2016 edition is particularly a testament to the collective efforts of UN Geneva, its partners in Geneva and globally, for the SDG implementation. The report demonstrates that the Organization provides the support services needed for actors to share best practices, exchange ideas and take action on the 169 targets of the SDGs.
UN Geneva supports the Common Agenda of the Secretary General, a vision for the future of global cooperation. The Common Agenda calls for inclusive, networked, and effective multilateralism to better respond and deliver for the people and planet and to get the world back on track by turbocharging action on the Sustainable Development Goals. It outlines possible solutions to address the gaps and risks that have emerged since 2015, calling for a Summit of the Future that will be held in 2024.
