All SDGs

Design for Sustainability programme - Gaia Education

This online programme provides students with whole systems design skills, analytical abilities and a wide range of methods to support the redesign of the human presence on Earth from degenerative to regenerative trends one local community and bioregion at a time.  The programme is divided in four interconnected dimensions: Social Design, Ecological Design, Economic Design and Worldview, each conducted in an eight-week period, which can be taken individually or as a whole course.

SDG Flashcards

Convinced that the SDGs should not be separated from the global community who forged them, Gaia Education, in partnership with UNESCO GAP Secretariat, developed an educational tool – the SDGs Flashcards – and the associated Training for Multipliers to ensure their effective use. The Flashcards have been translated in to five official UN languages and support the vitally important conversations on how to implement the 17 SDGs and their 169 targets at the local and regional scale, in ways that are carefully adapted to the biocultural uniqueness of each location.

The Human Rights Guide to the SDGs

The Human Rights Guide to the SDGs is a searchable database illustrating the links between the Sustainable Development Goals and more than 70 international human rights instruments, labour standards, and environmental agreements. The Guide illustrates the human rights anchorage of the 2030 Agenda and is an essential tool to develop a rights-based approach to sustainable development implementation, monitoring, and reporting.

Engagement of Organisations of Persons with Disabilities (DPO) in the VNR Process

This toolkit has been developed as an exploratory and interactive tool for organizations of persons with disabilities (DPOs) on the monitoring mechanisms of the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) implementation, called Voluntary National Reviews. The toolkit aims to provide step-by-step guidance, ideas, suggestions and templates for building successful advocacy campaigns and strategies to participate in the monitoring mechanisms of the Sustainable Development Goals.

NDC-SDG Connections

The German Development Institute (DIE) and the Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI) launched a tool that highlights synergies between the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) submitted by countries under the Paris Agreement on climate change.

AtKisson Accelerator Toolkit

The Accelerator is designed to support educators and change-makers of all kinds who are working to advance sustainability learning and action. While the format and visual look of the package has evolved over time (see below), the core tools have remained essentially the same. Lead designer Alan AtKisson likens them to a “Microsoft Office for running sustainability processes — except they’re not computer apps, so they don’t crash.”
