How is your country reporting on the SDGs? With the UNDP/UN DESA interactive data visualization platform for Voluntary National Reviews (VNRs), people can search in and across national reports, compare countries and regions and learn more about how the SDGs are interlinked!

The visualization breaks down the Voluntary National Reviews and shows in an easily-digestible way how countries are reporting SDG progress, how SDGs are interlinked at the national level and how progress is reported over time. Users can also compare reports between countries, regions and Goals.

Explore the visualizations and let’s discuss how citizens and organizations can contribute in the follow-up and review process of the 2030 Agenda!

The Food Forever Experience is an international event series that gives a glimpse of the future of food. By working with innovative chefs to cook up delicious dishes using lesser known ingredients, we aim to “plant the seed” for a more diverse, nutritious and sustainable future. 

Come check out the exhibit in the lobby to learn more! And on Day 1 of the Festival, May 2nd, during the Networking Hour from 17:30 to 18:30pm, come join the Food Forever Experience and taste the future! Local, renowned chefs will be challenged to create delicious, diverse appetisers. The dishes will incorporate a range of ingredients currently on the margins of our food system and of local importance in the region such as wild cornel cherry, walnuts from the Rhine valley, wild peach, sweet clover and more. 

While the tasting is based in Bonn and features the talents of local chefs, the reach is global: We all eat three times a day. That’s three opportunities we have to decide which foods to consume, where to source them, and which establishments to support. Follow Food Forever.

The frames and goals are further connected by the orange bridge, which represents goal #5, gender equality. This is the heart of made in Sabae and being “glocal.”

These eyeglasses are made from “LIMEX,” a new, environmentally friendly material that comes from limestone. LIMEX doesn’t rely on water or wood as a material or component. Additionally, they can also “upcycle”as LIMEX transforming it to make other items. In Sabae, this means manufacturing items key to our local industry, such as eyeglasses and lacquerware.

Artwork is not just an object; it is also the experience and its contextual impact, how it is used and enjoyed, and how it raises questions and changes ways of thinking and living. The Solar Panel Art Series does exactly that, and it is a great example of how to open up the discussion about renewable energy and the unequal distribution of energy today. in addition, they not only make us think but also act. The Solar Panel Art Series decided to donate a part of their proceeds to Little Sun Foundation, in order to bring light and study time to children in rural Rwanda, and we are very grateful for this. Collectively, we can work towards global togetherness and a better future, including energy access for all.

Visualst wanted to bring these goals closer to the people and organizations who are responsible for creating the change, so we started in our own community in Mozambique. We are bringing together social practitioners, organizations, activists, artists and data scientists to blend the meaningful with the beautiful. The Art is Data project is a collective art project where SDG data is transformed into artwork because we believe that action is moved by empathy and by feeling, and art is the universal medium for emotion. Join us at the SDG Global Festival of Action to experience the art that has been co-created in Mozambique to localize and humanize the global goals!
