THE DECADE OF ACTION ON 17 UNITED NATIONS GOALS FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
BY MARY FRANCES L .
For more than four months , the AWC Hamburg participated in FAWCO ‘ s invitation to raise awareness of the UN SDGs . Did you notice ? Members took pictures in their gardens during lockdown and described their connections to one of the goals . We remarked on how doing this work , IN Hamburg and worldwide , is really nothing new to many of our members . The point is the connectedness , how each goal overlaps with others . We were on Instagram , Facebook , and our regularly emailed newsletter . Did you see any of your friends ? Do you feel more aware now ?
The awareness campaign came at the end of the first five years of the 15-year plan to improve life everywhere , for everyone . With 10 years left , it ‘ s time to focus on what we can actually do . We combined a celebration of Hamburg
Climate Week with the SDG milestone and held an online Filmfest . In the project MY World 360 , grassroots organ- izations around the world were supplied with equipment for filming , in augmented or virtual reality , in order to present their projects . We traveled ( safe from the coronavirus ) to Brazil , India ,
