Week 35: Be big, bold and brave
The SDGs are not a 'nice to have' they're the only agreed blueprint for our survival that there is. The planet will adapt to climate change but many of the people furthest behind in society won’t be able to. We need a just transition for all.
Every job needs to be a climate job. Every pound you spend needs to make a difference. Every politician needs to champion the SDGs locally and globally. Everybody needs to make big, bold changes to their lifestyles.
World leaders are expected to make bold recommitment statements at the SDG Summit this GGW in NYC. What one thing can you commit to change, and make it happen?
Can you give up meat? Give up flying? Give up driving? What do you spend most of your money on - Spend better, e.g. moving your pension is 21x more powerful than going veggie or switching your energy provider (but they're both good options, too.)
What can you do right now to play your part?
Do that, and tell people.
