United Nations Sustainable Development Goals

The Visioneers demonstrate progress towards the achievement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals

The Visioneers Virtual Expo showcases outstanding people and projects making extraordinary contributions for good in the world. Their work is displayed in the Masterworks Emporium across several categories of human creativity. The UN 17 SDGs are at the heart of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development adopted by all Members of the United Nations in 2015, which provides a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future.

The SDGs are an urgent call for action by all countries in a global partnership. They recognize that ending poverty and other deprivations must go hand-in-hand with strategies that improve health and education, reduce inequality, and spur economic growth – all while tackling climate change and working to preserve our oceans and forests. The work of the Visioneers provides on-the-ground evidence of progress towards the achievement of the SDGs.

Visioneers Goal Progress

The Visioneers Goal Progress chart tracks the breadth of Visioneer activities providing meaningful progress towards fulfillment of the United Nations 17 Sustainable Development Goals. Each Visioneer, Project or Masterworks Entry may be tagged with an SDG with which it is aligned in a meaningful way. By this we mean that the person, project or entry is actively progressing on activities aligned with that particular goal.

Each bar in the graph below represents one SDG and is colour-coded to that SDG. Each colour shade in a single bar represents Visioneers, Projects, or Masterworks Entries, from darkest to lightest. A legend is provided to the right of the graph. Positioning your mouse directly over a segment of a bar will provide you with the exact number of entries that are tagged with that SDG.
