My World 2030 is a global survey led by the United Nations and its partners around the world. The survey data is collected in order to get a picture of the progress on the Sustainable Development Goals over a period of fifteen years and to comprehend the public understanding and perception of the Goals.
Each participant is asked to choose 6 priorities among 17 Sustainable Development Goals and assess the progress in achieving the chosen goals within the past 12 months. The data of this survey will help to track the progress of each country and region and present it to world leaders and decision-makers.
The survey data are open for everyone at http://data.myworld2030.org.
The UN is conducting My World survey for the second time. 10 million people have participated in the first survey in 2015. Based on the received data 17 Sustainable Development Goals were developed. My World 2030 is designed to help track progress in achieving SDG’s throughout the last 15 years.
Every voice counts! Take the survey, learn more about 17 Sustainable Development Goals, tell the world about 6 that are a priority for you and what progress you have seen in their implementation in your region.
You can also help by sharing information about the My World 2030 survey in your social networks.

From September 24 to November 20, 2018, the educational institutions of Belarus will implement the project “The Greatest Lesson in the World” which aims to familiarize the younger generation with Sustainable Development Goals.
Children will learn about the simplest steps that will help to make our planet cleaner, cities — more sustainable, and people — more understanding and tolerant. Everyone can become a Keeper of the Goals and learn how to make our world a better place.
Take part in the “Greatest Lesson in the World” along with your class or study group! Just one lesson will help to understand what each of us (adults and children alike) can do to make the Sustainable Development Goals a reality. The necessary materials can be found on the website of the UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF) in the Republic of Belarus or on the global site.
The initiative is supported by the National Coordinator for the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Belarus and the Ministry of Education of the Republic of Belarus. Assistance in the implementation of this project is provided by UNICEF, UNDP, and UNFPA in the Republic of Belarus.
“The biggest lesson in the world” is developed by the nonprofit organization “Project Everyone” in partnership with UNICEF, UNESCO and is conducted with the involvement of public organizations, private businesses, and opinion leaders. More than 130 countries have already joined the project, and millions of children have learned about the goals of sustainable development.
Don’t forget to register your lesson so that the whole world knows about it.
