The Global Goals Yearbook

… is a publication in support of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the advancement of corporate sustainability globally. As a grassroots publication published under the auspices of the macondo foundation, a non-profit organization, it offers proactive and in-depth information on key sustainability issues and promotes unique and comprehensive knowledge-exchange and learning in the spirit of the SDGs and the Ten Principles of the Global Compact.

The publication helps to advance transparency, promotes the sharing of good practices, and, perhaps most significantly, gives a strong voice to the regional and global actors that are at the heart of the sustainability agenda.

Therefore, the Global Goals Yearbook includes good practice examples, positions, and opinions of both corporate and civil society participants, and it showcases different approaches for the implementation of the SDGs. In addition, a substantial editorial framework under the direction of the macondo foundation and the inclusion of an Editorial Board will highlight major sustainability trends and issues, thus placing the activities of Yearbook participants into a broader context.

Planet. People. Prosperity.

In 2015, 193 United Nations member countries adopted a new sustainable development agenda and global agreement on climate change. The new SDGs are unique, in that they call for action by all countries – poor, rich, and middle-income – to promote prosperity while protecting the planet. Now, we have an unprecedented opportunity to bring the world together to improve the lives of people everywhere through the 17 SDGs to improve our world.

Selected Authors

“Be the change that you wish to see in the world,” Mahatma Ghandi said. In a time of profound political, environmental, and social upheavals, examples are more important than ever. Most of us desire change, but there is only a small group of people who are acting to make that change happen. That makes them exceptional.

The Global Goals Yearbook is proud to have as authors the most prestigious and credible personalities from politics, civil society, and business. Among them are renowned sustainability experts as well as celebrities from Hollywood and Europe.
