A recent article by the Brookings Institute says that “getting the SDGs back on track will require nothing sort of a global collective effort- by all and for all”. The three ingredients it concludes are both missing and urgently needed are:

Action – “There is no shortage of action in the global system, but… global action is not directed intelligently toward global goals.”

Bonding – “there is a growing consensus that new approaches to coordinating SDG action globally must start locally, within bonded teams and communities.”

Ritual – “the SDGs need shared rituals to transform SDG actions within bonded communities into broadly-recognized norms and practices.”
