Our organization is UNEP and UNCCD accredited organization having special consultative status with UN ECOSOC. We are working to address SDG 12, 13, 14, 15 and 17. For a long time, we have been publishing 'Weekly World Climate Change News' and now we are extending our reach to also cover information on United Nation SDGs.

Through weekly news, the project aims to raise awareness about the Sustainable Development Goals and update the general public on the actions taken worldwide to reach the goals. It is crucial to raise awareness about the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for several reasons such as Mobilizing Action, Creating a Sense of Ownership, Fostering Accountability, Leveraging Resources and Shaping Policies and Priorities.

It is imperative to raise awareness about the Sustainable Development Goals in order to foster individual and collective responsibility, drive action, promote accountability, and mobilize resources toward the SDGs. Ultimately, it contributes to a more equitable, inclusive, and sustainable future for all by empowering individuals, shaping policies, and encouraging collaboration.
