app-173692
The goal of the app is to let users
view and track the 17 goals the UN
has set to achieve by 2030
for Sustainable Development.
The extended visibility of UN goals
and missions also acts as a tactic
for the UN to keep its promises.
By allowing users to view live the
updates on their progress, people
are more informed as to what the
UN has achieved.
4. The UN promoted the launch of its new app during the Global
Citizens Festival in New York.
They also release a few short cartoon style videos featuring pop culture
events the partners hope will resonate with a younger audience.

app being “to give everyone, everywhere, the opportunity to share with
both their friends and world leaders, what they want and how they
themselves are taking an action to make it happen.”
