    Hands up who knows about the Sustainable Development Goals?

    How many of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals can you actually name?

    In this short UN film, that’s the question asked to passers-by, and the hesitant answers make the point better than any statistic could. Adopted in 2015 as a universal roadmap to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure peace and prosperity for all, the SDGs remain more talked about by institutions than understood by the public: only 10% of French adults say they actually know what they are.

    With five years left on the 2030 Agenda timeline, that awareness gap is itself part of the challenge.
