Inner Development Goals Transformational skills for sustainable development

I am sure you are familiar with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals but have you heard of the Inner Development Goals?

This is how they are described.

In 2015, the Sustainable Development Goals gave us a comprehensive plan for a sustainable world by 2030.

The 17 goals cover a wide range of issues that involve people with different needs, values, and convictions.

There is a vision of what needs to happen, but progress along this vision has so far been disappointing.

We lack the inner capacity to deal with our increasingly complex environment and challenges.

Fortunately, modern research shows that the inner abilities we now all need can be developed.

This was the starting point for the ‘Inner Development Goals’ initiative.

The IDGs will provide an essential framework of transformative skills for sustainable development, a field-kit (in co-creation now) on how to develop these necessary skills – open source and free for all to use.

The current IDGs framework represents 5 categories and 23 skills and qualities which are especially crucial for leaders who address SDGs, but fundamentally for all of us!

It is the greatest possible accelerator to reach the Sustainable Development Goals and create a prosperous future for all humanity.

Maybe inner change can enable outer change.
