Act for Our Common Future

Embrace the possible. That’s the call of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals, a blueprint for a better world. We don’t have to wait for the future we want—we can create it right now. Everyone can join the global movement for change.

ActNow is the United Nations campaign to inspire people to act for the Sustainable Development Goals.

The Goals can improve life for all of us. Cleaner air. Safer cities. Equality. Better jobs. These issues matter to everyone. But progress is too slow. We have to act, urgently, to accelerate changes that add up to better lives on a healthier planet.

What happens when millions of people act together for our common future? A lot. Join the campaign to learn more—and do more.

Choose your issue. Make an impact.

Act Now for our common future

Oceans are filling with plastic, nature is disappearing and heat, wildfires and floods are affecting millions of people. Mother Earth is clearly sending us a message that things must change. The good news: we can all do our part and help our planet heal. Get inspired by the actions of these climate activists and be part of the movement #ActNow.
