Mapping What You Do to Sustainable Development Goals and Agenda 2030

AlterContacts is Global Think Tank for Sustainable Development in Special Consultative Status with the United Nations ECOSOC. Acting as a virtual laboratory for civil society ideas on sustainable development, Think Tank AlterContacts aims to be the driver of positive change contributing to the SDGs. We identify institutional voids or societal problems that are not addressed, bring attention to them, and incubate possible solutions locally that could be adopted globally.  We innovate by simplifying. We generate laser-focused ideas to address broad challenges and develop highly tailored solutions with systemic impact. Our initiatives are registered by the United Nations as SDG Partnerships. Our rapid scale-up strategy for social impact is recommended in the United Nations SDG Good Practices network as an "example to follow and replicate by others across the globe".
