A year ago,Watch Good Looking Girl Online the leaders of the world made a promise to the seven-and-a-half billion people on this planet that their lives -- our lives -- will get a lot better over the next 15 years. That promise was called the Sustainable Development Goals. It is a promise to save millions of lives, to stop injustice, and to protect our planet.
It is our job, as global citizens, to hold our leaders to that promise. To not let them delay, obfuscate or make excuses. Our leaders need to know that we are watching.
SEE ALSO: Social Good Summit 2016: How to take part in the #2030NOW conversationThat's why the Social Progress Imperative and Global Citizen have teamed up, and at the Social Good Summit on Monday we're launching the People's Report Cards (#peoplesreportcard) -- a way for every citizen to see the progress their country is making against these goals. It's the People'sReport Card, because it is a tool for citizens everywhere to check whether their leaders are living up to the promise of the Sustainable Development Goals.
Powered by the Social Progress Index -- a robust and comprehensive measure of the real quality of life across the world -- the People’s Report Cards offer a snapshot of whether everyone has those essential qualities of life to be safe, healthy and free.
It uses a scale from F to A, where F represents humanity at its worst and A represents achieving the Sustainable Development Goals -- humanity at its best. And not only have we produced a card for each country, but the results are combined into a score for the entire world. Today our world today scores a C+ overall -- a long-way off from achieving the ambitious targets the United Nations has set.
"Today our world today scores a C+ overall."
We will update these each year on the way to 2030, so that you, the people, can see how your country is performing. But the People’s Report Cards only work if they are shared with our leaders, so that those people in charge of taking the decisions that will shape our lives know that we are all holding them to account, and that we will not forget the promises they made in New York last year.
And, over the coming years, we are going to build up the People’s Report Cards so that citizens everywhere can give feedback on how their country, region or city is doing.
Check out how your country is doing, share the People’s Report Cards on social media and email them to your leaders.
Tell them in no uncertain terms that you want your country and our world to get to an A in 2030.
