Generation17

A partnership from Samsung and UNDP to magnify the voices, stories and ingenuity of young leaders helping achieve the Global Goals

Why we’re rallying a generation.

The 17 Sustainable Development Goals – the Global Goals – are an urgent call for action around the world to protect vulnerable populations and the planet by 2030. This effort needs the determination and vision of young people. It needs their spirit of innovation and their ability to break down barriers. It needs their sense of urgency.

Meet the visionaries, advocates and entrepreneurs building a better future.

Generation17 supports a group of inspiring young leaders ages 18 to 32 dedicated to innovating for humanity and mobilizing global communities.

Generation17 Cohort 3

With less than 10 years to achieve the Global Goals, we have to act.

Established by the United Nations in 2015, the Global Goals address pressing global challenges, including poverty, inequality, climate change, environmental degradation, and peace and justice. The goals provide a framework for world leaders to set the global agenda and create a better world by 2030.

The Samsung Global Goals app empowers everyone to make a difference.

As a generation of young leaders around the world takes action, the Samsung Global Goals app can be the first step in joining their efforts – making it easier than ever to have an impact. Installed on more than 100 million Galaxy smartphones worldwide, Galaxy users can learn about the challenges of and interconnectivity across the Goals.
