Check out this amazing tool: did you know countries regularly give each other advice on how to improve performance on #humanrights? They do. Here's a database of all the recommendations they've given each other, accepted, or not, organized by the #SDGs. https://t.co/cnbIYrBV8H

Can you picture a world without forests? 🏜️

Neither can we!

The #UNForests Forum works to protect and restore the world's 🌲🌳🌴🌿 for the current and future generations!

New York City leads the world on with the first-ever "Voluntary Local Review" of progress on the #SDGs. (Countries do "Voluntary National Reviews.") A great example, from the city where it all started.

Want to learn - & teach others - the popular song "We Love the SDGs"? We've got a new "karaoke" version, plus lyrics, music videos (also in Chinese & Japanese), sheet music, even a study guide. The video has 32,000 views and still growing! https://t.co/wVrIB0dPRy #SDGs #songs

When considering partnerships, don’t forget about the people who control the tax policies and budgets. For our students to have any hope of effecting large-scale change, they need to understand the mechanisms of government and power. #TeachSDGs #GlobalEdChat

[SDG14 @sdg14net]

Would you like to take over the #SDG14 Twitter account and website, and develop it further as a channel for news on ocean sustainability? We're looking for new management. Interested? Send us a message with an email address, and let's talk. https://t.co/mz6kOqzZhT

Accelerator is now included on UN ESCAP's "SDG Helpdesk" website as a recommended toolbox to support implementation of the #SDGs - thanks to the great work of my colleagues at @SystainabilityA who have spread them throughout E Asia https://t.co/tje4jgzZK3

Creative Japanese NGO uses "posters with a few extra words" to promote the #SDGs - maybe an idea that can spread to other countries? Read the article, via our partners Japan for Sustainability: https://t.co/CjeZsCLS2j @japanfs

Freedom of Information: Did you know the concept was invented in Sweden & Finland, over 250 years ago? That any citizen can request to look at any Swedish government document, at any time? Ever heard of Anders Chydenius? https://t.co/kaO2LMZlQk #SDG16 #history #transparency

[World Health Organization (WHO) @WHO]

WHO and @UNICEF today issued new ten-step guidance to increase support for #breastfeeding in health facilities that provide maternity and newborn services https://t.co/gyPz4IBaSy

Don't miss this amazing @guardian web gallery of underwater photography. Sample: This party of sperm whales is a tiny fraction of the hundreds (or thousands) that gather. Why? There is so much we do not know about the #ocean. #SDG14

Great new tool for monitoring progress towards the #SDGs! Indicators, data, charts. Easy to use, easy to understand. Check out the new SDG Tracker from @OurWorldInData. Clicking on each goal opens up a set of graphs, explanations, and sources. https://t.co/AqDcGwPXbd

Highly recommended: report highlighting and detailing the essential dimension of gender throughout the #SDGs. Gaps are huge. Action to advance women & girls provides extraordinary benefits that multiply through societies. Read, and act: https://t.co/FNfRzLZkeF #SDG5

"Localizing the SDGs" means making them real, and useful, at the city or regional level. Here are four cities that are leading the way. https://t.co/o4T49PmSJp
