Wikimedians for Sustainable Development

About[edit]
This page helps bring together Wikimedians engaged in matters of sustainable development.
Idea[edit]
The Wikimedians interested in sustainable development are spread geographically, and will benefit from a stronger sense of community and support. A user group creates an established Wikimedia community, but it will still remain a lightweight non-organization. This way, ideas can more easily be matured in collaboration and brought forward in the Wikimedia movement.
Objectives[edit]
The group will work on all topics related to sustainable development, including in particular the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (also known as the Global Goals). The user group is a cross-project, cross-language and transnational group that welcomes and supports contributions to all Wikimedia projects. We aim to partner with organizations that are actively working towards a world with sustainable development whether they are NGO's, academic institutions, public bodies of different levels or even perhaps companies in order to create, collect and curate knowledge.
