In 2015 the United Nations launched 17 Sustainable Development Goals – a set of 17 aspirational global goals intending to ignite the public into contributing in whatever way they can towards providing a better future for every human being on the planet. The mobile industry’s contribution to these goals is in providing platforms through which people can connect to mobile services and products that will enhance their lives.
Working alongside the GSMA and Tenacity Works, Cobi Interactive developed an app to publicise the Goals and encourage users to get involved and create actions around each of the 17 goals. The app was launched on stage during the Social Good Summit at UN Week by Cristina Gallach, Under-Secretary-General for Communications and Public Information.
