Teaching Note
Dear teachers,
Welcome to the 21-day challenge! This challenge programme was originally designed for
an online platform, but we have created it as an offline booklet for those interested like
yourself! Although we offer you a guideline on how to proceed with the 21-day challenge,
you can tailor the program for your course as you deem suitable. The program is very
flexible and adaptive: you can add your questions to the quizzes, come up with challenges
that better suit your class topic and organize challenge result delivery in a form of essay,
presentation, or discussion – or even students’ homework. Also, you can take more time
with SDGs that are more in line with what you are teaching.
Before the start of the 21-day challenge, a challenge leader(s) (teacher(s) in charge) should
be appointed to guide the program and facilitate the discussions/group work. Among
other responsibilities of the challenge leader can be instructing students on the Code of
Conduct during the program (for the Code of Conduct see next page), answering
students’ questions, opening discussions on topics of interest, making necessary
announcement, cheering, and motivating students with interim results, and calculating
the points collected by the students. We recommend having at least two challenge
leaders per class of 30 students.
The challenge should run for a total of 21-days with a pre-assessment quiz in the
beginning of the program, 1 SDG deep dive per day & a post assessment quiz in the end
of the program rounding up the knowledge learned throughout the 21-day challenge.
More information can be found in the Introduction section. that you can also use as a
guidance material for your students. It is important to decide beforehand how you are
going to present quizzes, challenges, and other materials to your students. You can read
it out, print it out or organize in applications like Kahoot (advisable for pre-assessment
quiz).
In the program, each SDG has associated challenges, to which participants can gain points
towards their participation. Note that not all challenges have the same number of points
associated. Simpler challenges may have 1 point, and more complex challenges may have
5 points. It is up to the participants to how many challenges a day they would like to
complete but make sure that they complete at least one challenge from each SDG.
Completion of the same challenge several times is allowed but the students should be
encouraged to attempt various challenges. Calculation of the points should be conducted
5
2018-1-HU01-KA202-047730
by the challenge leader in any way convenient. At the end of the 21-day challenge, the
participant with the most points is the sustainability winner! (We recommend naming the
top 5 participants.)
With the online version of the 21-day challenge participants were able to comment and
further discuss their actions with each other towards the challenge selected for the SDG
of the day. We highly recommend including a way for the participants to comment on,
present and share their result of the challenge with others as inspiration and
communication is a great addition to learning!
6
2018-1-HU01-KA202-047730
Code of Conduct
Please read and be familiar with the rules of conduct we accept during the 21-day
challenge.
During the 21-days challenge, we adopt the following rules:
1. Be active - we encourage every student to actively post, comment and initiate

discussions in all Forums or if it is being held in person, to do the same with those
participating with you in the challenge. You will see that in this way going through
the 21-day challenge will be more exciting and insightful!
2. Be positive - while posting and commenting on the Forums (or listening to your
fellow participants in person), bring your positive attitude and good vibes to every
entry you are making. Let's make these forums and in person atmosphere a
friendly place where we can share our experiences and develop sustainable habits
together.
3. Be constructive - in discussions, try to be a positive force, which promotes the
improvement and development of the ideas of others.
4. Be creative - when accomplishing the challenges, you can be as creative as you
wish with presenting your results. It can be a text to read or post if using a Forum,
describing your thoughts or experiences related to the challenge, a photo of the
results, or a video of how it was accomplished. Of course, it should be closely
related to the topic of the challenge but otherwise, feel free to create.
5. Enjoy the experience - it is the most important one. Enjoy the 21-day challenge
and help to make it an awesome experience to other learners!
Best of luck to you and your participants on your sustainable journey!

Introduction
Welcome to a 21-day challenge!
What is it about?
It takes about 21 days to change or adopt a habit. In this spirit, the 21-day challenge
educational module has been developed to provide insights and awareness on the
various sustainability-related topics derived from the 17 goals of the UN Agenda for 2030
Sustainable Development.
This innovative approach consists of 17 thematic videos, one for each of 17 Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs) and related challenges accomplishing which you can develop
sustainable habits, learn more about everyday sustainability and just have fun!
8
2018-1-HU01-KA202-047730
What are the SDGs?
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are the blueprint to achieve a better and more
sustainable future for all. They address the global challenges we face, including poverty,
inequality, climate change, environmental degradation, peace, and justice.
In the 21-day challenge program, SDGs will be gradually explored from SDG 1 to SDG 17
in the following order:
Ensure that you have enough time to explore available SDGs. Check the offered
challenges within the group before moving to the next one. Each group of SDGs will be
available weekly to participants.
How to go through the 21-day challenge?
Be prepared to spend at least 10 min per day going through the 21-day challenge. In and
of itself, the 21-day challenge is easy to follow. Look at the picture!
...and get a certificate!

2018-1-HU01-KA202-047730
Pre-assessment quiz
Go through the pre-assessment quiz to discover your level of sustainability awareness!
This quiz reveals the level of your knowledge before the 21-day challenge so no particular
score is required.
Watching the videos

You can watch the videos at any time and in any order. It is a unique material on
sustainable practices from all over Europe. And it will be helpful for you when you attempt
a post-assessment quiz.
Challenges
You can attempt any challenge from any SDG and as many times as you want. There is
no need to accomplish every single challenge though, do whatever fits better with your
lifestyle. We encourage you to attempt as many challenges as you can - it will provide
food for thought and make sure that you have sustainable habits gradually integrated
into your routines. Practice makes perfect!
After completing a challenge, you should post your results on the respective forum or as
instructed by the challenge leader. The result can come in the form of a picture, video, or
text. If not stated otherwise in the text of the challenge, it is up to you to decide how to
present your results. Be creative, take inspiration from other learners, comment on their
results! In this way, you will contribute to building a good Sustainability community,
inspire others to take up further challenges, and share their results more willingly.
For each meaningful post or result delivery commended by the challenge leader, you will
be assigned a certain number of points. As you can already guess, the person with the
highest number of points at the end of the 21-day challenge wins!
Post-assessment quiz
At the end of the 21-day challenge, take the quiz to see how much you know about
sustainability now. The quiz is quite difficult but if you watched the videos and completed
the challenges, you will be well-equipped for acing it! Aim to score at least 8 out of 10.
May the sustainable force be with you!
Questions?
If you have any questions during the 21-day challenge, please email your teaching staff.
So, we are set and ready for the challenges! Let's get started!
10
2018-1-HU01-KA202-047730
Pre-assessment Quiz
Please go through the quiz to see how many sustainability facts you already know and
how much is still out there to learn. Take the quiz before you start with actual challenges
just to have grounds for a later comparison between your initial knowledge on
sustainability and how much you have learned at the end of the 21-day challenge
programme.
In online mode: You have an unlimited number of attempts and there is no grade. So,
take your time, grab a cup of tea/coffee, and enjoy because there will be a lot of
interesting reading offered in answers!
In offline mode: As taking the quiz offline limits the attempts to one, it’s recommended
that after each question the right answer is viewed allowing students to mark their answer
right/wrong for their grade of the quiz. After each question and correct answer, the
teacher and students should discuss the question in hand and the explanation given.
Let’s dive into the questions!

SDG 1 – Work together to end the injustice of poverty
Globally, the number of people living in extreme poverty

declined from 36 percent in 1990 to 10 percent in 2015. But
the pace of change is decelerating and the COVID-19
crisis risks reversing decades of progress in the fight against
poverty. New research published by the UNU World
Institute for Development Economics Research warns that
the economic fallout from the global pandemic could
increase global poverty by as much as half a billion people,
or 8% of the total human population. This would be the first
time that poverty has increased globally in thirty years, since 1990.
More than 700 million people, or 10 percent of the world population, still live in extreme
poverty today, struggling to fulfill the most basic needs like health, education, and access
to water and sanitation, to name a few. The majority of people living on less than $1.90 a
day live in sub-Saharan Africa. Worldwide, the poverty rate in rural areas is 17.2 percent—
more than three times higher than in urban areas.
For those who work, having a job does not guarantee a decent living. In fact, 8 percent of
employed workers and their families worldwide lived in extreme poverty in 2018. One out
of five children live in extreme poverty. Ensuring social protection for all children and
other vulnerable groups is critical to reducing poverty.

SDG 2 – Ending Hunger Together – one helping at a time
After decades of steady decline, the number of people who

suffer from hunger – as measured by the prevalence of
undernourishment – began to slowly increase again in 2015.
Current estimates show that nearly 690 million people are
hungry, or 8.9 percent of the world population – up by 10
million people in one year and by nearly 60 million in five
years.
The world is not on track to achieve Zero Hunger by 2030.
If recent trends continue, the number of people affected by
hunger would surpass 840 million by 2030.
According to the World Food Programme, 135 million suffer from acute hunger largely
due to man-made conflicts, climate change and economic downturns. The COVID-19
pandemic could now double that number, putting an additional 130 million people at risk
of suffering acute hunger by the end of 2020.
With more than a quarter of a billion people potentially at the brink of starvation, swift
action needs to be taken to provide food and humanitarian relief to the most at-risk
regions.
At the same time, a profound change of global food and agriculture system is needed if
we are to nourish the more than 690 million people who are hungry today – and
the additional 2 billion people the world will have by 2050. Increasing agricultural
productivity and sustainable food production are crucial to help alleviate the perils of
hunger.

SDG 3 – Take Charge of your Health and Well-being

Ensuring healthy lives and promoting well-being at all ages
is essential to sustainable development. Currently, the world
is facing a global health crisis unlike any other — COVID-19
is spreading human suffering, destabilizing the global
economy, and upending the lives of billions of people
around the globe.
Before the pandemic, major progress was made in
improving the health of millions of people. Significant
strides were made in increasing life expectancy and
reducing some of the common killers associated with child and maternal mortality. But
more efforts are needed to fully eradicate a wide range of diseases and address many
different persistent and emerging health issues. By focusing on providing more efficient
funding of health systems, improved sanitation and hygiene, and increased access to
physicians, significant progress can be made in helping to save the lives of millions.
Health emergencies such as COVID-19 pose a global risk and have shown the critical need
for preparedness. The United Nations Development Programme highlighted huge
disparities in countries’ abilities to cope with and recover from the COVID-19 crisis. The
pandemic provides a watershed moment for the health emergency preparedness and for
investment in critical 21st-century public services.

SDG 4 – Better education for a better world
Education enables upward socioeconomic mobility and is a

key to escaping poverty. Over the past decade, major
progress was made towards increasing access to education
and school enrollment rates at all levels, particularly for girls.
Nevertheless, about 260 million children were still out of
school in 2018 — nearly one-fifth of the global population
in that age group. And more than half of all children and
adolescents worldwide are not meeting minimum
proficiency standards in reading and mathematics.
In 2020, as the COVID-19 pandemic spread across the globe, a majority of countries
announced the temporary closure of schools, impacting more than 91 per cent of students
worldwide. By April 2020, close to 1.6 billion children and youth were out of school. And
nearly 369 million children who rely on school meals needed to look to other sources for
daily nutrition.
Never before have so many children been out of school at the same time, disrupting
learning and upending lives, especially the most vulnerable and marginalised. The global
pandemic has far-reaching consequences that may jeopardize hard-won gains made in
improving global education.

SDG 5 – We cannot all succeed when half of us are held back
Gender equality is not only a fundamental human right, but

a necessary foundation for a peaceful, prosperous, and
sustainable world.
There has been progress over the last decades: More girls
are going to school, fewer girls are forced into early
marriage, more women are serving in parliament and
positions of leadership, and laws are being reformed to
advance gender equality.
Despite these gains, many challenges remain: discriminatory
laws and social norms remain pervasive, women continue to be underrepresented at all
levels of political leadership, and 1 in 5 women and girls between the ages of 15 and 49
report experiencing physical or sexual violence by an intimate partner within a 12-month
period.
The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic could reverse the limited progress that has been
made on gender equality and women’s rights. The coronavirus outbreak exacerbates
existing inequalities for women and girls across every sphere – from health and the
economy to security and social protection.

SDG 6 – Water is the most valuable asset, which should be

protected
Water and sanitation are at the core of sustainable

development, and the range of services they provide
underpin poverty reduction, economic growth, and
environmental sustainability. However, in recent decades
overexploitation, pollution, and climate change has led to
severe water stress in locales across the world.
Today, 2.2 billion people lack access to safely managed
drinking water, and more than 4.2 billion people lack safely
managed sanitation. Climate change is exacerbating the
situation, with increasing disasters such as floods and droughts. 80 percent of wastewater
in the world flows back into the ecosystem without being treated or reused, and 70
percent of the world’s natural wetland extent has been lost, including a significant loss of
freshwater species.
Sustainable Development Goal 6 (SDG 6) on water and sanitation, adopted by United
Nations Member States at the 2015 UN Summit as part of the 2030 Agenda for
Sustainable Development provides the blueprint for ensuring availability and sustainable
management of water and sanitation for all.

SDG 7 – Future powered by wind, solar and other sustainable

energy sources
Between 2000 and 2018, the number of people with

electricity increased from 78 to 90 percent and the numbers
without electricity dipped to 789 million. Yet as the
population continues to grow, so will the demand for cheap
energy, and an economy reliant on fossil fuels is creating
drastic changes to our climate.
Investing in solar, wind, and thermal power, improving
energy productivity and ensuring energy for all is vital if we
are to achieve SDG 7 by 2030. Expanding infrastructure and
upgrading technology to provide clean and more efficient energy in all countries will
encourage growth and help the environment.

SDG 8 – Decent work adds to human dignity, stability of the

family and peace in the community
Sustained and inclusive economic growth can drive

progress, create decent jobs for all and improve living
standards.
COVID-19 has disrupted billions of lives and endangered
the global economy. The International Monetary Fund (IMF)
expects a global recession as bad as or worse than in 2009.
As job losses escalate, the International Labor Organization
estimates that nearly half of the global workforce is at risk
of losing their livelihoods.
Even before the outbreak of COVID-19, one in five countries – home to billions of people
living in poverty – were likely to see per capita incomes stagnate or decline in 2020. Now,
the economic and financial shocks associated with COVID-19—such as disruptions to
industrial production, falling commodity prices, financial market volatility, and rising
insecurity—are derailing the already tepid economic growth and compounding
heightened risks from other factors.

SDG 9 – Industrialization is a driver of sustained prosperity
Inclusive and sustainable industrialization, together with

innovation and infrastructure, can unleash dynamic and
competitive economic forces that generate employment
and income. They play a key role in introducing and
promoting new technologies, facilitating international trade,
and enabling the efficient use of resources.
However, the world still has a long way to go to fully tap this
potential. Least developed countries, in particular, need to
accelerate the development of their manufacturing sector if
they are to meet the 2030 target, and scale up investment in scientific research and
innovation.
Global manufacturing growth has been steadily declining, even before the outbreak of
the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic is hitting manufacturing industries hard and
causing disruptions in global value chains and the supply of products.
The coronavirus pandemic has revealed the urgent need for resilient infrastructure. The
Asian Development Bank notes that critical infrastructure in the region remains far from
adequate in many countries, despite the rapid economic growth and development the
region has experienced over the past decade. The Economic and Social Survey of Asia
and the Pacific highlights that making infrastructure resilient to disasters and climate
change will require an additional investment of $434 billion per year. This sum may need
to be even greater in some subregions, such as the Pacific small island developing states.

SDG 10 – Economic growth does not mean anything if it leaves

people out
Inequality within and among countries is a persistent cause

for concern. Despite some positive signs toward reducing
inequality in some dimensions, such as reducing relative
income inequality in some countries and preferential trade
status benefiting lower-income countries, inequality still
persists.
COVID-19 has deepened existing inequalities, hitting the
poorest and most vulnerable communities the hardest. It
has put a spotlight on economic inequalities and fragile
social safety nets that leave vulnerable communities to bear the brunt of the crisis. At the
same time, social, political, and economic inequalities have amplified the impacts of the
pandemic.
On the economic front, the COVID-19 pandemic has significantly increased global
unemployment and dramatically slashed workers’ incomes.
COVID-19 also puts at risk the limited progress that has been made on gender equality
and women’s rights over the past decades. Across every sphere, from health to the
economy, security to social protection, the impacts of COVID-19 are exacerbated for
women and girls simply by virtue of their sex.
Inequalities are also deepening for vulnerable populations in countries with weaker health
systems and those facing existing humanitarian crises. Refugees and migrants, as well as
indigenous peoples, older persons, people with disabilities and children are particularly
at risk of being left behind. And hate speech targeting vulnerable groups is rising.

SDG 11 – A good city is like a good party. People do not want

to leave early
The world is becoming increasingly urbanized. Since 2007,

more than half the world’s population has been living in
cities, and that share is projected to rise to 60 per cent by
2030.
Cities and metropolitan areas are powerhouses of
economic growth—contributing about 60 per cent of
global GDP. However, they also account for about 70 per
cent of global carbon emissions and over 60 per cent of
resource use.
Rapid urbanization is resulting in a growing number of slum dwellers, inadequate and
overburdened infrastructure, and services (such as waste collection and water and
sanitation systems, roads and transport), worsening air pollution and unplanned urban
sprawl.
The impact of COVID-19 will be most devastating in poor and densely populated urban
areas, especially for the one billion people living in informal settlements and slums
worldwide, where overcrowding also makes it difficult to follow recommended measures
such as social distancing and self-isolation.
The UN food agency, FAO, warned that hunger and fatalities could rise significantly in
urban areas, without measures to ensure that poor and vulnerable residents have access
to food.

SDG 12 – Every time you spend money, you’re casting a vote for

environment and resources in a way that continues to have
destructive impacts on the planet.
Economic and social progress over the last century has
been accompanied by environmental degradation that is
endangering the very systems on which our future
development — indeed, our very survival — depends.
The COVID-19 pandemic offers countries an opportunity to
build recovery plans that will reverse current trends and change our consumption and
production patterns towards a more sustainable future.
Sustainable consumption and production are about doing more and better with less. It is
also about decoupling economic growth from environmental degradation, increasing
resource efficiency, and promoting sustainable lifestyles.
Sustainable consumption and production can also contribute substantially to poverty
alleviation and the transition towards low-carbon and green economies.

SDG 13 – We have a single mission: to protect the planet for the

next generation
2019 was the second warmest year on record and the end
of the warmest decade (2010- 2019) ever recorded.
Carbon dioxide (CO2) levels and other greenhouse gases in
the atmosphere rose to new records in 2019.
Climate change is affecting every country on every
continent. It is disrupting national economies and affecting
lives. Weather patterns are changing, sea levels are rising,
and weather events are becoming more extreme.
Although greenhouse gas emissions are projected to drop about 6 percent in 2020 due
to travel bans and economic slowdowns resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, this
improvement is only temporary. Climate change is not on pause. Once the global
economy begins to recover from the pandemic, emissions are expected to return to
higher levels.
Saving lives and livelihoods requires urgent action to address both the pandemic and the
climate emergency.
The Paris Agreement, adopted in 2015, aims to strengthen the global response to the
threat of climate change by keeping a global temperature rise this century well below 2
degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. The agreement also aims to strengthen the
ability of countries to deal with the impacts of climate change, through appropriate
financial flows, a new technology framework and an enhanced capacity-building
framework.

SDG 14 – Life on Earth depends on the life of an ocean
The ocean drives global systems that make the Earth

habitable for humankind. Our rainwater, drinking water,
weather, climate, coastlines, much of our food, and even the
oxygen in the air we breathe, are all ultimately provided and
regulated by the sea.
Careful management of this essential global resource is a
key feature of a sustainable future. However, at the current
time, there is a continuous deterioration of coastal waters
owing to pollution, and ocean acidification is having an
adversarial effect on the functioning of ecosystems and biodiversity. This is also negatively
impacting small scale fisheries.
Saving our ocean must remain a priority. Marine biodiversity is critical to the health of
people and our planet. Marine protected areas need to be effectively managed and well-
resourced and regulations need to be put in place to reduce overfishing, marine pollution,
and ocean acidification.

SDG 15 – The Earth is a fine place and worth fighting for
Nature is critical to our survival: nature provides us with our

oxygen, regulates our weather patterns, pollinates our
crops, produces our food, feed, and fibre. But it is under
increasing stress. Human activity has altered almost 75 per
cent of the earth’s surface, squeezing wildlife and nature
into an ever-smaller corner of the planet.
Around 1 million animal and plant species are threatened
with extinction – many within decades – according to the
2019 Global Assessment Report on Biodiversity and
Ecosystem Service. The report called for transformative changes to restore and protect
nature. It found that the health of ecosystems on which we and all other species depend
is deteriorating more rapidly than ever, affecting the very foundations of our economies,
livelihoods, food security, health, and quality of life worldwide.
Deforestation and desertification – caused by human activities and climate change – pose
major challenges to sustainable development and have affected the lives and livelihoods
of millions of people. Forests are vitally important for sustaining life on Earth and play a
major role in the fight against climate change. And investing in land restoration is critical
for improving livelihoods, reducing vulnerabilities, and reducing risks for the economy.
The health of our planet also plays an important role in the emergence of zoonotic
diseases, i.e., diseases that are transmissible between animals and humans. As we
continue to encroach on fragile ecosystems, we bring humans into ever-greater contact
with wildlife, enabling pathogens in wildlife to spill over to livestock and humans,
increasing the risk of disease emergence and amplification.

SDG 16 – Without justice, there can be no peace
Conflict, insecurity, weak institutions and limited access to

justice remain a great threat to sustainable development.
The number of people fleeing war, persecution and conflict
exceeded 70 million in 2018, the highest level recorded by
the UN refugee agency (UNHCR) in almost 70 years.
In 2019, the United Nations tracked 357 killings and 30
enforced disappearances of human rights defenders,
journalists, and trade unionists in 47 countries.
And the births of around one in four children under age 5 worldwide are never officially

rights and for access to justice and social services.

SDG 17 – Together, we are stronger
The SDGs can only be realized with strong global

partnerships and cooperation.
A successful development agenda requires inclusive
partnerships — at the global, regional, national, and local
levels — built upon principles and values, and upon a
shared vision and shared goals placing people and the
planet at the centre.
Many countries require Official Development Assistance to
encourage growth and trade. Yet, aid levels are falling, and
donor countries have not lived up to their pledge to ramp up development finance.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the global economy is projected to contract sharply, by
3 per cent, in 2020, experiencing its worst recession since the Great Depression.
Strong international cooperation is needed now more than ever to ensure that countries
have the means to recover from the pandemic, build back better and achieve the
Sustainable Development Goals.
