with Afke Bootsman

Head of Resident Coordinator's

Office/Senior Strategic Planner for the
United Nations system in Indonesia
What drives you?

I want to
be a positive force
to reform the United
Nations into a body that
is needed today, more
than ever, that is effective
and efficient.
How does good
communication
support the
sustainability
agenda?
Too often, people working
on the sustainability
agenda talk to themselves
in an echo chamber.
With very effective and
innovative communication
and design,
we can reach people
who do not know about
the SDGs.
How do you transfer
your knowledge
between projects?

You grow as a person;

you grow as a professional.
I also have to say that I
have faced many
challenges as well - and
from challenges, you
learn a lot.
Can the
sustainability goals
be met by 2030?
We are not where we want
to be with the SDGs - only
15% are on track, which
means 85% are regressed
or stalled, which is very
worrying. We know the
technologies are there, and
we owe it to future
generations
to do what we can.
