Communicating the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations in Hungary

Absztrakt (kivonat)

The Sustainable Development Goals by the United Nations is a set of 17 goals humanity aims to reach by 2030. To reach these, the participation of all people on Earth is essentially needed – but do people know they should do something about them at all? I raised the following questions: how much Hungarian citizens know about the SDGs, and how the UN communicates these goals to the citizens of the country. To get an overview and a possible answer to these questions, I asked a group of Hungarian citizens how much they know about the SDGs and which goals they find important. Afterwards, I asked a UN representative, Bence Labos from the UNHCR about his professional experience in communicating the SDGs in Hungary. In this paper I am summarizing the results of the above-mentioned questions and aim to give possible solutions to improve communication about the SDGs
