We love this piece from Ellen Brus Design! ✨ United Nations World Health Organization (WHO) #UNCovid19Brief #StopTheSpread #StaySafe #StayPositive
Systems surround us and shape the reality we are living in. Just like animals or plants in ecosystems, we as human beings are actors in for example social systems, influencing each other and connected structures. As Tim Lo Surdo (Democracy in Colour) said at the #SDGActionZone2021, for system change, everybody has their own role to play, otherwise, the whole system fails. To deliver the #SDGs, we need change on many levels to create more resilient, just, and innovative systems. So, let’s all take on our role, continue to form synergies and movements, and create sustainable systems that leave no one behind!
