Introduction: The IDGs initiative has co-creation at its center with ongoing development and input from more and more experts, scientists, practitioners and organizations around the world. In 2021 the first IDGs report was published that explains the background, method and framework with 5 dimensions and 23 transformational skills.

The current IDGs framework represents 5 dimensions and 23 skills and qualities which are especially crucial for all of us.  It is the greatest possible accelerator to reach the Sustainable Development Goals and create a prosperous future for all humanity.
