The Global Goals can only be met if we work together.
Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the global partnership for sustainable development. Goal 17 is about fostering global partnerships, international investments, and support to ensure innovative technological development, fair trade and market access, especially for developing countries. To build a better world, we need to be supportive, empathetic, inventive, passionate and, above all, cooperative.

Biskaabiiyaang shared Anishinaabemowin (Ojibwe language) resources and will also contribute stories, tools and research for metaverse learning as the project continues.
