Storytelling for a Sustainable World

Storytelling for the SDGs includes stories, data visualizations, and learning resources for the SDG framework and each specific Goal. It also hosts information on how to create data-driven stories through Esri’s ArcGIS StoryMaps, a web-based application for presenting narrative text alongside other multimedia content.

Sample stories demonstrate StoryMap features and explore U.S. and U.S. Territory data on SDG indicators, such as grocery access (SDG 1: No Poverty); America’s mental health crisis through a geographic lens (SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being); biodiversity importance in North America (SDG 15: Life on Land); and more.

This collection was created as a storytelling resource for the Global Councils on the SDGs.
