Inner Development Goals

Sustainable Development Goals

As IDG Ambassadors, we acknowledge that our actions emerge from our Way of Being and inner development is the leverage point for seeing and accessing the wisdom needed to solve our most pressing problems.

Inner Development Goals are essential to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals set forth by the the United Nations.

Our work directly supports the following Sustainable Development Goals:

  • 3–Good Health and Well-Being

  • 5–Gender Equality

  • 16–Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions

  • 17–Partnerships for the Goals

Sustainable Development Goal 3: Good Health and Well-Being, represented by a green background with a white heart and a pulse line.

Inner Development Goals

The Inner Development Goals are “transformational skills for sustainable development” and consist of a framework of 23 skills within 5 developmental domains:

BEING, THINKING, RELATING, COLLABORATING, ACTING. The Inner Development Goals framework evolved out of the Sustainable Development Goals established by the United Nations in 2015. 

Our work at MōD builds being-based capacities directly related to all 23 IDG skills.

The image displays a chart with five vertical sections, each representing a different aspect of personal development: Being, Thinking, Relating, Collaborating, and Acting. Each section contains a list of related skills and qualities, with different background colors and icons at the top.
