Overview
Mission
Established in collaboration with the united nations, the global coalition on sustainability's single purpose is to unify and accelerate progress toward achieving the un's sustainable development goals by 2030.
What it reported doing in 2024
Sustainchain - in order to accelerate the world's progress toward meeting the 17 un's sustainable development goals (sdg) by 2030, the global coalition on sustainability developed the world's first sdg accelerator, sustainchain. Sustainchain uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to support system-wide change by sourcing sustainability solutions, finding supply chain partners and facilitating unified action. Sustainchain provides a platform for rapid exchange of information, new connections, new business models, and new solutions, bringing together a diverse array of organizations that don't usually encounter each other, including large corporations, smes, climate experts, investors, research outfits, social enterprises, and technology-based startups. Shortly after launch, seven action tracks aligned with the sdg pathways surfaced from leaders across the sustainchain community in vaccine equity, ocean energy, circularity, plastic waste, resilient infrastructure, esg investing, and regenerative agriculture. In 2024 additional major partnerships were forged to scale the network of networks including the sustainable development solutions network; as well as expansion of current partnershthe state university of New York (suny), and the alliance of excellence for research and innovation (aephoria).
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
