The Inner Development Goals (IDG) offer a framework of five dimensions and 23 inner qualities to support sustainable development. BLOXHUB, in collaboration with the IDG Copenhagen Leadership Development Hub, invites you to join a series of learning labs. These sessions will allow you to delve into the Inner Development Goals and discover how to incorporate these inner qualities into your daily life and work.

The history behind the Inner Development Goals

In 2015, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) gave us a comprehensive plan for a sustainable world by 2030. Although we have accumulated much knowledge about the climate crisis, poverty, public health, and other social ills communicated in the SDGs, we seem to lack the inner capacity to deal with our increasingly complex environment and challenges.

What has been largely missing from current strategies is a keen insight into which abilities, qualities or skills we need to develop among individuals, groups and organisations that play crucial roles in working to fulfil the SDGs.

Fortunately, modern research shows that the inner abilities we require to complement and accelerate our external approaches can be developed. This was the starting point for the Inner Development Goals (IDG) initiative.

Over a number of years, many different stakeholderes set out on a learning journey together. On 12th of May 2021 the IDG framework, co-created by 1000+ scientists, experts and HR & Sustainability professionals was made available open source for the world.

The Inner Development Goals is a not-for-profit and open-source initiative. The initiative is acknowledged by the UN as a substantial contribution to delivering on the Sustainable Development Goals and sustainable development more broadly.  (Source: Inner Development Goals)
