The United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) were constructed to address global crises including poverty, inequality, climate, environmental degradation, and peace and justice. Daisaku Ikeda's 2022 Peace Proposal also addresses the most pressing global issues. Selecting an area of interest from the Peace Proposal and framing it within the SDGs helps you select the Wikipedia article you will edit. Through your contribution of knowledge to the Wikipedia audience, you accelerate progress on the SDGs.

In assigned small groups, conduct a substantive Wikipedia article edit to an important SDG/Peace Proposal-related article.

Now's the time to revisit your text and refine your work. You may do more research and find missing information; rewrite the lead section to represent all major points; reorganize the text to communicate the information better; or add images and other media.
