Global Alliance Advocates for Responsible Communication at United Nations, Supporting its Inclusion as the New 18th Sustainable Development Goal (SDG)

Open dialogue about global challenges, such as climate change, poverty reduction and democracy.
-
Consider dialogue as the most powerful weapon.
-
Freedom of opinion and press.
-
Ethical approach to organizational and institutional communications, based on facts.
-
Fight against fake news, misinformation and any kind of propaganda.
-
Educate individuals to use their ‘communication powers’, especially through social media responsibly.
-
Public and private support for rigorous and accountable journalism.
-
Support diversity, inclusion and gender equality.
-
Empathy to those who suffer from hunger, poverty, lack of opportunities, war, forced migrations and all discriminations.
-
Positive and inclusive language.
