What Are The Inner Development Goals?
What is the secret to transforming the world? Transformative leadership. And it can be nurtured in each and every one of us!
Will our contributions to this historic sustainable transition look different from each other? Of course - and that’s what will make it all possible!

What we need right now are people who are willing to connect with their inner compass, nurture their unique leadership, and use that guiding light to drive progress where it matters most.
And this, dear optimist, brings the spotlight back to you.
Introducing The Inner Development Goals
When I first got introduced to the Inner Development Goals I had already been immersed in the climate optimist work for many years. But seeing these guiding principles - these inner goals - created to complement the SDGs was the stamp of approval I’d been looking for:
This work is important.
Because what does it take to stay grounded, inspired, and optimistic through times of uncertainty and disruptive change?
If you haven’t asked yourself that question yet, it’s high time to sit down and reflect!
IDG is a non-profit organization and open source initiative for inner development. The framework for the Inner Development Goals is of fundamental importance in order to deliver the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The IDGs consist of five dimensions with associated qualities and skills.
BEING: Inner Compass | Self-awareness
THINKING: Complexity Awareness | Perspective Skills | Long-term Orientation and Visioning
RELATING: Appreciation | Connectedness | Humility | Empathy and Compassion
COLLABORATING: Mobilisation Skills
ACTING: Courage | Creativity | Optimism | Perseverance
Everything in The Climate Optimist Lab is aligned with and/or inspired by the IDGs, based on the principle that radical change is born in transformative leadership. So if you’re ready to transform your life, business, career, community (or the world) - this is your call to action!

With grounded optimism,
