Niantic & The Pokémon Company International Partner with Project Everyone to Raise Awareness of the Global Goals for Sustainable Development at the World Economic Forum in Davos - Seite 2

Richard Curtis, film maker, UN SDG Advocate and founder of Project Everyone said:
"I believe we can be the generation to see the fantastic ambitions of the Global Goals achieved. But in order to achieve this it will require awareness, multi-sector actions and unusual and lively partnerships. This partnership with Niantic & The Pokémon Company International with the massively popular game, Pokémon GO, is a great way of making sure the Goals are front of mind with the Davos attendees, who are such an important constituency in delivering on the promise of the Goals. And it's excellent to be able to report back home on a partnership my sons all understand and are excited by - their generation is also so crucial to the achievement of the SDGs."

John Hanke, founder of Niantic, the publisher and developer of Pokémon GO said: "We've always wanted both Niantic and Pokémon GO to be a force for good in the world. We are extremely proud to partner with the Global Goals campaign to help remind people of how critically important the Goals are while hopefully keeping the world's leaders focused on delivering on them."

Tsunekazu Ishihara, president of The Pokémon Company said: "With Pokémon GO, the world is our playground. And when the world is your playground, you want it to be as beautiful and safe as possible. That's why we're delighted to play a part in driving the awareness of the Global Goals."

David Nabarro, Special Adviser to the UN Secretary General on Sustainable Development and Climate Change:  "It's brilliant to see Pokémon GO joining the fight to achieve a sustainable world by 2030 and taking the

game to Davos. Business and finance are the change agents that will spur innovation, unleash investments and see the SDGs achieved." 

David Jones, founder of You & Mr Jones said: "Our company's passion for social and environmental causes brought us into contact with the Project Everyone team. As an early investor in Niantic, it was a natural fit to bring them on board for this Pokémon GO activation during the World Economic Forum in Davos."
