Bringing compassion into society at scale is humanity's next big challenge. How do we do so in a Capitalistic framework? Are Compassion and Capitalism at odds? The Sustainable Development Goals(SDGs) were identified, a small team of people quickly recognized that they could not be achieved without Inner Development Goals(IDGs) also being achieved. Compassion has an essential role to play in achieving the IDGs and the SDGs. --- The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
