It’s 2016 and the era of the sustainable development goals is officially here. The world has just 15 years to achieve 17 enormously varied and ambitious targets, from ending malnutrition to ensuring access to adequate, safe and affordable housing for all.

As the real work begins, we’d like to hear from NGOs, agencies, governments, businesses and more about what you’re doing to take those initial steps towards achieving the SDGs. Whatever you’re up to, we want to hear from you.

Getting involved is really straightforward. Take a picture of what you’re up to, or tell us your story to help us build a picture of what’s going on where you are. At the end of the project we will use the most engaging examples.

You can share your photos, videos and experiences by clicking on the blue ‘Contribute’ button on this article. You can also use the GuardianWitness smartphone app or the Guardian app and search for ‘GuardianWitness assignments’. Or you can email guardianwitness@theguardian.com.
