30 x 30 x 30

Human rights need innovation and innovation needs human rights.

Get involved in the 30 x 30 x 30 initiative

30 x 30 x 30 is an ambitious initiative to deliver 30 human rights innovations for 30 communities by 2030, aligned with the 30 articles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

Why now? Traditional approaches to human rights are no longer sufficient to address complex, interconnected global challenges.

What is 30 x 30 x 30? A call to co-create, design, develop and deploy innovations by a coalition of partners as the pathway to success — delivering tools, platforms and services where technology advances human dignity, and human rights guide technological progress.

How does it work?

A platform for collective action and innovation.

30x30x30 brings together the “3Cs” a trusted circle of countries, companies and communities working to co-create human rights innovations.

By uniting these stakeholders, 30x30x30 seeks to harness technology, data, and collaboration to address complex global challenges, safeguard rights, and drive change.

Our ambition

Innovation for human rights.

Human rights and innovation must converge, or both will fail to meet humanity’s needs. The stakes are high.

Only 15% of the Sustainable Development Goals are on track for 2030. Environmental displacement threatens to uproot 216 million people by 2050. The global cost of violence has reached a staggering $17.5trillion annually – $2,200 for every person on Earth.

These aren’t just statistics; they represent a fundamental failure to protect human dignity in an age of unprecedented technological capability.

Innovation can help in 4 key ways


1 HUMAN RIGHTS DATA FOR GOOD​

Every $1 invested in data systems generates an average return of $32, spread across sectors. Data fuels smarter decisions.

2 DIGITAL & FRONTIER TECH FOR THE HUMAN RIGHTS ECOSYSTEM​

Investing in innovation closes the digital divide and can empower communities globally to create their own solutions leveraging technology.

3 HUMAN RIGHTS FORESIGHT FOR ANTICIPATORY ACTION

Predictive analytics for conflict prevention save up to $70 billion annually in humanitarian aid and recovery costs.

4 HUMAN RIGHTS STATISTICS FOR TURBOCHARGED SDGs

Verified data is required build poly-crisis preparedness and protect humans and universal rights.  

Human rights and innovation are interdependent. To protect people and build a just, equitable future, we must integrate these forces — boldly and urgently.
