The 17 LOCA Goals: Sustainability in Action
Inspired by the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals from 2015, LOCA has developed its own interpretation called the 17 LOCA Goals. These goals reflect how sustainability and responsibility can be lived out practically in everyday life. Together with artist Lars Nørgård, these goals have even been transformed into artworks, making sustainability not just a concept but a visible, inspiring part of the LOCA experience.
