Comics Uniting Nations is an independently financed project and is currently raising funds on Kickstarter.

Co-Founder of Comics Uniting Nations, Josh Elder explained:

We're working with creators and publishers from around the world to create a series of Public Service Announcements tied to the Global Goals.These single-page comics will be designed to engage and educate readers about the Global Goals, inspiring them to learn more and become heroes for change in their own communities.

We all live in the same world, and we are not doing a good enough job preserving it. We have to do better, and we have to try to show people that we will need to do this together. This project wants a better world, so it's really about making us all better people.
