Abstract. In 2019 the ICA commission on map production and geoinformation management, together with the research group of cartography of the Vienna University of Technology, some schools and the publisher Jobstmedia, have started an initiative to collect the generation´s view on SDG and its expression with maps. The aim is a continuous edited book atlas in print and digital form, which illustrates the range of perspectives on the SDGs and their motivations for establishing a sustainable world (http://sdggeneration.cartography.at/).

Summary
The UN sustainable development goals (SDG) become visible in many domains. Humans need to change their way of living in order to preserve environment and establish a better coexistence. A map drawing is one specific technique, which allows for the expression of thoughts (Pellier 2014) This access to cognitive imageries can be used by different ages, which is important for the long-term perspective of SDG. As result of the conference the global reflection about the balance of environmental protection and human development has been initiated These fifty years of reflection have had their disappointments, and instructive phases, which lead to a definition of seventeen goals with a set of controllable indicators. Not always agree to one direction of the SDGs, but the impact of humans on environment is obvious and further steps are taken These fifty years of SDG discussion concern several generations, spanning from expert-adults, students to children in the kindergarten. The younger generation even rises their voices against the systems in place, fuel the global and national discussions and lead to activities (De Moor et al 2020)
