UN SDG Action Awards Ceremony

Awards ceremony | Main stage

Host: UN SDG Action Campaign

In March 2020, a call went out to the international SDG Action Community, to people who inspire, mobilize and connect for the Goals, to tell us about transformative projects and approaches they are leading to accelerate action towards the Goals. The call was answered from every part of the globe.

This special event will recognize and celebrate the achievements of SDG Action Awards Finalists and Honourable Mentions – and shine a spotlight on bold and novel approaches with the power to be scaled and replicated at a time when we most need hope, creativity and collaboration. Winning initiatives will be announced live during the ceremony!
