THE SDG ADVOCATES
" We are at a pivotal moment. The choices we make now could put us on a path towards breakdown and a future of perpetual crisis; or breakthrough to a greener and safer world. The SDG Advocates use their considerable spheres of influence to reach new constituencies to act now and keep the promise of the Sustainable Development Goals for people and for the planet."
United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres
what are the sustainable development goals?
With a deadline of 2030 to build foundations for a thriving, peaceful, sustainable planet.
THE WORLD NEEDS A HALFTIME TALK
In 2015, 193 world leaders agreed on a bold game plan to improve the quality of life for all eight billion people in the world by 2030: the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Seven years in, we are at the halfway mark of the SDGs but we are down at Halftime with only 15% of the Goals on track. The good news is that any match is won in the second half. We have the knowledge and know-how to secure a life of dignity for all on a healthy planet. What we need now is to regroup, re-energize, recommit, and #ImagineWinning.
