2024 UN SDG Action Awards Set to Honour Global Changemakers
The 2024 UN SDG Action Awards are set to take place on October 29, showcasing outstanding global efforts that are translating sustainable aspirations into real-world solutions.
The Awards are a signature programme run by the UN SSG Action Campaign that champions initiatives of individuals who are wielding the power of creativity and innovation to bring people closer to a more sustainable, equitable and peaceful world.
The Winners of the 2024 edition will be unveiled in a special Awards Ceremony, to be live-streamed on UN YouTube and UN WebTV, sdgactionawards.org/live, and broadcast in Italian on Rai, Italy’s national broadcaster and media partner of the Ceremony, reaching audiences worldwide.
As the world faces a confluence of challenges the UN SDG Action Awards strive to highlight an undeniable will to keep hope alive. Now, more than ever, we must double down on our efforts to accelerate progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the world’s blueprint for a fairer, more resilient and sustainable future for all.
“The Awards are a vital moment because they highlight stories of possibilities that can help light the way toward achieving the SDGs. They remind us that hope is not passive, it is an active force.” shared the Global Director of the UN SDG Action Campaign, Marina Ponti adding that “this is the spirit of the Pact for the Future – a global commitment to multilateral cooperation and solidarity for tackling the world’s most pressing challenge. We all have a role to play when it comes to our common future.”
This year’s Ceremony will also feature the HOPE IN ACTION art exhibition, a partnership between the UN SDG Action Campaign and HUG, a global community for artists. Having premiered in the UN General Assembly Hall during the UN high-level week this September in New York, the exhibition has traveled to Rome to showcase 25 artworks from over 1,500 global art submissions, expressing hope and urgent calls for action on critical issues such as climate change, gender equality, and peace.
