18-26 September 2020
Each year millions of people across the world mobilize to take individual and collective action for people and the planet while world leaders meet at the UN General Assembly. The goal is to mark the anniversary of the adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals, the universal plan to create a better world by 2030, by ending poverty, fighting inequality and addressing the urgency of climate change.
The 2020 Global Week to Act4SDGs, on September 18-26, is a joint call to action for everyone– leaders, citizens, organizations and institutions- to commit to make this a Turning Point for People and Planet and put the Goals at the heart of their recovery plans, to use the next ten years to deliver all the Sustainable Development Goals, together.
HOW WILL YOU TAKE ACTION?
COMMUNICATE
RAISE AWARENESS OF SDG ISSUES AND GET INFORMED
Example actions: Host a ‘turning point’ dialogue, share key facts, host educational webinars, teach SDG lessons in schools and get creative through arts & culture.
ADVOCATE
RAISE YOUR VOICE AND HOLD LEADERS TO ACCOUNT
Example actions: Start a letter writing campaign, demonstrate (if you can do so safely), sign petitions, join campaigns by local NGOs and post demands on social media using your voice.
ACTIVATE
ORGANIZE AN (ONLINE) EVENT AND MOBILIZE YOUR COMMUNITY TO TAKE DIRECT ACTION FOR THE GOALS
Example Actions: Organize a beach or park clean up, tree planting drive, volunteer at your local foodbank or take part in community climate actions.
