SIXTH ANNIVERSARY OF THE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS
SIXTH ANNIVERSARY OF THE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS: TOGETHER FOR THE SDGS!
On September 25, we celebrate the fifth anniversary of the seventeen Sustainable Development Goals, a global framework for an inclusive, just and sustainable society in 2030.
Some good results have been achieved in the past five years, but we also realise that a lot still needs to be done in the next ten years. We need to step up a gear to reach the goals by 2030!
Together for the SDGs
Only together we can achieve our global goals. That is why the message for today is: “Together for the SDGs”.
The SDGs form our global compass to deal with these complex challenges in the coming years.
Only by working together, we can combat major global challenges, such as climate change, gender equality, biodiversity and fair work.
The SDGs form our global compass to deal with these complex challenges in the coming years.
SDG Action Day
On September 25, world leaders will (virtually) discuss the progress made on the SDGs during the General Assembly of the United Nations.
At the same time, the SDG Action Day will take place in the Netherlands, to show that the global goals are widely supported here and to realise the decade of action.
