SDG Action Week : #TurnItAround For People + Planet !
The Global Week to #Act4SDGs (17-28 September) aims to drive collective action, mobilizing key stakeholders from all sectors to drive change while reminding world leaders that people around the world are doing their part to accelerate progress on the SDGs.
Since it launched in 2017, the Global Week to #Act4SDGs has grown from strength to strength. Their mobilization ambition for 2021 is to inspire at least 100 million people to take individual and collective SDG action – with an overall target of mobilising 1 billion actions by 2030.
In 2020, more than 56 MILLION PEOPLE in 175 COUNTRIES were inspired and mobilised to take individual and collective action, while world leaders gathered virtually at the United Nations General Assembly for the first time. The campaign reached over 223 million people, through inspirational actions demonstrating our commitment to #TurnItAround and accelerate action towards the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

This year the week will feature a creative and open source individual action campaign, with strong social media and out of home manifestations capturing the imagination of new and younger audiences, many of whom are increasingly conscious of how they live, work, travel and consume. This year’s creative campaign will focus on putting the individual in the picture and driving home the message that there is hope beyond the pandemic and that we can all be part of the solution, inviting everyone to play their part in turning it around.
