Every year, the UN SDG Action Awards recognize individuals, civil society organizations, subnational governments, foundations, networks, private sector leaders who are advancing the global movement for the Sustainable Development Goals in the most transformative, impactful and innovative way.
To
meet the SDGs we need everyone to take action. We are calling for the
top mobilizers, storytellers, campaigners, connectors, visualizers,
includers and creatives across the world who are making this happen!

Projects that have been closely co-developed with the UN SDG Action Campaign or as part of a signed partnership agreement with the Campaign would not be considered eligible. If you are unsure whether you are eligible, please contact us.
