The SDG Moment serves to place an annual spotlight on the Sustainable Development Goals. It takes place as the world faces a deepening cost-of-living crisis that carries huge implications for the advancement of the SDGs, especially in developing countries.
This event sets the scene and leads into the Transforming Education Summit, featuring the SDG “To-Do List” for the world presented by the Secretary-General’s SDG Advocates Co-Chairs, a stocktaking moment and SDG Dialogues focused on solutions for inequalities and climate and environmental challenges.
Convened by the UN Secretary-General António Guterres, the Moment provides world leaders with a platform to showcase the bold actions and solutions that are needed to set the world on course towards achieving the SDGs. The SDG Moment event is expected to build the momentum as we head towards the SDG Summit in 2023.
What: The annual SDG Moment kicks off UN High-Level Week (20-23 September) as world leaders gather at the UN Headquarters in New York to highlight transformative solutions for tackling the multiple crises that have unleashed vicious cycles of poverty, hunger and inequalities worldwide. In these challenging times, the SDG Moment will seek to urgently scale up ambition and solidarity to advance the successful implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals – the World’s To Do List as the best pathway for a safer, healthier and more inclusive future.
Why: The combined crises—the war in Ukraine, the COVID-19 pandemic, rising food insecurity and a debilitating economy—could lead to an additional 75 to 95 million people living in extreme poverty in 2022. As called for in the UN Secretary-General’s Our Common Agenda, a renewed commitment to international cooperation and global solidarity is needed to set the SDGs back on track. With time running out as we approach the midpoint in 2023 of SDG implementation, this year’s SDG Moment is a major turning point for accelerating meaningful SDG action.
The SDG Moment, a 90-minute event, will be held in person in the UN General Assembly Hall. The event, to be convened by the Secretary-General, will have present Heads of State and Government, including SDG Advocate Co-Chairs Mia Mottley, Prime Minister of Barbados and Justin Trudeau, Prime Minister of Canada (video message). High-profile special guests SDG Advocates K-pop band BLACKPINK (video message), Actor, Producer, Author, Activist and UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador Priyanka Chopra Jonas, UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador Nomzamo Mbatha, Poet, Activist and UNICEF supporter Amanda Gorman and Singer-Songwriter Judith Hill will also participate. In addition to the immersive projections in the UN General Assembly Hall that will stress the SDGs as our To-Do List for a better future for all, there will be SDG Dialogues on Solutions to Inequalities and Climate solutions as well as musical performances, a poem recital and an SDG call to action.

The zionist argument to justify Israel's present occupation of Arab Palestine has no intelligent or legal basis in history.

Yes 2015 was a turning point
SDGs are the most important driving force to reach a better world for all. How can we make them work even better? How can we celebrate progress? How can we involve more people on this planet? Have we already reached a stage where in every country in the world, each of the SDGs are assigned to a single person, a minister or a prime-minister, in a transparant way? That would help holding people responsible for achieving these goals. Further more, each year, the progress made on SDGs, should be communicated in parallel by each country in the world, in one big SDG-show, designed in such a way, that billions of viewers in each country can follow the event on their screens and mobile phones. Presenter should be the head of state of each country. Each person, responsible for one or more SDGs, should explain, which particular 2 measures were particularly successful last year and which measures will contribute in the coming year. Transmission should be on all social media in parallel. Perhaps linking such an event to the opening or closing to a large sports event, like World Football Championship, would help attract viewers.
