The SDG Moment serves to place an annual spotlight on the Sustainable Development

Goals (SDGs) and is held at the beginning of the United Nation’s General Assembly’s High-Level Week.

Convened by the UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, the Moment provides world

leaders with a platform to showcase the bold plans, actions and solutions that are needed to end the COVID-19 pandemic and set the world on course towards achieving the SDGs. Held in advance of major meetings on food systems, climate, energy, jobs and social protection, the SDG Moment event is expected to build the momentum needed to deliver on the Decade of Action and Keep the Promise of the SDGs.
