The UN SDG Action Awards is a signature program of the UN SDG Action Campaign, seeking initiatives and individuals that mobilize, inspire, and connect people to drive positive change. Over 3,000 applications and nominations are received annually from 150+ countries. Following the technical review process that identifies the finalists, a high-level Panel of Judges consisting of leaders across sectors and geographies select the winners.
At the midpoint of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the world stands at a crucial moment where transformation is possible and every action matters. Imagination carries great power. What we can imagine, we can make happen. By tapping into our creativity and diversity anchored in trust and solidarity, we can work together to create a future in which we thrive in harmony with the planet. This is why the UN SDG Action Campaign seeks initiatives and individuals that make a difference on the ground and Flip the Script, turning fear into hope, vulnerability into resilience, war into peace, and division into unity. Today’s challenges transcend any one person, government or single entity. That does not mean we are powerless as individuals— but only that we are more powerful together.
