The SDG Media Summit returns to the United Nations Headquarters in New York City with the goal of engaging on the most pressing sustainability issues, activating around solutions, and celebrating projects and partnerships that are helping achieve the SDGs.
Just a few days before the 77th edition of the United Nations General Assembly, the summit will bring together up to 150 communications leaders, United Nations representatives, and media experts to highlight the power of media to address pressing global issues and achieve the SDGs.
Intersecting global crises are threatening the 17 SDGs. At the SDG Media Zone at UNGA 77, we are committed to highlighting the tireless efforts of the global community, and the voices and needs of the people we serve. We aim to reach and inspire audiences everywhere, including beyond the international community, through meaningful content collaborations with media organizations interested in focusing on solutions for a better world. Join us and be part of conversations on the transformation and solutions needed to achieve the SDGs.
