Partner for the SDGs
We facilitate multi-stakeholder engagement with the UNsystem to effect impactful global change.
We engage strategic partners, both inside and outside the UN, who are unified by their interest in and ability to drive progress on the Sustainable Development Goals- among them Member States, SDG Advocates, Women Rise network, media organizations, the creative community, philanthropies, the private sector, academic institutions, civil society organizations, women's leadership organizations, youth organizations, and UN system partners.
SDG Advocates
The SDG Advocates are 17 influential leaders appointed by the UN Secretary-General to promote the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Representing diverse sectors—from government and business to entertainment and activism—they use their global platforms to inspire action, influence policy, and mobilize support for a more sustainable and equitable world. Hosted by the UN Office for Partnerships, the Advocates meet annually with the Secretary-General to share insights and drive momentum for the 2030 Agenda.
Women Rise for All
Convened by the United Nations Deputy Secretary-General Amina Mohammed, “Women Rise for All†is an initiative that highlights the leadership of women in a time of multiple crises, while advancing progress towards the SDGs. Launched at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, “Women Rise for All†has rallied a growing community of women leaders to participate in global advocacy and scientific endeavors. The initiative has since evolved into a gateway, connecting leaders to different networks around the world and within the United Nations.
Mental Health in Humanitarian Settings
The Greentree Acceleration Plan is a bold new initiative to scale up mental health and psychosocial support in humanitarian settings worldwide – for affected communities as well as frontline workers. With more than 300 million people currently in need of humanitarian assistance and an estimated 66 million experiencing mental health conditions, the initiative marks a critical step toward embedding mental health support within global crisis response systems.
