The 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly marks a critical milestone in the global effort to accelerate progress towards the 17 Sustainable Development Goals. A decade after the adoption of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, millions of lives have improved through gains in health, education, energy, and digital connectivity. However, only 35 per cent of the targets are on track or making moderate progress and 18 per cent have regressed. The final five years to 2030 are a key moment to scale up action, accelerate change and keep the promise of the SDGs.
The UN Department of Global Communications will hold its flagship SDG Media Zone at UN Headquarters in New York during the High-level week 22-26 September, with impactful in-depth interviews and dialogues on global issues that matter to people everywhere. All events will be streamed LIVE on UN Web TV.
