OUR
Initiatives

The current global crisis is a stark reminder of how connected we are and has shown how far we are from resilient, inclusive, sustainable societies. We must #FlipTheScript and work together across borders, sectors and generations to overcome challenges affecting all of humanity.

Together with our partners, the UN SDG Action Campaign is seizing four opportunities to scale up transformative changes living up to the promise of the Sustainable Development Goals.

Old models have not delivered. We need new ones. That’s why people must rewrite the story that shapes a new reality. It’s about knowing that the impossible is possible – if we act together. It means taking back our world because it belongs to all people, not just a few. We need to #FlipTheScript to achieve a healthy, just and green world, the ambitions at the heart of the SDGs.
