SDG Mobilization Day: Torchbearers for the SDGs
Civil society, the private sector, youth, scientists, local and regional governments and other stakeholders all have a key role in the implementation of the SDGs. Their participation, contributions and catalytic mobilization will be essential to the success of the SDG Summit and its follow-up.
The SDG Mobilization Day will create an opportunity for stakeholders from all sectors to convene inside the United Nations Headquarters and mobilize towards an ambitious SDG Summit and UN General Assembly High-Level Week.
The SDG Mobilization Day will be held on 16 September, Saturday, from 10:00 – 17:30. It will consist of:
- High-Level Opening and Closing segments.
- Mobilization sessions held in parallel, facilitated by UN entities in close collaboration with relevant networks/stakeholder groups.
- Side-Events – A limited number of side-events will be identified through an open call (please, see below)
Expected Outcomes:
While specific outcomes are expected from each of the mobilization sessions, a conscious effort will be undertaken to ensure the overarching outcomes and messages inform the formal proceedings of the SDG Summit on 18 and 19 September.
