Civil society, the private sector, youth, women, 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.
To generate additional opportunities for the engagement of all actors, the United Nations is convening an SDG Action Weekend on September 16-17, 2023 which will consist of the SDG Mobilization Day on Saturday, September 16, and the SDG Acceleration Day on Sunday, September 17, at United Nations Headquarters in New York.
The SDG Mobilization Day (September 16) 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 Acceleration Day (September 17) will be centered around the UN High-Impact Initiatives.
