The 2022 edition of the Global Week to #Act4SDGs will take place 16-25 September. The mobilization ambition for 2022 is to inspire at least 100 million people to take individual and collective SDG action – with an overall target of mobilizing 1 billion actions by 2030.

Held during the high-level week of the United Nations General Assembly, the Week aims to drive collective action, mobilizing key stakeholders from all sectors to drive change while reminding world leaders that people around the world are doing their part to accelerate progress on the SDGs. 

Everyone! Organizations and individuals from all sectors of society are encouraged to join by planning actions or events during the Week that contribute to one or all of the SDGs. Participants Register by creating a profile on the online platform. This creates a public profile page that includes the action/s on the website and adds it to the Global Map of SDG ctions.

Each year a broad spectrum of people take part from; civil society organizations, grassroots groups, individuals, faith-based organizations, museums, schools, local and national governments, private sector, service clubs, youth groups, artists, social enterprises, activists, and academics from around the world.

You may register any event, individual or community action which aims to address one or more of the SDGs. The objective is to bring together the broadest spectrum of events, conferences, demonstrations, petitions, campaigns, local actions, etc. to create a huge groundswell of global action towards the achievement of the SDGs.

Past editions of the Global Week included demonstrations and stunts in front of government buildings, neighborhoods or beach clean-ups, tree planting, exhibits, school art projects, concerts, runs/walks/treks to raise funds and awareness, online and offline campaigns and much more. For inspiration, explore example actions on the Trello board. The actions can be as creative as you are!

The Global Week to #Act4SDGs will culminate in a global mobilization moment / public stunt on 25 September, the anniversary of the adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals. The UN SDG Action Campaign and partners will call on people everywhere to visibly illustrate their support for the SDGs at this critical mid-way point for the agenda.

In building a global movement, promoting your action or event can be as important as the action itself. In the lead up to, during and after the event, capture and share images, video and stories about your action on social media using the hashtag #FlipTheScript and #Act4SDGs and tag @SDGaction to help make your action count and share your action with the world. Be sure to explain how you and/or your network are FLIPPING THE SCRIPT through your respective actions.

We have provided all tools and guides for all activations on the Trello board, available in multiple languages. You can also take individual climate action for people and planet using the ActNow app.
