SDG GlobalFestival of Action

Founded in Bonn in 2017, the SDG Global Festival of Action grew into the world’s leading platform for SDG advocacy, bringing together youth leaders, activists, governments, businesses, creatives and UN agencies from more than 190 countries.

Through plenaries, exhibitions, workshops, performances and film screenings, the Festival turns advocacy into experience, with past editions featuring Nobel laureates, climate activists and changemakers.

In 2021, amid the pandemic, the virtual edition — Let’s #TurnItAround for People and the Planet — reimagined global convening on a fully digital platform, welcoming more than 30,000 participants.
