ACCELERATING ACTION TOWARDS THE GLOBAL GOALS

While the UN SDGs were the bedrock for every one of Expo’s Programme for People and Planet Theme Weeks, Global Goals Week shone a unifying light on all 17 Goals, showing how they are uniquely interdependent, and inspiring action towards a brighter tomorrow.

From Expo 2020 Dubai’s Declaration for People and Planet

Expo 2020 Dubai brought the Global Goals to life as ‘The World’s To-do List’, providing a unique global stage to inform, inspire and act on achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. By leveraging relatable, empathetic storytelling, we injected fresh momentum into the Decade of Action, mobilising governments, businesses and the general public and collecting over 75,000 individual commitments towards a better future for people and the planet by 2030. We must build creative and purposeful partnerships to catalyse sustainable growth, inclusive of all stakeholders along the value chain. For optimal impact, these collaborations must be holistic and address the interdependencies of the SDGs

The journey continues

Building on the global impact of Expo 2020 Dubai’s Programme for People and Planet, which was endorsed by the UAE Cabinet and adopted by 192 nations, we continue to bring together global leaders, industry experts and diverse voices from communities across the globe to chart a shared path forward on the world’s most pressing priorities.
