UN SDG Global Festival of Action postponed on COVID-19
09 March, 2020:
In light of the rapidly evolving COVID-19 outbreak and of our commitment to safety and well-being of SDG partners globally and in Bonn, we have made the difficult decision — in consultation with the German Federal Government, local authorities in Bonn and other key stakeholders — to postpone the SDG Global Festival of Action. New dates will be announced as soon as possible
This has been a difficult decision to make, not only because the Festival is one of the most inspiring annual events raising the visibility and impact of SDG actions from across the globe, but also because the Festival is designed by and for the SDG Action community. The recognition of the tremendous effort, time and energy invested in the Festival by all our sessions hosts, speakers, participants and partners made the decision even harder.
The UN SDG Action Campaing is exploring new dates and will announce as soon as possible.
