The UN SDG Action Awards are back!

The UN SDG Action Campaign is looking for initiatives and individuals from around the world that #FlipTheScript and rethink how we live and what progress and development look like.

Are YOU or is someone you know the next winner? Award-winning initiatives are those that inspire, mobilize and connect people to drive action towards a more sustainable future on a healthy planet. Award-winning individuals are changemakers who inspire and empower others through their actions.

It would be wonderful to have one of these awards go to a member of our LWCCN Network! Let’s do it!

Apply or nominate by 1 May 2022 for a chance to be celebrated at the Awards Ceremony during the Global Week to #Act4SDGs in September! sdgactionawards.org

Here’s a bit from a faith-oriented UN newsletter:

Are you ready for the fifth session of the United Nations Environment Assembly that will take place in Nairobi 22-26 February 2021. The theme for the fifth session has been decided by the Bureau of the Assembly and reads as follows: “Strengthening Actions for Nature to Achieve the Sustainable Development Goals”.  Although UNEA is still over a year ahead, but it is now where we start debating relevant issues, propose resolutions for adoption, preparing papers for submission and planning for special events. I will keep everyone informed of the progression of the preparations, but certainly we need to reflect on the faith-based perspectives of what is meant by “Strengthening Actions for Nature”? Last UNEA. We had 200 faith leaders participating for the first time, but with more than 45 FBOs already accredited to UNEP, we are expecting not only a massive participation, but also policy implications and impact. Please keep monitoring the UNEA space.
