United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) week was from 15-22 September 2023 in which a series of SDGs at Halftime talks were held at the SDG Pavilion. Strategically planned to coincide with the midpoint of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) timeline, the event successfully rallied global leaders to uphold and intensify their commitment to the SDGs. The SDG Pavilion agenda was clear: to mobilize the world to keep the promise of the SDGs. Each talk brought new perspectives and fueled the collective resolve to achieve the SDGs by 2030.
