Working toward the SDGs with strong partnerships

Partnerships are an essential part of achieving the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which “are a global call to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure the well-being of humanity.”

Ban Ki-moon, the Eighth Secretary-General of the United Nations, has highlighted that “these goals can only be met through multilateral and multisectoral collaboration. This is why SDG 17, which calls for sustainable development through partnerships, is one of the most important of them all.”

The United Nations Association of New York is proud to partner with a range of organizations to help New York and the world move toward achieving the SDGs, including businesses, UN agencies, and other civil society groups, whether for joint events and programs, fundraising, or other collaborations.
