We need a new multilateralism to shift the world to sustainable tracks<https://esamail.un.org/t/8471646/6272078/14003/1003/>

In September, world leaders will gather at the UN Headquarters in New York to signal how they will boost action to protect the planet and ensure the well-being of people, everywhere. Discussions and outcomes will seek to address climate change, accelerate progress on sustainable development and deliver results for the people who are being left behind.

HIGHLIGHTS

A day to celebrate indigenous languages of the world<https://esamail.un.org/t/8471646/6272078/14004/1005/>

“The health of our languages is connected to the health of the earth […] We lose our connection and our ancient ways of knowing of the earth when our languages fall silent. […] for the sake of future generations, we must ensure they too can speak the language of our ancestors.”

International Youth Day 2019 – Transforming Education<https://esamail.un.org/t/8471646/6272078/14005/1009/>

Exactly 20 years ago, the UN General Assembly decided that 12 August shall henceforth be celebrated every year as the International Youth Day. At a time when the world is increasingly looking to young people as leaders and as a moral compass on everything from climate action to peacebuilding, to education, celebrating their achievements and engagement is more important than ever.

EXPERT VOICES

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT

Raise your ambition, register your SDG Acceleration Action<https://esamail.un.org/t/8471646/6272078/14006/1014/>

Is your government planning new initiatives that will impact implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals? Can your business commit to going carbon-neutral by 2025?

Planet or plastic – the choice is yours<https://esamail.un.org/t/8471646/6272078/14007/1015/>

With more than 2,000 participants from all over the world, this year’s High-level Political Forum on Sustainable Development (HLPF) was the largest global review of progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals yet. Among the 2,000 guests were Heather Koldewey and Sara Hylton of the National Geographic Society’s “Sea to Source: Ganges” expedition,  part of National Geographic’s “Planet or Plastic” initiative. Here is what they had to say about the global plastic pollution crisis.

In a critical year for sustainable development, the world came together to review SDG progress<https://esamail.un.org/t/8471646/6272078/14008/1016/>

With reports indicating that current efforts to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are being undermined by climate change and sharply rising inequalities, the High-Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development concluded on 18 July with calls for an increased critical role for local communities and civil society in getting the world back on track to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030.
