SDG Acceleration Actions to Build Back Better
SDG Acceleration Actions is an online platform set up by UN DESA in the lead up to the SDG Summit to capture and promote new commitments and actions from national governments and all non-state actors to accelerate the SDG implementation.

All Member States and other actors are encouraged to use the 2020 High-level Political Forum as an opportunity to register new SDG acceleration actions and initiatives through the online platform, including those that seek to support efforts to build back better from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Organized by UN DESA , the special event aims to showcase and galvanize ambitious new SDG Acceleration Actions by governments and other actors to contribute to the Decade of Action and Delivery in the context of post COVID-19 realities.
