Hello Everyone!

The Global Opportunities for Sustainable Development Goals (GO4SDGs) is a UNEP initiative that aims to accelerate the progress necessary to meet the 2030 Agenda, especially for SDG 12 (Sustainable Consumption and Production) and SDG 8 (Decent Work & Green Economies).

We build partnerships to connect global initiatives with regional needs and solutions. We use a vast number and variety of tools developed by our partners and focus on implementation, action and scaling up, and replications of good practices. We are active in Africa, Asia-Pacific, LAC, West Asia and Central Asia.

GO4SDGs focuses on three main action components:

i) supporting governments to strengthen policy coherence.

ii) working with small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to increase capacities and access for financing innovation and circularity.

 iii) youth empowerment to amplify their voices and empower them to embrace sustainable lifestyles.

To achieve this, we collaborate with partners to share best practices, science-based knowledge, tools and capacity development in the high-impact sectors of agri-food, fashion/textiles, tourism (incl. plastics).

We are pleased to present our progress report with the highlights of work in 2022. We are advancing circular economy in the regions, increased capacity development to reduce food waste, and launched the SMEs Action Agenda, and the Green Jobs for Youth Pact at COP27. We also started to yield results in the high-impact sectors of fashion/textiles, agri-food & tourism.
