Sustainable Development Goals (SDG's) Day

On 25 September, the world marks the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG's) day. The SDG's were adopted by the United Nations in 2015 as a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure that by 2030 all people enjoy peace and prosperity.

This year's SDG's theme is Building back better from the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) while advancing the full implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development ".

United Nations Association of Fiji (UNA Fiji) is mandated by its membership to educate and engage citizens on the work of the United Nations and global issues that affect everyone. In summary, Through Global Classrooms we grow Active Fijian Citizens who go on to becoming Global Citizens. We are currently trying to reach the status of the leading policy voice on multilateralism in Fiji. Our current work is framed by the 17 Sustainable Development Goals established by the UN to guide the international community until 2030.

Our programs and activities celebrate diversity, empathy-based learning, and solution-seeking opportunities on shared challenges with human rights-based approaches as the backbone. We are dedicated to promoting constructive participation in the United Nations and elevating the principles of the UN Charter. Our area of work involves the issues affecting Fijians and the Pacific Islanders, such as climate change, nuclear testing, and its effects, decolonization, and self-determination, and diaspora rights.

With Class, Dignity, & Elegance –
