📣 Call for the 🏆 Heroes of Tomorrow: Applications for the 2025 UN SDG Action Awards are now open!

At a time of escalating global crises and widening inequalities, we must not only keep the sight of hope, but we must act on it. Now more than ever.

The 2025 Heroes of Tomorrow: UN SDG Action Awards are now open for applications and nominations, calling on individuals and initiatives who transform our world through creativity, resilience, and community leadership.
“The Heroes of Tomorrow remind us that change is not only possible — it is already happening, everywhere, every day. In the face of injustice, crisis, and uncertainty, they choose to act. To resist. To imagine a better world and bring it to life. This is how hope becomes unstoppable.”
— Marina Ponti, Global Director, UN SDG Action Campaign
