SDG Pavilion - Elevating Education as a Win-Win…

If present trends continue, by 2030 some 84 million children will be out of school and 300 million more will lack the necessary skills in reading and mathematics.  New investments and commitments are needed to transform education. 

Following up on the Transforming Education Summit in 2022, this session will explore priorities to boost ambition and progress action for education everywhere. As we reach the halftime mark of the SDGs, we must mobilize ambition, innovation, and a comprehensive approach to keep the promise of Goal 4.

The session will bring youth voices to the front and centre, joining together with education advocates, world leaders, renowned athletes, civil society, and the private sector representatives.

THE WORLD NEEDS A HALFTIME TALK 

The UN Office for Partnerships is working with Project Everyone, a not-for-profit communications agency co-founded by SDG Advocate and the screenwriter Richard Curtis, in collaboration with artist Es Devlin, to create the SDG Pavilion, a unique convening space and art installation. 

We will come together at the United Nations General Assembly from 15–22 September 2023 for the SDG Summit and a full week of Halftime Talks in the SDG Pavilion to accelerate action for people for planet. 

The SDG Pavilion will host a series of Halftime Talks about mobilizing the world to keep the promise of the SDGs.
