The United Nations Department of Global Communications participated in UNGA from 23-27 September and discussed the transformations and solutions needed to accelerate action on the SDGs. This year’s sessions highlighted the tracks of the Summit of the Future, including the new agenda for peace, global governance, financing for development, digital cooperation, and future generations, alongside key SDG issues.
