About the Geneva SDG Community

Geneva, as the European headquarters of the UN, and host to over 40 international organizations, and almost 700 Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), has a unique ecosystem of actors working on implementing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The Geneva SDG Community is a dynamic network of individuals operating in this unique ecosystem to advance the SDGs globally. It mobilizes the expertise and capacity of Geneva-based actors to accelerate the SDGs and long-term sustainability.
