Global Goals Week, a campaign of activities, launches and debates to raise awareness and inspire action on the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals has been taking place across the city.

The Goals are a set of 17 interconnected aims that were adopted by all United Nations member states back in 2015. They address a wide range of global challenges, including poverty, inequality, climate change, and environmental degradation.

Global Goals Week Liverpool has been organised by 2030hub, the world’s first UN-regcognised Local 2030 Hub committed to promoting sustainability across Liverpool City Region, and internationally.

“It’s our fifth campaign and a growing opportunity for the whole City Region to come together and show the world our commitment to creating a more sustainable future,” said David Connor, Founder of 2030hub, and a UN Foundation Advisor..

“We hope that this week will inspire leaders and individuals to take bolder action on the Goals in their own lives and in communities at home and abroad.”

2030hub has acted for 8 years as the sustainability link, support and “provocateur across sectors, geographies, influence and siloes to help everybody understand we can create impact faster when we act together,” added Stephen Sykes, 2030hub Co-Founder.

• Launch of GGW Ambassadors led by Sophia Polson, climate advocate and photographer
