🏆Meet the 4 Honourable Mentions of the 2020 UN SDG Action Awards

One month ago, we announced the incredible group of finalists for the UN SDG Action Awards, and now we have a special selection of ‘Honourable Mentions’ to share.

These initiatives demonstrate significant impact, creativity, innovation and replicability; however, as they could not be considered for the Awards due to their affiliation with Governments and/or the UN, they have been elevated for an Honourable Mention.

We’re thrilled to introduce them ahead of the upcoming SDG Action Awards Ceremony which will be hosted at the SDG Global Festival of Action on 25–26 March 2021.
