Join us for the SDG Flag Day and raise a Flag!
We are excited to invite you to participate in this year's SDG Flag Day. At the end of September, all around the world the SDG Flag will be raised to show our support to the Sustainable Development Goals. With the flag campaign, organisations, businesses, municipalities, schools and governments worldwide show that they are part of this global movement for a better world.

The Sustainable Development Goals
The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015, is a shared roadmap towards a more sustainable and inclusive word. At its heart are the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which are an urgent call for action with the aim of eradicating poverty, protecting the planet, and promoting peace and prosperity for all. The goals cover a wide range of issues, including climate change, education, gender equality, and clean water and sanitation.
Learn here how the Swiss Federal Council is implementing the Agenda 2030 in Switzerland.
By displaying the SDG flag on September 25th, 2023 we can show our support for the SDGs and help spreading awareness about the importance of achieving these goals.
