SDG Flag Day
25 September 2026
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 (SDGs). With the flag campaign, organisations, businesses, municipalities, schools and governments worldwide show that they are part of this global movement for a better world. Be part of this international campaign and join us this year on 25 September 2026.
The SDG Flag Day campaign was launched in 2020, and it has been growing in popularity every year. Since 2023, over 300 flags have been raised in Switzerland & Liechtenstein.
Will you be joining us this year?
