The SDG Moment serves to place an annual spotlight on the Sustainable Development
Goals (SDGs) and will be held at the beginning of the United Nation’s General Assembly’s High-Level Week. It takes place as the world experiences a deeply uneven response to the COVID-19 pandemic, which risks creating a two-tier recovery with significant implications for the advancement of the SDGs, especially in developing countries.

Convened by the UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, the Moment will provide world
leaders with a platform to showcase the bold plans, actions and solutions that are needed to end the COVID-19 pandemic and set the world on course towards achieving the SDGs. Held in advance of major meetings on food systems, climate, energy, jobs and social protection, the SDG Moment event is expected to build the momentum needed to deliver on the Decade of Action and Keep the Promise of the SDGs.

제목 : 지속가능발전목표 (SDGs) 모멘트(moment) – 방탄소년단, 유엔 사무총장, 총회의장 등 | 유엔 (오전세션)

지속가능발전목표 모멘트는 매년 지속가능발전목표(SDGs)를 조명하는 역할을 합니다. 전세계가 코로나 바이러스 대유행에 대해 매우 불균등한 대응을 경험하고 있고, 특히 개발도상국들에서는 지속가능발전목표2단계로의 발전을 저해할 가능성이 있으며, 이는 지속가능발전목표 이행 및 추진에 상당한 영향을 미칠 것입니다.
