The SDG Advocates are 17 inspiring, influential people raising global awareness of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the need for accelerated action. They use their unique global platforms to raise ambition around the SDGs and reach the most vulnerable first. SDG Advocates are strong public figures dedicated to peace, prosperity and the planet, rallying behind the vision of a better world and inspiring others to do the same. 

The SDG Advocates programme is housed in the United Nations Office for Partnerships where coordinators strategize and connect Advocates to opportunities worldwide.

SDG Advocates Emeritus are former SDG Advocates who are committed to generating awareness and catalyzing political will and action to achieve the 2030 Agenda.
