You are invited to join the celebration. And we have a lot to celebrate this year: 4,000 women have played since 2016 and have produced more than 22,500 actions for the Goals - some have even changed laws. 

We will transform the SAP Next-Gen’s breathtaking event space on the 48th floor into a skyhigh football pitch overlooking Manhattan. Alongside the games we will feature panel discussions and a photo exhibition sharing the team’s actions and Goals.

Host GGWCUP, UNDP & SAP Next-Gen
Date September 25th from noon to 8PM and chill after-party
Venue SAP Next-Gen - 48th floor

 
 
Some of the goals are so big: End poverty, combat climate change. None of us can do this on our own, but all of us together can make a real difference.
— Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, actor, GGWCup referee, and UNDP Goodwill Ambassador.

Global Goals Week is an annual week of action, awareness, and accountability for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). And this year it is the largest Week yet with 80+ partners. Reed full press release here.

Launched by Project Everyone, UNDP, and the United Nations Foundation in 2016, it brings together governments, businesses, individuals, international organizations, civil society, and others during the United Nations General Assembly in September to build momentum to achieve the SDGs and ensure no one is left behind.

The SDGs were adopted by 193 countries at the UN in 2015. Every citizen in the world can hold their leaders accountable to the SDGs. Everyone can also participate in working for the goals in their neighborhood and throughout the world. It is truly a citizens agenda for a sustainable future.
— Prime Minister of Norway Erna Solberg
