Policy and Rights Justin Trudeau on Introducing a New Federal Budget

Building a future that is fair, equal, and peaceful, with clean air and clean water for everyone, is at the heart of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). All UN member States adopted the 17 SDGs as part of a shared blueprint that focuses on ending poverty, improving health and education, reducing inequality, spurring economic growth – all while tackling climate change and protecting the environment.

Today, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced that, at the invitation of the United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres, he and the Prime Minister of Barbados, Mia Mottley, will be co-chairing the Sustainable Development Goals Advocates group.

SDG Advocates work to raise global awareness of the Sustainable Development Goals and the need for accelerated action by using their respective platforms. Advocates include academics, politicians, artists, musicians and more, from around the world.
