"The SDGs we are fighting for are essential to improve the lives of millions of human beings across the world."
Remarks by Mathilde Marie Christine Ghislaine d’Udekem d’Acoz, Queen of Belgium, during the SDG Moment 2025.
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 (UNGA80).
The SDG Moment is held every year — as mandated by the 2019 SDG Summit — to highlight inspiring action on the Sustainable Development Goals. It showcases stories of transformation from communities, countries, and regions driving change across sectors — from renewable energy to gender equality. As we cross the two-thirds mark on the road to 2030, the 2025 SDG Moment marks a critical juncture. The event will bring together a constellation of transformative global and national efforts and will demonstrate how just and inclusive transitions are accelerating progress, even in the face of global challenges.
