The United Nations 2030 Agenda and its 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are an ambitious call to action that aim to end poverty, protect the planet, and build a better, fairer future for every generation.
Advancing progress on the SDGs begins with communities, and with just six years left in the 2030 Agenda, collaboration is more important than ever. By fostering local solutions, we create tangible progress for all Canadians.
Today, the Minister of Families, Children and Social Development, Jenna Sudds, announced $9.9 million over three years to support approximately 30 projects through the SDG Funding Program. Funded organizations will implement innovative projects within their own communities to increase the awareness of SDGs and accelerate progress on the 2030 Agenda.
This round of funding adds to the nearly $22 million previously allocated for 131 projects across Canada.
The SDG Funding Program showcases Canada's steadfast commitment to the implementation of the 2030 Agenda through a whole-of-society approach. The Government will continue to work in close partnership with organizations to help deliver improved outcomes for Canadians and create a future where no one is left behind.
