Background The UN Secretary-General established the UN SDG Action Campaign to inspire people and organizations from all backgrounds and every part of the world to take actions to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals, while holding decision-makers to account for progress society-wide. The UN SDG Action Campaign is hosted and supported by UNDP and is based in Bonn (Germany) with a lean team that marshals rapid support for new initiatives as opportunities arise and provides partners with on-demand strategic creative services that inspire SDG action with an engaged community of activists and concerned individuals. The UN SDG Action Campaign is working closely with cities and local governments to showcase how they are actively contributing to implement Agenda 2030, accelerating transformative action to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals for all, and everywhere. Local and regional governments are already responsible of over 65% of the SDG targets, most of them linked to basic service provision from water, sanitation, mobility, climate action, health or education. Cities and territories are playing a big part on the implementation of SDGs, that are becoming a new tool for strategic planning and budgeting in the mid to long-term. Since August 2023, the Campaign is operating the SDG Local Action website (www.sdglocalaction.org ) collecting stories on how cities are contributing to Agenda 2030, organizing webinars and workshops to exchange experiences, inspire and scale up local action projects as well as generating knowledge on how cities and other local governments are innovating on management, finance and governance issues. The UN SDG Action Campaign is supporting the implementation of the pilot for the 2025 Global Mayors Challenge, a competition designed to support cities in the development of ambitious and innovative ideas that improve residents’ lives. Cities are uniquely positioned to encourage and foster the innovation, creativity, ideas, and solutions needed to tackle the pressing social and economic issues facing the world today – as well as meet the challenges of tomorrow. The 2025 edition of the Global Mayors Challenge is focusing on core city services, all of them directly related to SDG goals and targets such public transportation (SDG 11.2), public education (SDG 4), public safety (SDG 16.1), public libraries, parks and recreation (SDG 11.7), healthcare (SDG 3), social services (SDG 10), internet connectivity (SDG 17.8), housing and shelter (SDG 11.1), clean water (SDG 15.1) air (SDG 3.9) and infrastructure (SDG 9), waste and sanitation (SDG 11.6), energy use (SDG 7) and economic and workforce development (SDG 8).
