At the midpoint of Agenda 2030, the achievement of the SDGs is at risk due to a slowdown in progress caused by the climate crisis, economic fluctuations, ongoing conflicts and the repercussions and effects of the pandemic. There has never been a greater need for action to improve the satisfaction of elementary basic needs as well as climate and environmental protection on an equal level.
Announcing the UNIDO Innovation Award 2023, organized in conjunction with the German SDG Award 2023, Director General Gerd Müller said, “We want to recognize trailblazers who bring innovation solutions for sustainable development…pioneers from companies, cities and municipalities that are internationally active, bringing ideas with a global reach.”
With the initiative of the German SDG Award and the UNIDO Innovation Award, they will highlight ideas and solution-oriented impulses and projects in order to tackle and successfully implement common challenges together.
