HH Sheikha Moza bint Nasser, UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) advocate and chairperson of Education Above All, participated in a high-level SDG advocacy meeting hosted by the UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres at the United Nations Headquarters in New York, on Sunday afternoon.
Sheikha Moza thanked the secretary-general for stressing the need for collaboration between the advocates to push the 2030 agenda.
She said the EAA would work towards the fulfillment of universal primary education all over the world.
She also called for increased awareness about the scale of destruction caused by conflict and its negative impact on SDG progress, especially in education.
Launched in 2015, the Sustainable Development Goals aim to achieve universal peace and sustainably transform the world by 2030, through identifying and tackling various challenges like poverty, hunger, education and climate change among 13 other goals.
In 2019, she was reappointed as an advocate among 16 eminent persons to assist the UN secretary-general and create momentum to achieve the 2030 agenda.
