The UN Global Compact in Iceland, in collaboration with the Icelandic United Nations Association with the support of the Prime Minister and the Ministry for Foreign Affairs, is hosting the flag day of the UN Sustainable Development Goals for the first time in Iceland. The town of Hafnarfjörður participated in the Flag Day by hoisting the flag at City Hall, yesterday on the 25th of September. Hafnarfjörður’s overall strategy for 2035 is structured around nine of the main objectives linked to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Each of them should contribute to long-term improvements and positive change in order for the municipality’s vision of a sustainable society, well-being of its residents and the townscape, to become a reality.
Hafnarfjörður’s overall strategy for 2035
The purpose of Flag Day is to remind companies, institutions, NGOs, schools and municipalities around the world, of the importance of the SDGs and to demonstrate their commitment to the SDGs and the actions they demand. September 25th, 2023, marks eight years since the adoption of the UN Sustainable Development Goals. The SDGs include a call for international co-operation to promote welfare and make the world a better place by 2030. Although remarkable progress has been made in various areas, the journey to 2030 is halfway through and it is clear that more effort is needed to achieve the desired results. The UN Global Compact’s flag campaign started in the Netherlands in 2019 and has been growing in popularity. This year, hundreds of companies, institutions, NGOs, schools and municipalities are participating in Flag Day around the world under the name, Together for the Sustainable Development Goals #TogetherForTheSDGs.
