As the international community gathers for the 80th Session of the United Nations General
Assembly (UNGA) in New York City, PVBLIC Foundation is honored to convene, partner, and
lead transformative programming throughout the high-level week.
This year marks the 80th anniversary of the United Nations and the 10th anniversary of the
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Against this backdrop, PVBLIC reaffirms its
commitment to creating spaces where dialogue leads to concrete action. Across a diverse
set of convenings, we aim to bring together leaders from governments, multilateral
organizations, philanthropy, the private sector and civil society to exchange ideas, forge
alliances, and catalyze solutions for a more sustainable and equitable future.
From the SDG Media Zone to the Family Offices for Sustainable Development Summit, from
health equity to sustainable fashion, PVBLIC continues to design platforms that amplify
innovation, elevate collaboration, and accelerate progress on global sustainability.
Here’s an overview of the initiatives and events we are proud to lead and support during this milestone UN General Assembly:
