SDG #17: "Partnerships for the Goals"

SDG #14: “Life Below Water”

"More than ever before, our ocean offers us an opportunity for regenerative solutions to some of our most pressing problems: climate change, hunger, biodiversity loss, pollution. To accomplish this requires us to shift from a conservation ethic to a restoration agenda and imagine a more abundant future for our children."

SDG HEROES is a unique photographic series celebrating local and global leaders from all walks of life at the forefront meeting the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals. Each of the SDG HEROES holds a personal "SDG Object" symbolizing the single Goal they feel is most vital for them.
