Sunway University, in collaboration with the United Nations (UN), hosted the Rock the Goals 2025 event in Kuala Lumpur to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The event, held on 29 September, attracted nearly 1,500 participants, including students, staff, and international dignitaries from organisations such as UNICEF, the European Union, and the World Health Organisation.
The celebration highlighted the global commitment to the SDGs, which were initially launched in 2015 to address pressing global challenges such as poverty, inequality, and climate change. Distinguished guests and ambassadors from around the world gathered on stage with the 17 SDG flags, symbolising a unified effort towards achieving these goals.
The event underscored the importance of education and collaboration in advancing sustainable development. A spokesperson from Sunway University stated, “The Rock the Goals 2025 event is a testament to our ongoing commitment to the UN’s vision for a sustainable future.”
As the world continues to face environmental and social challenges, events like Rock the Goals serve as a reminder of the collective responsibility to foster a sustainable and equitable world. The anniversary celebration not only commemorated past achievements but also reinforced the ongoing dedication required to meet the SDGs by 2030.
