Welcome to the first edition of the SDG Media Compact Newsletter which we have created exclusively for our members. The newsletter will be produced quarterly and will offer a platform to showcase member's initiatives in support of the SDGs and keep you updated on SDG related news, upcoming events and other opportunities for engagement. We welcome all feedback, comments and suggestions of topics you’d like to see in future newsletters. The media and entertainment industry has a crucial role to play as we work to keep the SDGs on track and build back to a better, greener and more just world. Thank you for the efforts you are making to support this ambition.
The SDG Media Compact continues to expand and grow. A very warm welcome to all of our new members and thank you for taking action in support of a better future for all people and for our planet.
