Sustainably inspiring: The 17 SDG gardens of BUGA 23 have been nominated for the German SDG Award
In its founding year, the young award honored projects and initiatives for the first time that increase the "awareness, importance and visibility of the SDGs and those who are already implementing the SDGs".
Among the 16 nominees of 2023 announced at the UN Climate Change Conference COP 27 in Sharm el Sheikh, Egypt: The 17 SDG Gardens of the Federal Horticultural Show Mannheim 2023.

We are twice pleased about this nomination: As an international agency for event marketing and live communication based in Mannheim and a participant in the UN Global Compact, the world's largest and most important initiative for sustainable and responsible corporate management, we keep our fingers crossed.

"At the planned BUGA 2023, the 17 SDGs will be implemented in a clear and innovative way through 17 gardens, each 100 square meters in size, and presented to the approximately 2.1 million expected guests through exhibition formats and a corresponding art and culture program. Visitors are actively invited to enter into a dialogue by using the presentations, information and exchange formats and concrete examples in order to get involved in their community, city and everyday life.
The conversion of a former military site also creates the starting point for a new identity-creating district with a city park, which is intended to contribute to a better urban climate in Mannheim.” Excerpt from the profile of the nominated project

The German SDG Award is an initiative of the Senate of Economy Germany.
