Message from Our Chairman

Amir Dossal

“At SDG News, we believe that information is a form of power — but only when it reaches the right people, in the right way, at the right time. That’s why our focus is on informing and inspiring the leaders who shape policy, direct capital, and influence public opinion.

We are the ‘insider’s insider.’ A platform where global decision-makers come for trusted, high-level insights that drive action and scale proven solutions. Through credible reporting, thoughtful analysis, and compelling storytelling, we aim to help leaders connect the dots between vision and execution.

The SDGs can still be achieved — but only if we work together with urgency, creativity, and courage. SDG News is here to help make that happen.”

Our Mission

To amplify the ideas, innovations, and leaders driving real change toward the SDGs — and to connect those insights directly to the people in positions to act.

We believe the power of storytelling, when focused and credible, can catalyze investment, inspire political will, and unlock cross-sector collaboration at scale.

Why We Exist

The world is off-track in achieving the SDGs by 2030. This is not a time for complacency — it is a moment for urgent, coordinated action. At SDG News, we serve as both a chronicler of progress and a catalyst for acceleration. We give voice to the leaders making a difference, spotlight the solutions with the greatest potential, and keep the SDGs at the top of the global agenda.

Our Team

We are a global network of journalists, analysts, and strategists, supported by advisors and partners who are deeply embedded in the worlds of diplomacy, policy, finance, and innovation. Together, we ensure our reporting is accurate, relevant, and actionable for leaders on the frontlines of global decision-making.

Our Edge​

Exclusive Audience

We serve the people who set agendas and deploy capital—ministers, ambassadors, UN leaders, CEOs, investors, and family offices—so your message reaches decision-makers, not just readers.

Solutions-Focused

We go beyond headlines to the how—field-tested models, policy levers, financing structures, and implementation playbooks leaders can use now.

Global Perspective

We elevate local breakthroughs onto global stages—into UN processes, cross-border coalitions, and investment pipelines for real scale.

Elite Access

We don’t just cover the halls of power—we convene in them. From UN headquarters to ministerial briefings and boardrooms, we host high-level events with world leaders and report from inside the rooms where decisions are made, delivering early intelligence and direct pathways to action.
