In August 2019 then 16 year old cimate activist Greta Thunberg sailed from the UK to New York in the USA on a zero emission yacht to attend the United Nations Climate Action summit - on her arrival at the harbour she was greeted with flotilla or 17 boats each with a Global Goal on the sails. - Google Arts & Culture

"I have never seen so many people, so animated around the sustainable development goals as during the past three days" (In French) "Dear friends, We face a great challenge. Like the Sustainable Development Flotilla on the New York harbour, we need all hands on deck. We must leave no one behind" - António Guterres, Secretary-General United Nations, In his adress to world leaders.
