The Sydney Opera House has become the first major Australian art institution to announce its commitment to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The Global Goals address some of the most pressing issues of our time, including inequality, education and climate change.

Since opening in 1973, the Opera House has championed environmental sustainability, creativity, diversity, cultural rights and respect for heritage. This announcement puts the world-famous performing arts centre and premier tourism destination among a growing collective of global and Australian companies, governments and community organisations that have signed up to the Global Goals.
