The purpose of UNAAWA is to connect Western Australians with the United Nations in order to promote justice, peace, security and sustainable development for present and future generations.
A critical element of this mission is to recognize the related achievements of members of our community and to hold them up as role models to be emulated by all Australians. Nominations for the 2025 UNAAWA Awards are now open and being led under the auspices of the various committees of the UNAAWA.
The UNAAWA Awards recognise outstanding achievements by individuals, community members and organisations in Western Australia that have made a significant contribution to furthering the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals through local action.
