English term or phrase: Sustainable Development Goals Advocate...
I would like to know the best translation of this phrase from American English into Latin American Spanish.

Colleagues from Spain, feel free to send me your suggestions as well. This is a translation about sociology. Is okay to translate it as abogada de metas de desarrollo sostenible?

Here is the full paragraph for your review:

She serves as a Sustainable Development Goals Advocate for the United Nations and as a Member of the World Refugee Council. In 2016, she was awarded the Lifetime Africa Achievement Prize for Peace in Africa by the Millennium Excellence Foundation.

promotora de los objetivos de desarrollo sostenible
Explanation:
Although the literal translation of "goals" is "metas" the word "objectives" sounds more formal.
The verb "to advocate" has the following connotation:
: to support or argue for (a cause, policy, etc.) : to plead in favor of.....
which is more appropiate in this context.
