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?

promotora de los objetivos de desarrollo sostenible
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.
