ITS EDUCATION ASIA ARTICLE


Halfway in the 2030 Agenda

By Danny Harrington, MD ITS Education Asia


Later this year will see the release of the Global Sustainable Development Report marking the halfway point in the 2030 Agenda. As a precursor to that, a High-Level Advisory Board on Effective Multilateralism has just released a report offering insight on how to boost the progress towards the SDGs which seem to be lagging, and to propose solutions to the challenges holding change back.

The report calls for six transformational shifts:

  • Rebuilding trust in multilateralism through inclusion and accountability;
  • Regaining balance with nature and providing clean energy for all;
  • Ensuring abundant and sustainable finance that delivers for all;
  • Supporting a just digital transition that unlocks the value of data and protects against digital harms;
  • Empowering effective, equitable collective security arrangements; and
  • Managing current and emerging transnational risks.

“Multilateralism can work, but it must work better and faster,” said co-Chair Stefan Löfven at the report’s launch. “Our people-centred recommendations aim to strengthen international cooperation and support an accelerated implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Paris Agreement [on climate change],” he explained.
