The United Nations General Assembly has adopted a political declaration acknowledging that the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) are in peril and recommitting to bold, ambitious, and accelerated actions to meet the 2030 development agenda.
The declaration expressed deep concern at the SDG financing gap and recognised the urgency of providing predictable and sufficient development finance to developing countries from all sources.
Adopted through consensus, it was a Political Declaration reaffirming the commitment of all 193-member states to effectively implement the 2030 Agenda and its SDGs and to uphold all principles enshrined therein. “The world’s poorest and most vulnerable people are carrying the cost of our collective inability to significantly advance the Sustainable Development Goals. We therefore need urgent action to reverse the devastating impact of the COVID-19 as well. We need to step up actions against climate change, pollution and biodiversity loss. At the same time, we must recognise that every country has the right to pursue its own development pathway towards shared global objectives.
