📜 “The #2030Agenda represents our collective vision for a better world. As we reaffirm our commitment to it in NY, we must also ensure that we are effectively communicating its value in improving lives to people at home, with #SDG16 at its core.... Amidst growing global polarization and distrust, we need to rebuild the social contract between people and the national and international institutions mandated to serve them. Failing on our promise to “#LeaveNoOneBehind” cannot be an option.” Excerpt from a powerful joint statement presented by Minister of State Ossian Smyth at the Department of Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform at the Department of Environment, Climate and Communications in the Government of Ireland this morning at #HLPF2024 on behalf of the Pathfinders member states, co-facilitated by Permanent Mission of Indonesia to the United Nations and the Permanent Mission of Ireland to the United Nations 📣! 🇮🇪🇮🇩 We are grateful for the support of colleagues John Gilroy and Sherley Mega Sandiori for facilitating this joint statement! 📖 Read the statement & watch on United Nations Web TV 📺: https://lnkd.in/erB4gYUA #SDGs #SDG16 #2030Agenda #PactOfTheFuture

🏙️ Who belongs in the city? 🏪 Urban planning often prioritizes market forces, turning residents into customers rather than citizens. This shift influences policy and societal membership, contingent on economic power. 🔒 As cities evolve, many essential services are privatized, creating exclusive areas for those who can afford them. 🏗️ Governments and private actors collaborate to restructure laws and planning tools to facilitate market-driven urbanization. This collaboration often leads to the transformation of public spaces and resources into commodities, further entrenching #inequality. 📜 Download the full report to learn more about the role of urban planning 🔻 https://lnkd.in/e-YdmVsE #SDG16Plus #HousingJustice #LeaveNoOneBehind #SDG11 #SustainableDevelopment

💰 Finance is a challenge in most countries, with the justice sector struggling to deliver results. The Justice Action Coalition’s Workstream on Justice Financing aims to address these challenges with the Justice Financing Framework. 🎯 The Justice Financing Framework seeks to guide country-level justice financing, setting out financing principles, benchmarks, and ambitions to deliver #PeopleCenteredJustice. Its foundation is the 2019 Hague Declaration of Equal Access to Justice for All by 2030 and the OECD Recommendation on Access to Justice and People Centred Justice Systems. 💡 It draws inspiration from health and education sectors that have improved outcomes. ⚖️ Don’t miss out on our #SummitOfTheFuture side event, “Moving Towards a Financing Framework for People-Centered Justice,” to discuss effective financing for #justice and the proposed framework. 🌱 Co-sponsored by Canada 🇨🇦, The Kingdom of The Netherlands 🇳🇱, Sierra Leone 🇸🇱, and USAID, and co-organized by #JusticeActionCoalition, HiiL | User-friendly Justice, Pathfinders for Peaceful, Just and Inclusive Societies, ODI, OECD - OCDE, and UNDP. ‼️ RSVP for in-person attendance by September 16 at noon (ET)! 👇 https://lnkd.in/euKmsfMK 📁 Resources 👇 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eFmA6tjQ 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gdsr7ESn #SDG16Plus #JusticeForAll #AccessToJustice #OurCommonFuture #GlobalGoals

🌱 How can we advance Sustainable Development Goals 13 (climate action) and 16 (peace, justice, and strong institutions)? 🎯 Develop locally-led adaptation efforts: In #Fiji 🇫🇯, at-risk communities, government, and experts have planned relocation efforts before a climate disaster happens. 💪 Support legal empowerment and community organizing: In #SierraLeone 🇸🇱 and #Nigeria 🇳🇬, community paralegals mobilized residents to secure better land lease terms and halt evictions from informal settlements through legal action and dialogue with authorities. 📜 Utilize strategic litigation: As climate litigation grows, it sets a strong legal precedent, with 55 percent of cases resulting in climate-positive rulings that directly influence new policies. 🏛️ Implement government measures: #Peru 🇵🇪’s #ClimateChange Framework Law addresses climate-induced migration, while #Colombia 🇨🇴 prepares to legally recognize climate-displaced people, granting priority access to essential services. 💡 Explore these recommendations in Stacey Cram’s latest blog ⤵️ https://lnkd.in/gfQ-3Njc #SDG16Plus #AccessToJustice #JusticeForAll #SustainableDevelopment

⚖️ Why is #AccessToJustice essential? 💬 “If I’m denied my justice, [it] means I’m denied everything”—Christina Kamili Ruhinda (Executive Director, Tanzania Network of Legal Aid Providers; Member, The African Centre of Excellence for Access to Justice (ACE-AJ) ). 🌍 “[Justice] is no longer just a right within the Declaration of Human Rights at the UN [...], it’s actually now part of a development agenda”—Lorenzo Wakefield (Program Officer, Mott Foundation). 📜 “For me, justice is a very important principle, as the most relevant right, because it allows me to exercise the other rights”—María Fernanda Rodríguez (Former Vice Minister of Justice, Argentina 🇦🇷; Pathfinders for Peaceful, Just and Inclusive Societies Senior Consultant). 🏘️ Learn more about how justice helps to shape #inclusive societies ⬇️ https://lnkd.in/eH6RRFED ➕ More #WhatDoesJusticeMean resources ⬇️ https://lnkd.in/g378Dqgc #SDG16Plus #JusticeForAll #A2J

🏙️ The rise of new cities in #Africa is often seen as a quick fix to urban challenges, but it can lead to greater #exclusion and #inequality. 🌱 For instance, eco-cities are attracting global elites and investors. They are marketed as more #sustainable and healthy than existing ones, promise a greener future, and offer innovation in #RenewableEnergy. 💰 However, these projects are often too expensive for the population. The price for a two- or three-bedroom apartment in #Nigeria 🇳🇬’s Eko Atlantic is between $800,000 and $1,000,000. 🏘️ As a result, new cities lead to the privatization of services and land use modification to accommodate elite interests. 🔗 Learn more about this trend ⤵️ https://lnkd.in/e-YdmVsE #SDG16Plus #HousingJustice #LeaveNoOneBehind #HousingForAll #SDG11 #SustainableDevelopment

☁️ How does the #ClimateCrisis create injustice and lead to #displacement? 🌊 Factors including disasters like cyclones and floods, slow-onset climate dynamics, exploitation, evictions, and conflicts over land rights can all lead to injustice and displacement. 🗂️ Current frameworks must address multi-causal displacement, which leaves many lacking protection and support. 🔍 Find out more in our Non-Resident Fellow Stacey Cram’s latest blog 🖇️ https://lnkd.in/gfQ-3Njc #SDG16Plus #AccessToJustice #JusticeForAll #SustainableDevelopment
