Let's Partner for a Sustainable Future! "As we strive to achieve the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (#SDGs), it's clear that no one organization or country can do it alone. That's why #SDG_Goal_17: Partnerships for the Goals is crucial for driving progress and making a lasting impact. By forging strong partnerships between governments, private sector companies, civil society organizations, and individuals, we can: Mobilize resources and expertise Share knowledge and technology Build capacities and strengthen institutions Promote inclusive and sustainable trade Together, we can achieve the SDGs and create a more peaceful, prosperous, and sustainable world for all.

The United Nations #SummitOfTheFuture took place on September 22-23, 2024, at the General Assembly Hall Un Headquarter in New York.  This high-level summit provided a crucial opportunity to enhance global cooperation and address governance gaps. With a focus on advancing the Sustainable Development Goals (#SDGs), participants assessed successes and challenges while mobilizing political will to accelerate action. We at #UNGP were honored to participate in this important summit and to advocate for a stronger commitment to the SDGs. Our vision is to embed these goals within governance frameworks, fostering collaboration across all regions to support the #2030Agenda. This invitation highlighted UNGP’s crucial role in global affairs and our dedication to shaping future policies and initiatives. Together, we strive to advance sustainable development, promote equitable access to opportunities, and create a better world for all. #UnitedNations #SustainableDevelopment #GlobalCooperation #FutureForAll Follow us and stay tuned to learn more.

Reflecting on an UNGA SDG Lounge event last week hosted by UN Partnerships. The introductory conversation with Guy Ryder--Under-Secretary General for Policy prompted me to think more deeply about the SDG framework. Addressing the question of whether the SDGs were overly ambitious to begin with, or whether there were there just too many crises that got in the way of achieving them, Mr. Ryder optimistically emphasized the progress that has been made in the name of the SDGs regardless of whether that progress was as much as we aspired to in 2015. He also observed that failures are easy to point out, while the successes often remain hidden. While I very much admire this positive perspective, there is more to consider. As they stand, the SDGs are holistic and all-encompassing. I worry, however, that their overly-ambitious nature hinders long-term engagement and enthusiasm. In other words, checking off one box gives us the motivation we need to tackle the next box, it's human nature, incentivization, behavioral science. We are likely to check 0/17 boxes by 2030. In reference to the SMART goal framework, the SDGs are Specific, Measurable, Relevant and Time-bound, but not Achievable. How will we reignite the global fire for sustainable development when it looks like its been snuffed out? Would drafting more achievable goals make success more visible and catalyze further progress? How can we do this in a way that isn't perceived as downgrading or admitting defeat thereby stifling enthusiasm further? https://lnkd.in/ex6cbRdE UN at NYU

How do we make our organizations fit for purpose amidst global challenges? How do we support positive change for our people and institutions? Laurel Patterson and Otto Scharmer are leading the effort to answer these questions through #sdgintegration. They are using the #infrastructure of connection to advance the #2030 agenda. Can’t wait to listen in. #presencing #idgs #undp #2030agenda

Interested to hear how others view the post-2030 agenda for sustainable development - what are the big ideas out there? What was said at UNGA week? Thanks again to Francesco Fuso Nerini Kungliga Tekniska högskolan for taking the initiative to the commentary summarized below.

This will be a high level session about systems transformation.

⏩ Tracking the Global SDG Progress: 5 Key Takeaways  The global Sustainable Development Report (SDR) has been tracking the performance of all UN member states on their SDG progress since 2016. This year, SDR highlights five key findings: ❗ Only 16% of the SDG targets are on track to be met globally by 2030. The remaining 84% shows limited progress or reversal of progress. 📈 The pace of SDG progress varies significantly across country groups. Nordic countries lead on SDG achievement, BRICS countries make significant progress while poor and vulnerable nations lag behind. 💹 Long-term investment is a major challenge in accelerating sustainable development. 🤝 Global cooperation is key to addressing global challenges. Barbados ranks the highest in its commitment to UN-based multilateralism; the United States ranks last. 🌾 SDG targets related to food and land systems are particularly off-track. Are you surprised by the findings? Which SDG goals have your organization been addressing? Share your thoughts in the comments below!

Part of our work advancing #SDGintegration focuses on building infrastructures of connection. 📍 This is important, because realizing transformative change requires a fairly significant shift in attention from the “what” to the "how" of sustainable development. 🌿 This is the emphasis in the United Nations Secretary General UN 2.0 | United Nations ambition - characterized by renewed investments in a forward-thinking culture and skills suited for today’s interconnected, evolving risk landscape. 💡 How do we cultivate the conditions for this profound change? 🌏 I hope you can join us during UN 2.0 | United Nations week for an inspiring and thought-provoking discussion with Otto Scharmer and United Nations leaders working together so that we can be more effective contributors of systems change. 📍 Come hear more about how UNDP is co-creating spaces for collective enquiry through our #integrator mandate, and how United Nations leaders in our current initiative are cultivating conditions for change in their entities.  📅 24 April 12 noon - 1pm EST 👉 https://lnkd.in/eUj9BNa3 Otto Scharmer Kersten Jauer David Bearfield Paul Anderton Iina Paarma Sophia Robele Antoinette Klatzky Kelvy Bird Martin Kalungu-Banda Dorian Baroni Talea von Lupin
