國際NGO聯合組織,提交聯合國之重點摘要
The 2030 Agenda and its Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are at breaking point due to lack of political will in the face of overlapping, multidimensional crises fueled by misdirected and short-term decision-making. Misguided economic approaches have increased debt and inflation; deepened social inequalities; and fueled violence, conflict, and displacement. Our environment has been severely degraded and exploited, resulting in devastating climate change, biodiversity loss and pollution. COVID-19’s persistent impacts include socioeconomic ramifications and constrictions in civic and democratic space globally, while inaction to address underlying causes of zoonotic diseases risks future disease outbreaks and pandemics. This confluence of crises is driving us further from solutions to achieve the 2030 Agenda’s commitments, and opportunities for reversing this trajectory have narrowed. Without urgent, transformative, and bold policy action, human, animal and environmental health and wellbeing face a catastrophic future. Against these immense and persistent challenges, civil society plays a key role in the implementation, monitoring, follow-up, and review of the 2030 Agenda, not only in multilateral spaces but also at national, regional, and local levels. Civil society is a consistent partner in meeting the ambitions of the 2030 Agenda and delivering transformation.
In this context, we call for the following:
● SDG1:Reduceextreme and multidimensional poverty through bold economic reforms, increasing investment in universal social protection, and building community resilience to economic, environmental, health and other shocks through participatory approaches.
● SDG2:Adopt“whole-of-food-systems” approaches supporting youth, smallholders, Indigenous People and rural women to address nutrition security; food waste and loss; agroecology; healthy, sustainable diets; human rights; animal welfare; and urban-rural equity.
● SDG13:Transition to renewable energy; restoring land; expanding climate finance and education; building sustainable, resilient infrastructure; engaging Indigenous and local communities; and implementing traditional knowledge and practices to foster resilience.
● SDG16:Fully implement international law, including human rights and humanitarian law; taking concrete measures to reduce all forms of violence, and strengthening institutional accountability by improving democratic participation in decision-making at all levels.
● SDG17:Transform resource mobilization and financing by reforming the international financial architecture and upholding commitments, and strengthening multilateralism and cooperation across stakeholders, fostering trust, social cohesion, and equity.
● Commitment to combat racism; all forms of discrimination; xenophobia and related intolerance; stigmatization; and hate speech through cooperation, partnerships, inclusion, and respect for diversity.
● Effective and meaningful civil society participation.
● Delivery of financing commitments to ensure implementation of the 2030 Agenda, with a clear prioritization of funds to be allocated to local community action.
● Prioritization of multilingualism as a core value of the UN.
● Recognition of the interconnectedness of humans, animals and the environment to support the health, wellbeing and flourishing of all.
● Concerted collaboration at all levels among Member States, civil society, academia and the UN to address and overcome key challenges in SDG implementation, monitoring and review during the 2024 HLPF, the Summit of the Future, the 2025 World Summit for Social Development, and the 4th International Conference on Financing for Development.
