    17 SDG PDF

    The document discusses the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) which contain 17 goals aimed at achieving sustainable development globally by 2030. Some of the key goals addressed are reducing poverty and hunger, ensuring health, education, gender equality, clean water and sanitation, economic growth and infrastructure development. The document argues that the SDGs fall short in three aspects: comprehensively addressing inequality within and between countries, being truly universal, and prioritizing reducing inequality. It suggests national governments must prioritize concerns, set ambitious but realistic national and interim targets to achieve the SDGs, and cost specific action plans to inform budget and aid negotiations.

    Review of Targets for the Sustainable Development Goals:
    The Science Perspective
    (2015)
    “Poverty eradication is the greatest
    global challenge and an
    indispensable requirement for
    sustainable development.”

    First among 169: by 2030, eradicate


    extreme poverty for all people
    everywhere, currently measured as
    people living on less than $1.25 a day.
    “…societies are increasingly
    under pressure from rising
    income inequality.” (WEF)

    “The most important problem we are


    facing now, today, is rising inequality.”
    Robert Shiller (2013)

    “Growing inequality is one of the


    biggest social, economic and
    political challenges of our time.”
    (2012)
    SDG context
     World no longer unipolar
     Narrative weakened
     Emerging countries – G20, BRICS,
    BASIC, NDB, AIIB, SRF
     Dominance of the West being
    challenged
    SDGs fall short on 3 aspects
    1. Three C’s
    10.7: Facilitate orderly, safe, regular and
    responsible migration and mobility of people,
    including through the implementation of
    planned and well-managed migration policies.
    “Le refus de compter fait rarement le jeu
    des plus pauvres.”

    “Refusing to deal with numbers rarely


    serves the interests of the least well-off.”

    (2013)
    SDGs fall short on 3 aspects
    1. Three C’s
    2. Universality
    Global ≠ Universal
    SDGs fall short on 3 aspects
    1. Three C’s
    2. Universality
    3. Inequality
    Goal 10: Reduce inequality
    within and among countries
    10.1: By 2030, progressively achieve and sustain
    income growth of the bottom 40 per cent of the
    population at a rate higher than the national
    average.
    SDGs ≠ universal
    SDGs ≠ equity agenda
    “A reliable way to make
    people believe in
    falsehoods is frequent
    repetition, because
    familiarity is not easily
    distinguished from truth.”
    Taking SDGs to country level
    1. Prioritize areas of concern
    2. Set national targets – balance ambition with
    realism
    3. Set interim targets – political accountability
    4. Translate step #3 into specific actions/
    reforms over next 3-5 years
    5. Cost step #4 to inform national budget
    and aid/debt negotiations
     possibly 1 or 2 iterations
     Steps 1-3 are political; 4-5 technical
