When it comes to #sustainability , #SIDS face many challenges due to remoteness, narrow resource base and climate change. It was a pleasure to write and present the sustainable development strategy to strengthen #SDG awareness in #Aruba and #Curaçao last week for the #UN .

A UN report identifies actions to achieve sustainable development pathways

The report warns that under the business-as-usual development scenario, none of the #SDGs would be achieved, resulting in “decisively unsustainable” development by 2050 @sustdev

For the transition to a green economy the social implications will be drastic. The ability of governments to manage the multidimensional dynamics of a just transition is therefore critical. Check out the paper that I wrote for UNDP Global Policy Centre for Governance (OGC) on this topic… undp.org/policy-centre/…

“The SDG Progress Report shows that just 12% of the Sustainable Development Goal targets are on track.  
 
Progress on 50% is weak and insufficient.  
 
Worst of all, we have stalled or gone into reverse on more than 30% of the SDGs.” António Guterres briefing on SDG Report

The integration of #SouthSouth & #TriangularCooperation perspectives in the #VNRs helps to track progress in implementing the #2030Agenda . Excited to be working with UNOSSC on developing the handbook to help support this.
