Only 15% of SDG targets are on track, we learned in the 2023 SDG report: To address this, the UN will hold the SDG Summit on September 18-19 in New York focused on six leaders’ dialogues. The formal summit is preceded by an SDG mobilization day (Sept 16) and an SDG acceleration day (Sept 17). The Governments of Ireland and Qatar are co-facilitators to lead consultations on political declaration for the SDG Summit during the 77th session of the General Assembly.
Didn’t see this until all was said and done Peter but as someone who worked extensively on the overall approach to this Summit, I find the analysis quite insightful. We very much aimed to make this an acceleration Summit - with perhaps more emphasis on mobilizing more political and financial support for acceleration than zeroing in on what works. I think we succeeded in part but there is lots for us to now build on in the months ahead. Michael McManus
You emphasize the importance of tangible results and stress that achieving the SDGs is a shared responsibility. It's crucial for everyone to act urgently. Your prescription shows how any organization can use it to speed up progress and achieve measurable impacts. This is a vital step to realign with the SDGs and improve our world. Your insights greatly benefit WHO, and we appreciate your contribution.
