5. Sustainability and Climate Change Dimension
The most universal dimension is, of course, the sustainability dimension.
The global climate change perspective. Everything we do has to be
sustainable. Sustainability is absolutely crucial. And universality and
sustainability come together. We are in dire need of a very strong
advocacy/knowledge about these goals. To welfare the most vulnerable
countries, is in fact in the interest of developed countries.
6. We live in a day and age of
complete different
communications
possibilities. We need to
have the support of the
people, and the
knowledge of the people
of these goals. They
should know that the
member states have
signed on to these
objectives. And therefore,
the advocacy for the goals,
and the study of the goals
and them becoming living
realities for a civil society,
for the scientific
community, the
academic world, the
private sector, you and
me. It's absolutely crucial.
7. The most important
thing is the
implementation of the
goals to turn them into
reality not only on the
international arenas, but
also on the national and
even the local levels.
The implementation,
the realization of these
goals is absolutely
crucial.
8. The goals now are
containing such issues
like transfer of
technology, the great
challenge of migration.
We have the issue of
urbanization, 60% of
humanity living in cities,
with what that implies in
terms of pressure on
resources and
infrastructure.
Industrialization much
needed for countries in
Africa to move from
exporting raw material to
advancing their own
industry.
All this is a much more
dynamic set of goals.
But these new goals are
all universal.
9. The future is the horizon and the
vision. Our life needs to have a horizon
and a vision. To deal with the challenges
we have, we have to have a horizon
and vision. "The future is also the step
we take tomorrow." In other words, we
need a vision in order to take the right
steps. And the vision is set by these
new goals, ie, SDGs.
All of us need to take these steps to ensure that the vision is being reached.
Everybody have to play his role individually, locally, nationally &
internationally.
10. The Sustainable
Development Goals(SDGs)
being a reflection of the
situation in the world
today; reflect that we need
peace, development,
respect of human rights
and rule of law. Because
these goals are
transformational
representing a new way of
thinking. These can be said
too many goals; & complex
ones." Actually, they are
complex, & many, because
the world is complex.
