The speaker welcomed participants to a regional knowledge exchange on implementing the 2030 Agenda. The exchange aims to provide an opportunity for countries to learn from each other's experiences in achieving the Agenda's goals of sustainable development and leaving no one behind. However, fully adhering to these principles presents challenges for developing and underdeveloped countries, as they still have large populations in need of assistance and face higher costs to reach isolated groups. The speaker believes countries can overcome these obstacles by reforming short-term decision making and integrating long-term development plans like the 2030 Agenda into their national strategies.

A NEW GLOBAL PARTNERSHIP: ERADICATE POVERTY AND TRANSFORM ECONOMIES THROUGH S...Dr Lendy Spires
Our vision and our responsibility are to end extreme poverty in all its forms in the context of sustainable development and to have in place the building blocks of sustained prosperity for all.” 1 The Panel came together with a sense of optimism and a deep respect for the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The 13 years since the millennium have seen the fastest reduction in poverty in human history: there are half a billion fewer people living below an international poverty line of $1.25 a day.
Child death rates have fallen by more than 30%, with about three million children’s lives saved each year compared to 2000. Deaths from malaria have fallen by one quarter. This unprecedented progress has been driven by a combination of economic growth, better policies, and the global commitment to the MDGs, which set out an inspirational rallying cry for the whole world. Given this remarkable success, it would be a mistake to simply tear up the MDGs and start from scratch. As world leaders agreed at Rio in 2012, new goals and targets need to be grounded in respect for universal human rights, and finish the job that the MDGs started.
Central to this is eradicating extreme poverty from the face of the earth by 2030. This is something that leaders have promised time and again throughout history. Today, it can actually be done. So a new development agenda should carry forward the spirit of the Millennium Declaration and the best of the MDGs, with a practical focus on things like poverty, hunger, water, sanitation, education and healthcare. But to fulfil our vision of promoting sustainable development, we must go beyond the MDGs. They did not focus enough on reaching the very poorest and most excluded people. They were silent on the devastating effects of conflict and violence on development.
The importance to development of good governance and institutions that guarantee the rule of law, free speech and open and accountable government was not included, nor the need for inclusive growth to provide jobs. Most seriously, the MDGs fell short by not integrating the economic, social, and environmental aspects of sustainable development as envisaged in the Millennium Declaration, and by not addressing the need to promote sustainable patterns of consumption and production. The result was that environment and development were never properly brought together. People were working hard – but often separately – on interlinked problems. So the Panel asked some simple questions: starting with the current MDGs, what to keep, what to amend, and what to add. In trying to answer these questions, we listened to the views of women and men, young people, parliamentarians, civil society organisations, indigenous people and local communities, migrants, experts, business, trade unions and governments.

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.

Opening Remarks by Undersecretary Rosemarie G. Edillon National Economic and Development Authority, Philippines
1. SALUTATIONS
Good morning! Welcome to Manila!
On behalf of Secretary Pernia, I welcome you to this
Regional Knowledge Exchange on Implementing the Agenda
2030
We are now on our second year of implementation of the
2030 Agenda and many of us have even presented our
voluntary national reports before the UN High Level Political
Forum. This knowledge exchange is about providing a
richer venue to learn from each other.
You may ask why should we learn from each other. Does
not the Agenda 2030 allow for “different strokes for different
folks”? I would say yes, but even then, we can benefit from
learning about each other’s experiences.
The Agenda 2030 is built on two principles: sustainable
development and leave no one behind. And they seem to be
the right things to do. However, this is not entirely
compatible with government protocol.
2. Let me begin with the second principle: leave no one behind;
how this presents a problem for governments in developing
and under-developed countries.
Agenda 2030 goes further by listing the people groups who
are being left behind with respect to a target and reminding
us to prioritize them. For instance,
2.3 By 2030, double the agricultural productivity and
incomes of small-scale food producers, in particular women,
indigenous peoples, family farmers, pastoralists and fishers,
including through secure and equal access to land, other
productive resources and inputs, knowledge, financial
services, markets and opportunities for value addition and
non-farm employment
11.2 By 2030, provide access to safe, affordable, accessible
and sustainable transport systems for all, improving road
safety, notably by expanding public transport, with special
attention to the needs of those in vulnerable situations,
women, children, persons with disabilities and older persons
3. Adhering to these targets is not much of a problem for
developed countries. Most probably, they are already at a
stage where they only need to care for those in the margins.
And those at the margins do not constitute a huge proportion
of the population. But for developing and especially under-
developed countries, there is still that large middle and still a
sizable bottom that require special attention. In addition,
developing and under-developed countries have to hurdle a
higher social discount rate. The example of providing
access to GIDAs (geographically isolated and disadvantaged
areas) comes to mind. Here, the cost of the infrastructure
may be very high, owing to distance from the center, terrain,
lack of local manpower, etc., and yet, may benefit only a few
households.
The second principle: sustainable development requires a
major governance reform. It requires moderating short-term
economic growth, which also means limiting the returns to
the current owners of capital and bearers of highly
specialized skills. But the short-term coincides with term of
most political administrations.
4. It is about ensuring that each segment of society and each
generation is accorded the best opportunity for development.
The short-term planning horizon of governments could be
the major obstacle to the successful implementation of
Agenda 2030.
I believe that many of us here face the same predicament.
But there are some of us who have found a way to address
these issues. Concerning the second issue, some countries
already have a long-term plan. In the case of the
Philippines, we have adopted a long-term vision. The
problem then becomes one of integrating the Agenda 2030
into the country’s development plan.
We have so much to learn from each other and I will no
longer take so much of our conference time. We would like
to thank the UNDP for providing us this venue. I wish us all
a productive exchange of knowledge and experiences on the
implementation of the Agenda 2030.
