17. Challenges:
• Trade wars
• Bellicose rhetoric and the deliberate erosion of international
institutions
• Coronavirus crisis
• Wide ranging and explicit targets aimed at governments and civil
society

18. Conclusion:
• SDG 17 is perhaps the most important and most versatile of the UN’s
Sustainable Development Goals, as it focuses on the means by which to
achieve the other goals listed.
• Stepping up for the collaboration and partnerships for a revival of
multilateralism is the best route for tackling both the pandemic and the
still ongoing climate crisis.
• There is also a call to improve access to science, technology and
innovation, with a particular focus on “environmentally sound
technologies” that can help developing countries build capacity to
implement the SDGs.
• Nepal also needs technological support including smart technology
for small-scale agro-based entrepreneurs and low carbon emission
engineering for its industries.
