, world leaders have gathered at the United Nations in New York for a High-Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development in an effort to chart the best way forward to bring the implementation of the 17 SDGs back on track.
“We know the pandemic is not yet over and it had a detrimental impact on societies and people. It has slowed down the implementation of the 2030 agenda and the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals reversed progress on many SDGs. But at the same time, the pandemic has served as a wake-up call in exposing many aspects of our societies which were not right.
“The VNRs also highlight the pressing challenges of food insecurity and climate change. Some countries have reported an increase in droughts and floods, a reduction in biodiversity, erratic rainfalls, and local swarms that have decimated crop yields and affected the livelihoods of rural communities. Across all countries, women, young people, and children were the most vulnerable.
