![]() And the African Union is an obvious partner in this regard. The proposals will address the challenges faced by peacekeeping and recognize the need for a new generation of peace-enforcement missions and counter‑terrorist operations, led by regional forces, with guaranteed, predictable funding. It will set out a comprehensive approach to prevention and peacebuilding, linking peace, sustainable development, climate action and human rights, and drawing on the approaches and expertise of women and young people. It will take a holistic view of the peace continuum, from prevention, conflict resolution and peacekeeping to peacebuilding and sustainable long-term development. The proposals in the briefs will be strongly linked to the Sustainable Development Goals, responding to your observations during the five thematic consultations last year.Ī first brief on the New Agenda for Peace will offer proposals that address all forms and domains of threats, articulating a vision of our work on peace and security for a world in transition and a new era of geopolitical competition. Throughout this year, the Secretariat will issue a series of 11 policy briefs with concrete ideas for your consideration. My report includes many proposals we now need to look into the substance and detail. Our Common Agenda must build on the Sustainable Development Goals Summit. I repeat my call on G20 countries to agree on a global Sustainable Development Goals stimulus of at least $500 billion a year to support countries of the Global South, by the Sustainable Development Goals Summit. And it must include measures to ensure international systems relating to finance, trade, debt and technology work for developing countries – not against them.

The Sustainable Development Goals Summit in September will be the centrepiece of our work this year and must mark significant progress. We will only make up lost ground by addressing the gaps and challenges that have emerged since 2015 - including gaps in intergovernmental cooperation. ![]() Because, halfway to 2030, we are far off track. Today, we are here to start the job of moving the recommendations in Our Common Agenda from ideas to action - from abstract to concrete.Īt the outset, I want to stress that Our Common Agenda is aimed at turbocharging the 2030 Agenda and making the Sustainable Development Goals real in the lives of people everywhere. ![]() The fragmentation of our global response and the fragmentation of our world are feeding off each other. The present forms of multilateral governance, designed in and for a bygone era, are clearly not adequate to today’s complex, interconnected and rapidly changing and dangerous world. And yet, our collective problem-solving mechanisms do not match the pace or scale of the challenges. On climate, on conflict, on inequality, on food insecurity, on nuclear weapons - we are closer to the edge than ever. But, they are clearly only the beginning. The breakthrough on loss and damage the recognition on the right to a clean, healthy and sustainable environment the Transforming Education Summit the Global Accelerator on Jobs and Social Protection and the decision to establish a United Nations Youth Office are all significant steps towards the transformations we need. You have been fundamental to that progress. In the 18 months since the report on Our Common Agenda, we have made important progress.
