Human Rights Council Advances SDGs

The President of the United Nations Economic and Social Council, Ammar bin Jassim, emphasized that the current challenge facing the international community is not only to identify solutions but to accelerate the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals and achieve tangible results. A recent report revealed that only 36% of the goals are on track or making moderate progress, nearly half of the goals have seen limited advancement, and one out of every seven goals has regressed since 2015. He affirmed that attaining these goals requires comprehensive approaches involving governments and society, with a focus on data to identify the most marginalized groups and design appropriate responses. He also pointed out that challenges such as poverty, debt, climate vulnerability, and environmental degradation weaken development efforts. Furthermore, he stressed that cooperation between the Economic and Social Council and the Human Rights Council is essential to ensure holistic progress and to achieve equitable resources for development.
