SDG progress ‘in danger’ of going backwards without change in direction, new UN report reveals







11 September 2019
SDGs


The current worldwide sustainable development model is threatening to reverse years of progress, if strategies don’t drastically change, an independent group of scientists has concluded in a major new report launched on Wednesday.


The UN report will be at the centre of discussions during the UN summit on the SDGs later this month.

Worsening inequalities and potentially irreversible damage to the natural environment on which we all depend, demands concerted action, the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs (DESA), urged in a statement on the report findings, compiled by a team of 15 UN-appointed experts.

“Achieving human well-being and eradicating poverty for all of the Earth’s people—expected to number 8.5 billion by 2030—is still possible,” they highlighted, “but only if there is a fundamental—and urgent—change in the relationship between people and nature.”

The report, “The Future is Now: Science for Achieving Sustainable Development,” points to understanding the relationships between individual SDGs and the “concrete systems that define society today” to devise a plan to ameliorate global instability.

At the request of countries to evaluate progress of the 2030 SDG Agenda, adopted in 2015, the Global Report on Sustainable Development (GDSR) consists of surveys on scientific findings from ocean livelihoods, to sustainable consumption, production, and disaster risk management, among other issues.
Science-backed recommendations


The current roadmap for development has generated prosperity for “hundreds of millions,” the scientists said, but at the cost of other resources and a growing inequality that undermines global growth.

Boosting economies via increasing consumption for example, is exhausting the planet’s materials and creating toxic by-products which threaten to overwhelm the world. At the current rate of consumption, “use of material is set to almost double between 2017 and 2060, from 89 Gigatons to 167 Gigatons”, resulting in consequential “increased levels of greenhouse gas emissions, and other toxic effects” from resource extraction, they stressed.

The status quo must change, scientists said, in order to eschew further loss in “social cohesion and sustainable economic growth,” curb biodiversity losses, and save a “world close to tipping points with the global climate system.”

For this to happen, all sectors must come together in coordinated action, the report urges. Increasing investment in science for sustainability, is one key approach, and acknowledging that achievement of the SDGs requires economic growth be divorced from environmental degradation, while reducing inequalities.

The experts noted that “the extensive transformation that is needed will not be easy, and the report suggests that a deep scientific understanding is needed to anticipate and mitigate the tensions and trade-offs inherent in widespread structural change.”
Key points of intervention

According to the report, there are 20 points of intervention that can be used to accelerate progress toward multiple goals and targets in the next ten years.

Among these, basic services must be made universally available—healthcare, education, water and sanitation infrastructure, housing and social protection— as a prerequisite” toward eliminating poverty.

In addition, ending legal and social discrimination, scaling up trades unions, nongovernmental organizations, women’s groups and other communities will “be important partners in efforts to implement the 2030 Agenda”, the experts said.

Inefficient food and energy systems are depriving some 2 billion people of food security, while 820 million are undernourished, and 2 billion adults are overweight. Production processes are causing severe environmental impact.

Transitioning to renewable energy systems could help reduce the 3 billion who rely on pollutants for cooking, and avoid premature deaths, estimated at 3.8 million each year, they cited. Meanwhile, the energy access gap has left close to one billion without access to electricity at all. Increases in renewable energy supply in the past decade have corresponded with price drops in clean fuel technology—around 77 per cent for solar power and a 38 per cent drop for onshore wind.

With an estimated two-thirds of the global population projected to live in cities by 2050, the experts said achieving the 2030 Agenda will require “more compact and efficient” urban areas that will be nature-based in infrastructure—but the ecosystem’s services and resources “must be safeguarded.”

What the scientists call “the global environmental commons” - the rainforests, oceans, and atmosphere - need support from governments, international actors and the private sector to ensure good practices.

The full report and its recommendations will be presented during the High-Level Political Forum at the 2019 SDG Summit that will convene heads of State and Government in New York on 24 and 25 September.

Министр иностранных дел Азербайджана Эльмар Мамедъяров выступил в Генассамблеи ООН

ООН


Азербайджан поддерживает инициативы главы ООН по предупреждению войн и поддержанию мира, привержен выполнению Целей устойчивого развития и продвигает идеи мультикультурализма. Об этом заявил министр иностранных дел Азербайджана Эльмар Мамедъяров, выступая в ходе общих прений 73-й сессии Генассамблеи. При этом он напомнил об «оккупации Арменией» одной пятой территории Азербайджана и призвал международное сообщество «усилить давление на Ереван, чтобы добиться выполнения соответствующих резолюций Совета Безопасности».

Министр иностранных дел Азербайджана рассказал с трибуны Генассамблеи об успехах его страны в развитии экономики и ее участии в многочисленных региональных проектах – строительстве транспортных коридоров, объектов инфраструктуры и создании высокотехнологичных коммуникационных магистралей.

По его словам, устойчивый экономический рост позволяет Азербайджану оказывать помощь развивающимся странам, а также государствам, которые справляются с последствиями стихийных бедствий. Азербайджан, по его словам, борется с коррупцией и активно сотрудничает с правозащитными механизмами ООН.

Глава МИД Азербайджана сообщил, что Баку претендует на проведение международной выставки «ЭКСПО – 2025» и призвал страны, которым в ноябре предстоит определить победителя, поддержать кандидатуру Азербайджана. «Страны Восточной Европы, Кавказа и бассейна Каспия никогда не принимали у себя ЭКСПО», - сообщил Мамедъяров, подчеркнув, что избрание Баку позволит расширить географию проведения выставки.

По словам министра, Азербайджан как «один из признанных центров мультикультурализма» провел многочисленные международные мероприятия, направленные на укрепление межкультурного диалога. «Представители всех этнических и религиозных групп проживают в Азербайджане в мире и гармонии», - подчеркнул он.

Вместе с тем, глава МИД Азербайджана напомнил, что пятая часть территории его страны находится «под оккупацией со стороны Армении», а «один из девяти жителей страны является беженцем или внутренним переселенцем». Он призвал международное сообщество оказать давление на власти Армении, чтобы добиться немедленного выполнения соответствующих резолюций Совета Безопасности ООН.

«Новое руководство Армении должно понимать, что его обещания армянскому народу о превращении Армении в экономически развитое и процветающее государство невозможно выполнить, не установив мир и добрые взаимоотношения с соседями, не уважая их суверенитет и территориальную целостность», - подчеркнул Эльмар Мамедъяров.

Как заявил министр, в Азербайджане считают, что не существует «альтернативы миру, стабильности и взаимовыгодному региональному сотрудничеству».

В ООН представили предварительную глобальную повестку дня на период после 2015 года








04.12.2014 — В четверг Генеральный секретарь ООН Пан Ги Мун представил государствам-членам предварительный текст обобщенного доклада о целях устойчивого развития на период с 2015 по 2030 годы. Он называется «Путь к достойной жизни: покончим с голодом, преобразуем жизнь всех людей и защитим планету». Глава ООН призвал начать новую эру устойчивого развития, в центре которого был бы человек, защита его прав и сохранение планеты, на которой мы живем.

«В следующем году у нас появится беспрецедентная возможность предпринять далеко идущие действия по обеспечению нашего благополучия, необходимость в которых назрела уже давно», - заявил Пан Ги Мун, представляя новые предложения на суд государств-членов ООН. Они станут основой для переговоров, которые должны увенчаться принятием глобальной повестки дня на следующие пятнадцать лет, начиная с 2015 года.

В этот период человечество должно добиться выполнения 17 задач в таких областях, как ликвидация нищеты, борьба с голодом, охрана здоровья, обеспечение гендерного равноправия, борьба с изменением климата, стимулирование экономического роста и создание рабочих мест, улучшение доступа к современным источникам энергии, расширение услуг в области водоснабжения и санитарии.

Они придут на смену Целям тысячелетия в области развития, которые мировые лидеры приняли в 2000 году. Тогда они поставили восемь конкретных задач в области сокращения бедности, материнской и детской смертности, обеспечения доступа к образованию, водоснабжению и санитарии, борьбы с инфекционными заболеваниями и защиты окружающей среды.

Генеральный секретарь напомнил делегатам, что процесс разработки новых целей носил беспрецедентно инклюзивный характер, и добавил, что в его докладе содержатся «контуры универсальной революционной глобальной повестки дня, в центре которой находятся люди и планета, которая опирается на права человека и глобальное сотрудничество».

«В том, что касается развития, мы находимся на пороге самого важного года, начиная с создания самой Организации Объединенных Наций, - говорится в докладе Генерального секретаря. - Мы должны придать новый смысл обещанию «вновь утвердить веру в основные права человека, в достоинство и ценность человеческой личности», и вывести мир на путь устойчивого развития. Нам дана историческая возможность - и обязанность - срочно предпринять смелые и решительные действия с тем, чтобы наполнить достоинством жизнь всех людей, никого не оставляя за бортом».

В течение ближайших месяцев государствам предстоит договориться об окончательных параметрах повестки дня на период после 2015 года. Пан Ги Мун приветствовал усилия Открытой рабочей группы, которая сформулировала 17 целей в области устойчивого развития и 169 конкретных показателей, достижение которых поможет покончить с бедностью, достичь всеобщего благоденствия и защитить планету.

МИД Израиля потребовал скорректировать проект итоговой резолюции саммита G20


17 НОЯ, 14:02


Израильский министр иностранных дел Гидеон Саар назвал документ "несбалансированным и предвзятым"

ТЕЛЬ-АВИВ, 17 ноября. /ТАСС/. Израильский министр иностранных дел Гидеон Саар назвал "несбалансированным и предвзятым" проект итоговой резолюции встречи Группы двадцати (G20) на высшем уровне. Он потребовал его скорректировать, закрепив в тексте "право Израиля на самооборону", прописав в нем требование освободить удерживаемых в секторе Газа израильских заложников и добавив осуждение действий радикального палестинского движения ХАМАС и ливанской шиитской организации "Хезболлах".

"В преддверии встречи лидеров стран "двадцатки" на этой неделе в Рио-де-Жанейро я провел серию телефонных разговоров с министрами иностранных дел государств - участников форума с учетом полученной информации о проекте итоговой резолюции, который является несбалансированным и предвзятым по отношению к Израилю. В беседах с коллегами я сказал, что в итоговое заявление по поводу войны в нашем регионе уместно включить признание права Израиля на самооборону, требование освобождения всех похищенных, удерживаемых убийцами из ХАМАС более 400 дней в ужасающих условиях, а также осуждение ХАМАС и "Хезболлах", - сообщил министр, слова которого распространила пресс-служба МИД.

По версии Саара, "любое итоговое заявление, не включающее вышеперечисленные элементы, нанесет ущерб миру и безопасности и побудит Иран и его пособников продолжать дестабилизировать Ближний Восток".

Саммит G20 пройдет 18-19 ноября в Рио-де-Жанейро на юго-востоке Бразилии. Председателем встречи выступит президент южноамериканской республики Луис Инасиу Лула да Силва. Делегацию России возглавит министр иностранных дел Сергей Лавров.

In Briefing to Security Council, Committee Chairs Report on Counter-Terrorism Activities, as Speakers Stress Need for Coordination in Fight against Scourge



9784th Meeting (AM)
SC/15899


As the Security Council took up the annual briefing from the chairs of its three counter-terrorism committees today, speakers underscored the urgent need for unity and coordination among the three bodies to strengthen the collective response against terrorist groups whose growing influence and expansion continues to threaten international peace and stability.

Vanessa Frazier (Malta), Chair of the Security Council Committee established pursuant to resolutions 1267 (1999), 1989 (2011) and 2253 (2015) concerning Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), also known as Da’esh, Al-Qaida and associated individuals, groups, undertakings and entities, cited the Monitoring Team’s July report, which noted many Member States’ heightened concern about the threat from ISIL-Khorasan in Afghanistan and their terrorist attacks outside the country.  Detailing ISIL’s operations in West Africa and the Sahel, as well as terrorist groups’ activities in other parts of Africa and Syria, she reported that Al-Qaida’s affiliates, including Jama‘at Nusrat al-Islam wal-Muslimin in West Africa, have expanded their influence, destabilizing the region and pushing into northern coastal areas to secure resources and logistical routes.

“Overall, ISIL and Al-Qaida have proven resilient in the face of counter-terrorism efforts, adapting by utilizing modern technology to improve their weaponry, communication, and ability to circumvent global counter-terrorism measures,” she said.  Further, ISIL's use of cryptocurrencies and digital platforms as a means of financing is a growing concern for Member States and is a serious challenge when tracing funds and sanctions implementation.  She encouraged Member States to review the Monitoring Team's periodic reports, available on the Committee's website, for a more detailed analysis.

The adoption of resolution 2734 (2024) in June reaffirmed the assets freeze, travel ban and arms embargo against those on the ISIL and Al Qaida sanctions list and extended the mandates of the Monitoring Team and the Office of the Ombudsperson for 36 months, she continued. “Given the ongoing global terrorist threat posed by ISIL, Al-Qaida, and their affiliates, it is crucial to maintain the 1267 sanctions regime as a high priority on the global counter-terrorism agenda,” she underscored.  Thus, Member States should continue to propose designations to the sanctions list and submit updated or additional information without delay.  “Such collaboration is essential to maintaining the accuracy of the sanctions list and ensuring the sanctions regime's effectiveness,” she said.

Amar Bendjama (Algeria), Chair of the Security Council Committee established pursuant to resolution 1373 (2001) concerning counterterrorism, said that the Committee, with the support of its Executive Directorate, has continued to assist Member States and other relevant parties and organizations in addressing the threat posed by terrorist groups, which, he warned, continuously adapt to counter-terrorism measures and efforts. From November 2023 to date, the Counter-Terrorism Committee Executive Directorate visited Kazakhstan, Malawi, Mauritania, Montenegro, the United Republic of Tanzania and Thailand. Considering the evolving threat in the Gulf of Guinea, the Executive Directorate is currently conducting regional follow-up visits to Ghana, Côte d’Ivoire and Togo.  These visits provide an effective vehicle for direct and constructive engagement and dialogue between the Committee and Member States on progress and challenges, he said.

The Committee is also focused on delivering technical assistance to States in need, he said, detailing its close partnership with the Office of Counter-Terrorism and the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), among others.  In a follow-up to the Delhi Declaration on countering the use of new and emerging technologies for terrorist purposes, the Committee adopted the Abu Dhabi Non-Binding Guiding Principles that addresses threats posed by the use of unmanned aircraft systems for terrorist purposes.  More so, he emphasized, Member States must ensure that any measures taken to counter terrorism comply with all their obligations under international law, in particular international human rights, refugee and humanitarian law.

Andrés Montalvo Sosa (Ecuador), Chair of the Security Council Committee established pursuant to resolution 1540 (2004) said, while the Committee’s 2022 Comprehensive Review shows States made significant progress in implementing resolution 1540 (2004), “the full and effective implementation of resolution 1540 remains a long-term task”.  Since the Committee’s mandate renewal under resolution 2663 (2022) for 10 years, it has assisted Member States in strengthening their national capacity, including by participating in 32 outreach events organized by States and international, regional and subregional organizations and relevant civil society.  Further, 185 countries have, since 2004, submitted reports to the Committee with information on measures taken or to be taken to implement resolution 1540 (2004), with 155 Member States having nominated their National Points of Contact to the Committee, nine of which were done for the first time in the past year.

He also noted the submission to the Committee by 35 countries of 47 voluntary National Implementation Action Plans which help to identify Member States’ priorities and their plans for implementing key provisions of the resolution, including regulations and national control frameworks activities, fostering interagency cooperation and identifying areas where assistance may be required.  He underscored the importance of further developing and strengthening the Committee’s communications to support Member States, adding that a cooperative approach and dialogue with Member States and relevant international, regional and subregional organizations remain cornerstones of the Committee’s activities.

In the ensuing debate, Council members voiced alarm about terrorist groups’ ability to adapt to counter-terrorism measures, with Japan’s representative underlining the importance of the 1373 Committee’s continued focus on new and emerging technologies.  He also voiced concern that the 1540 Committee has not filled the vacant position in the Group of Experts [which plays a key role in monitoring national obligations to prevent non-State actors’ possession of weapons of mass destruction].  He called for Committee members’ responsible action to resolve this situation, including refraining from obstructionism.

On that, the United States’ representative stated that the Russian Federation has consistently obstructed the 1540 Committee’s Group of Experts’ work due to unfounded claims, undermining the global non-proliferation regime.  His country will continue to utilize sanctions to stop ISIL and Al-Qaida’s expansion.  However, the 1267 Committee has not designated any individuals or entities since last year in large part due to political obstacles.  That Committee’s important work must remain free from politicisation, he emphasized.

To those concerns, Ecuador’s representative, speaking in his national capacity, reported that in February the Committee approved the appointment of five candidates to the 1540 Committee’s Group of Experts to fill six posts.  In the next weeks, States will see progress on another selection process for three experts, he said.

“The 1267 ISIL and Al Qaida sanctions regime is a critical tool for the Security Council and the international community to support counter-terrorism and effectively implement the Council's decisions,” underscored Slovenia’s representative.  Adding to that, France’s representative declared:  “It is the responsibility of this Council to fully harness the means provided by this resolution to ensure that terrorists are sanctioned, and these sanctions are respected.”  She also expressed support for the 1540 Committee’s finetuning its assistance mechanisms and for preparing voluntary technical guidance on how to implement that resolution.

Switzerland’s delegate also underscored the importance of targeted sanctions against Da’esh, Al-Qaida and their affiliates, adding that country assessments — which should have more targeted recommendations, integrated hybrid visits and gender-sensitive approaches — are essential for strengthening Member States’ capacities to prevent and combat violent extremism and terrorism in full compliance with international law. 

Echoing other speakers who called for enhanced collaboration among the three Committees, Mozambique’s delegate, stressed that urgent enhanced, effective, and sustained coordination is needed to fight against the challenges posed by the expansion of Al-Qaida and ISIL and their adaptation to modern technology.  Guyana’s representative urged Member States to engage with and provide updated information to the 1267 Committee and the Monitoring Team on the evolving nature of the terrorist threat, listed individuals and entities.

Speakers also pointed to the difficulties in tackling terrorist financing, with Sierra Leone’s representative emphasizing the importance of financial sector legislation to counter diverse funding sources and blockchain misuse.  To that, the Republic of Korea’s delegate said that his country will financially contribute to the Counter-Terrorism Committee to strengthen oversight and accountability mechanisms in Asia.  Moreover, States must address proliferation threats emanating from emerging technologies, including those related to nuclear weapons and missiles, which can be stolen through cyber activities, he stressed. 

Striking a contrasting perspective, the Russian Federation’s representative urged focus on the Counter-Terrorism Committee’s efforts in monitoring States’ implementation of the relevant Security Council resolutions. The desire to ensure a degree of synergy between the three Committees would be artificial and counterproductive. Moreover, “the terrorist activity in a number of African countries, to a large extent caused by the socio-economic consequences of the colonial and neo-colonial policies of Western countries”, she pointed out.

China’s speaker urged the 1267 Committee to remain objective, impartial and professional, dealing with listing and delisting issues in a responsible manner while maintaining the authority and effectiveness of the sanction’s regime.  Meanwhile, the Counter-Terrorism Committee should focus on its core mandates and direct its resources to supporting developing countries to enhance their counterterrorism capacity-building.  For the 1540 committee, its twentieth anniversary should enable it to learn from its experiences and promote the comprehensive balance and sustainable implementation of relevant Council resolutions, she added. 

Speaking in his national capacity, the United Kingdom’s representative, Council President for November, said the report by the Investigation and Identification Team of the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), earlier this year of the chemical weapons attack in Marea, Syria in 2015, which held Da’esh responsible “is just one demonstration of why coordination between these three Committees remains so important”.  Highlighting their achievements, he underscored the need to therein work together to protect citizens, prevent the spread of terrorism and ensure the safe and secure development of chemical, nuclear and life-sciences industries globally.

Unanimously Adopting Resolution 2758 (2024), Security Council Renews Sanctions, Panel of Experts concerning Yemen



9782nd Meeting (AM)
SC/15896


The Security Council today decided to renew for 12 months a travel ban and assets freeze imposed on certain designated individuals and entities in Yemen and to extend for 13 months the mandate of the Panel of Experts tasked with assisting the Council’s Yemen Sanctions Committee.

The Council, acting under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations, unanimously adopted resolution 2758 (2024) (to be issued as document S/RES/2758(2024)) and decided to renew, until 15 November 2025, the above measures, which were initially imposed by resolution 2140 (2014).

Further, the Council decided to extend the mandate of the Panel of Experts established by that resolution until 15 December 2025, also expressing its intention to review this mandate and take appropriate action regarding further extension no later than 15 November 2025. 

Through the resolution, the 15-nation organ additionally requested the Panel of Experts to provide a midterm update to the relevant committee no later than 15 April 2025 as well as a final report to the Council no later than 15 October 2025 that includes information related to the illicit transfer and diversion of conventional weapons and to commercially available components used by designated individuals or entities to assemble certain weapons systems.

Following the adoption, the representative of the United Kingdom, Council President for November, welcomed the Council’s show of unity and stressed that the organ’s continuing positive engagement is crucial to rejuvenating Yemen’s peace process.  This demonstration of consensus makes clear that the Council values the role that resolution 2140 (2014) plays in maintaining pressure on the Houthis, who continue to block the pathway to peace, she observed.

However, despite joining consensus, the United States’ representative expressed regret that the Council did not adopt further measures to degrade the Houthis’ capabilities.  One such measure — recommended by the Panel of Experts — would have enhanced the international community’s ability to address their aggression in the Red Sea, which is enabled by the provision of arms and other material from State and non-State actors.  However, this “common-sense recommendation” was not considered “due to threats from one Security Council member, with the help of another permanent member, to veto efforts to strengthen the sanctions”, he said.

The Russian Federation’s representative, meanwhile, observed that the “technical roll-over” preserves the Council’s unity on the Yemen file, stressing that Council restrictions are meant to support stabilization — rather than serve as a tool to punish “troublesome political forces in the country”.  He further rejected an expansive interpretation of sanctions resolutions that do not stipulate the inspection of vessels bound for Yemen on the high seas or the transfer of military products confiscated during inspections to third countries.

For his part, China’s representative said that the extension of relevant sanctions measures is “both necessary and appropriate”. Noting that his country has always maintained that sanctions “are a means, not an end”, he urged the Council to improve diplomatic efforts towards a comprehensive political process in Yemen.  Observing that tensions in the Red Sea are a manifestation of the Gaza conflict’s spillover, he called for an immediate ceasefire in the Strip.

“An immediate and permanent ceasefire in Gaza remains a critical first step toward lasting peace in the region,” stressed the representative of Guyana, also speaking for Algeria, Mozambique and Sierra Leone.  Expressing concern over the impact of illegal attacks against humanitarian workers and vessels in the Red Sea on Yemen’s political road map, she voiced support for enhancing the capacity of the Yemeni Coast Guard.

The representative of the Republic of Korea, Chair of the Security Council Committee established pursuant to resolution 2140 (2014) concerning Yemen, welcomed the Panel of Experts’ mandate renewal and noted its critical role in sanctions monitoring.  He added:  “Today’s unanimous adoption of this resolution is a clear and united message from the Security Council that we are closely looking at all developments on the ground — and the existing sanctions must be maintained and implemented.”
