SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS Everyone, Everywhere!

…The way to go “I am truly convinced that we must act now to slow the alarming pace of climate change, which poses an unprecedented threat to humanity. And we must act now to profoundly transform the ways our economies work, and the SDGs is the way to go”. Ban Ki Moon (UN-Sec.Gen)

High Level Panel…Post-2015 Agenda The High Level Panel on Post-2015 finally came up with 17- goals with the financing aspect known as #FFD3 (Financing for Future Development). The 17 Sustainable Development Goals and 169 targets. The Transition from MDGs to SDGs revolves around a clear road map with central transitional mandates; these are They seek to build on the Millennium Development Goals and complete what they did not achieve. The criteria set out in the Rio+20 outcomes, namely that they be “action-oriented, concise and easy to communicate; limited in number; aspirational; global in nature; and universally applicable to all countries.”

“Transforming our world: The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development”. The sustainable development goals (SDGs) are a sets of 17 goals with 169 targets designed to complete the uncompleted mission of the MDGs and to advance the achievement of sustainable development in and across communities, countries and peoples of all class in an all-inclusive transformative shift, shifting from ‘reducing’ or ‘halving’ of the MDGs from to ‘ending’ or ‘zeroing’ of the SDGs from

SDGs… global in nature and universally applicable The Sustainable Development Goals (17-goals) and targets (169- targets) are integrated and indivisible, global in nature and universally applicable, taking into account different national realities, capacities and levels of development and respecting national policies and priorities. Targets are defined as aspirational and global, with each Government setting its own national targets guided by the global level of ambition but taking into account national circumstances. Each Government will also decide how these aspirational and global targets should be incorporated into national planning processes, policies and strategies. It is important to recognize the link between sustainable development and other relevant ongoing processes in the economic, social and environmental fields.

The Transformative Shift… Five (5) major transformational shifts: Moving from “reducing” or “halving” to “ending” or “zeroing” extreme poverty, advancing from “every woman, every child” to “everyone, everywhere”, (Leaving no one behind); Shifting from “adopting” to “owning” the process, (putting sustainable development at the core of the development agenda); Moving from “generic economic growth” to “specific inclusive growth”, (transforming economies to drive inclusive growth; building accountable institutions, open to all, that will ensure good governance and peaceful societies); and Advancing from “develop global partnership for development” to “strengthening global partnership for sustainable development”, (forging a new global partnership based on cooperation, equity and human rights).

The Clusters… As countries around the world embrace, adopt, domestic, and own the process of the implementation of the SDGs, it is pertinent to note that the SDGs as a development agenda is a plan of action for people, planet and prosperity. It also seeks to strengthen universal peace in larger freedom while strengthening partnerships for sustainable development.

The Clusters…Five-Pees (5Ps) People: All people must be determined to end poverty and hunger, in all it forms and dimensions, and to ensure that all human beings can fulfill their potential in dignity and equality and in a healthy environment. Planet: All people must be determined to protect the planet (environment) from degradation, including through sustainable consumption and production, sustainably managing its natural resources and taking urgent action on climate change, so that it can support the needs of the present and future generations. Prosperity: All people, countries and their governments must be determined to ensure that all human beings can enjoy prosperous and fulfilling lives and that economic, social and technological progress occurs in harmony with nature. Peace: All people and nations regardless of differences in race, colour, language, religion, technological advancement, or geographical boundaries must be determined to foster peaceful, just and inclusive societies which are free from fear and violence. There can be no sustainable development without peace and no peace without sustainable development. Partnership: All people and nations must be determined to mobilize the means required to implement the SDGs as a development agenda through a revitalized Global Partnership for Sustainable Development, based on a spirit of strengthened global solidarity, focused in particular on the needs of the poorest and most vulnerable and with the participation of all countries, all stakeholders and all people.

The Interactions… “The interactions, inter-linkages, and integrated nature of the Sustainable Development Goals are of crucial importance in ensuring that the purpose of the new Agenda is realized which is a transition from ‘reducing’ (MDGs Agenda) to ‘ending’ (SDGs Agenda). If we realize our ambitions across the full extent of the Agenda, the lives of all will be profoundly improved and our world will be transformed for the better”…UN-Sec. Gen. Ban Ki Moon (2015)

The Interactions… The interactions and inter-linkages of the SDGs can be seen in the social, economic, and environmental dimension of sustainable development for which there is an interaction and intersection of the SDGs between PEOPLE and PLANET, between PEOPLE and PROSPERITY, between PLANET and PROSPERITY, and that PEOPLE, PLANET, and PROSPERITY interacts and intersects at PEACE and PARTNERSHIP. This illustration clearly demonstrates the interconnectivity and the interdependent nature of all the 17 goals showing that achieving a particular goal of the SDGs helps in achieving the other goal(s).

SDGs and Advocacy… The NYSC/SDGs Advocacy programme provides tools and opportunities for all stakeholders especially serving Corps Members to participate and engage in the sensitization, awareness creation and domestication of the possibilities of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) using ADVOCACY through the following five focus areas: Raise Awareness; Increase Engagement; Empower Stakeholders; Promote Advocacy; & Support Governance While acknowledging the importance of the local, state, and national dimensions, continuous advocacy and engagement of the citizens can facilitate the effective translation of sustainable development policies into concrete action at the local, state, and national level.

SDGs Advocacy Strategy… Go to the people Live among the people Learn from the people Work with the people Start with what the people know Build on what the people have

Thank you all…
