It outlines 10 sustainable development priorities, covering the four main dimensions of sustainable development: economic growth and the end of poverty, social inclusion, environmental sustainability, and good governance.” xxx “To help get the planet back on course, the world’s governments agreed last year at the Rio+20 Summit to adopt the Sustainable Development Goals. The world’s governments asked the UN Secretary-General to coordinate the preparation of these goals by the year 2015 to make a seamless transition from the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). A crucial meeting of the UN General Assembly will take place on Sept. 25, 2013 for this purpose.” xxx “In its report, the SDSN has identified 10 priority challenges of sustainable development: • End extreme poverty and hunger • Achieve development and prosperity for all without ruining the environment • Ensure learning for all children and youth • Achieve gender equality and reduce inequalities • Achieve health and wellbeing at all ages • Increase agricultural production in an environmentally sustainable manner, to achieve food security and rural prosperity • Make cities productive and environmentally sustainable • Curb human-induced climate change with sustainable energy • Protect ecosystems and ensure sound management of natural resources • Improve governance and align business behavior with all the goals These 10 priorities can form the basis for the SDGs that would apply to all countries during the years until 2030.” xxx [Another report to consider in our advocacy: Jessica Dator-Bercilla SirChief TourGuide Joey Salceda Macec Marinduque Marian Cunanan Marlo Chavez Nepo Benter Farah Joshua Sevilla Shé Andes She Sarabia Lyra Magalang]
