Following a participative and comprehensive process over several years, in September 2015 the United Nations (UN) adopted the global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The SDGs must now be implemented in and by all countires, including Germany. A wide coalition of Civil Society Organizations there thinks that fundamentally different approaches must be taken in areas of political action. "Germany must accept its responsibility for sustainable development and implement the 2030 Agenda in accordance with its five principles (people, planet, prosperity, peace [...]

Nach jahrelangen internationalen Verhandlungen verabschiedeten die Vereinten Nationen Ende September 2015 die sogenannte 2030-Agenda. Ihr Herzstück sind 17 Ziele für nachhaltige Entwicklung (Sustainable Development Goals, SDGs), die bis 2030 von allen Staaten umgesetzt werden sollen. Sie folgen auf die Millenniumentwicklungsziele (Millennium Development Goals, MDGs). Die neuen nachhaltigen Entwicklungsziele gehen wesentlich weiter als ihre Vorläufer: Sie verbinden soziale, ökologische und ökonomische Nachhaltigkeit und fordern Frieden, Rechtsstaatlichkeit und eine unabhängige Justiz ein. Außerdem gelten sie universell und somit für Industrieländer, Schwellenländer und [...]

Die Vereinten Nationen (UN) haben nach einem mehrjährigen, partizipativen und umfassenden Prozess im September 2015 globale Ziele für Nachhaltige Entwicklung (SDG – Sustainable Development Goals) beschlossen. Die SDG gilt es nun auch in und durch Deutschland umzusetzen. Aus unserer Sicht brauchen wir dafür in zentralen politischen Handlungsfeldern grundlegend andere Weichenstellungen als bisher. Deutschland muss sich seiner Verantwortung für nachhaltige Entwicklung stellen und die 2030-Agenda im Sinne ihrer fünf Prinzipien (Menschen, Planet, Wohlstand, Frieden, Partnerschaft) umsetzen.

Mit diesem Positionspapier beziehen deutsche [...]

Four months have now passed since Agenda 2030 was agreed at the UN in New York. Targets have been set under each of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals, but the crucial matter of designating indicators to measure progress remains in the balance. In a new article, the Center of Economic and Social Rights reflects on the difficulties to choose indicators that really measure progress of the Agenda 2030. CESR is concerned over those indicators that have already been defined by [...]

Am 25. September 2015 verabschiedeten die 193 Mitgliedsstaaten der Vereinten Nationen auf einem Gipfeltreffen in New York die 2030-Agenda für nachhaltige Entwicklung. Sie bildet den globalen Rahmen für die Umwelt- und Entwicklungspolitik der kommenden 15 Jahre. Kernstück der Agenda sind die 17 Ziele für nachhaltige Entwicklung, die SDGs, mit ihren 169 Zielvorgaben.

One of the concrete commitments from the Addis Ababa Action Agreement and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (2030 ASD) is the Technology Facilitation Mechanism (TFM). Spearheaded by Brazil and France, the development of the TFM has been described by Sérgio Rodrigues dos Santos of Brazil, as a “testimony to the strength of multilateralism through collective action.”

Expectations are high for TFM in a briefing on its progress, the President of the UN General Assembly lauded the TFM launched in [...]
