Irish Government @ HLPF 2018 • Ireland committed to SDGs – cross- departmental/government responsibilities – whole of society approach • All have to leave comfort zones and silos • Strengths and weaknesses and 2 major challenges – housing and climate action • Global challenges • Leadership on SDGs negotiations. Now will show leadership on SDGs implementation
Our Questions @ HLPF 2018 • Government and Ministerial buy-in • Funding for SDGs implementation – 0.7% • Whole of society participation – Stakeholder Forum • Engaging Most Vulnerable • How tackling environmental goals • Public awareness and Global Citizenship Education • Data collection – support for CSO and civil society • Innovation and SDGs
UN Ministerial Declaration @ HLPF 2018 • Much progress made, world has back tracked in some areas – increase in those undernourished; gender inequality continues; runaway climate change; eroding human rights and persistent pockets of poverty • 46 countries reporting on work done and work to do – only at the beginning of our journey
Civil Society Declaration @ HLPF 2018
• The world is not on track to reach the 2030 Agenda
• Restructuring global systems towards human rights, and justice
• Insufficient leadership and a lack of commitment
• HLPF should adopt Human Rights Council approach
• Space for civil society is shrinking
• 2019 review of how HLPF works
• Call on governments to meaningfully advance 2030
Agenda…that political, economic, social and environmental
paradigms will shift towards human rights and dignity for allBy 2030, ensure that all learners acquire the knowledge and skills needed to promote sustainable development, including among others, through education for sustainable development and sustainable lifestyles, human rights, gender equality, promotion of a culture of peace and non-violence, global citizenship and appreciation of cultural diversity and of culture’s contribution to sustainable development
