In September 2015 at an historic UN Summit for Sustainable Development, 193 world leader approved the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Counting 17 Sustainable Development Goals and 169 targets, the 2030 Agenda is a Plan of Action for People, Planet, Prosperity, Partnership and Peace.
On January 1st 2016, the Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development officially came into force challenging all sectors of society to mobilize efforts to implement it and in special to end all forms of poverty, fight inequality, tackle climate change and strengthen universal peace.
The commitments to “Leave No One Behind” as we work hard toward full recovery of Covid – 19 pandemia is a key feature that we must embark in a great collective journey, ensuring that the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda and the Global Goals are translated into effective actions reaching everyone over the next 7 years.
Leaving No One Behind is the overarching principle and transforming the Agenda’s commitments into effective actions requires a precise understanding of the target governments and people. Women, men, children, youth, older persons, persons with disability, people living with HIV, indigenous people, refugees, internally displaced persons and migrants, all of them have in common the fact that they belong to a Family living at Local Level.
Supporting Subnational and Local Authorities, Parliamentarians, Academia, Private Sector, Civil Society and Families to understand the Agenda 2030 and the SDGs and in partnerships join forces to implement them is an exceptional opportunity to achieve better integration between community needs and public policy development leading to renewed hope, harmony, jobs creation and growth, while ensuring sustainability.
The theme of the World Family Summit 2023 is Theme: Invest in Families: Accelerating the 2020-2030 Decade of Action and the full implementation of the Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development Goals at Subnational and Local Levels.
