“Governments all over the world are seeing this for what it is, which is a plan for the future of the world’s people and the planet. More than 50 countries have actually taken these goals and started to incorporate them into their national development planning. At least 50 more, and I suspect it’s nearly a hundred, are actually looking to find ways to do this, and they are trying to sort it out.”

8. SOUNDBITE (English) David Nabarro, Special Adviser on 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development:
“Things work best if there is a partnership between business, government and civil society, often informed by science as well. And those partnerships, provided they are transparent, provided they kind of really reflect the principles necessary to avoid any kind of conflict of interest, they can be incredibly powerful advancing development and indeed in reaching the people who are most likely to be left behind.”

10. SOUNDBITE (English) David Nabarro, Special Adviser on 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development:
“Even when resources are tight, when you’ve got an opportunity to make choices, do prioritize the option that is sustainable, whether we are talking about environment, or economic or social sustainability. So, that’s what we are really asking, for the SDGs to become the business of everyone, particularly in government, but also in other sectors, private sector, and civil society.”

13. SOUNDBITE (English) David Nabarro, Special Adviser on 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development:
“I really would like, as I said just now, to see the goals become the business of everybody, everywhere. To see them imprinted into all commercial decisions, all government decisions, all civil society decisions, and I would like to see really effective country monitoring of the trajectory towards the goals in the majority of world nations.”

One year after the adoption of the far reaching Sustainable Development Goals, the Special Adviser on 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, David Nabarro said “governments all over the world are seeing this for what it is, which is a plan for the future of the world’s people and the planet.”
Nabarro said that “more than 50 countries have actually taken these goals and started to incorporate them into their national development planning.”
Nabarro highlighted the importance of the role played by the private sector in the path to reaching the SDGs. He said “things work best if there is a partnership between business, government and civil society, often informed by science as well.”
Noting the current slower rate of economic growth in major developing economies, Nabarro said that “even when resources are tight, when you’ve got an opportunity to make choices, do prioritize the option that is sustainable, whether we are talking about environment, or economic or social sustainability.”
The Special Adviser said than in the coming years he would like to see “the goals become the business of everybody, everywhere” and to see them “imprinted into all commercial decisions, all government decisions, all civil society decisions,” as well as “effective country monitoring of the trajectory towards the goals in the majority of world nations.”
The Sustainable Development Goals, adopted on 25 September 2015 by the General Assembly, represent an ambitious 15-year plan of action that aims to eliminate extreme poverty and hunger, provide quality lifelong education for all, protect the planet and promote peaceful and inclusive societies.
