3. SOUNDBITE (English) Justin Trudeau, Prime Minister, Canada:
This is a moment where the world needs to take stock of where we are, and how we move forward now is really going to be unbelievably important for the trajectory over decades and what we're doing. Coming out of the pandemic, dealing with the return of war to Europe with Russia's illegal invasion, which has had global consequences on food supply and fertilizer, but also on a recognition of the larger challenges we're facing as a world.”

5. SOUNDBITE (English) Justin Trudeau, Prime Minister, Canada:
“This is a moment where people around the world are feeling massive anxiety, whether it's because of the impacts of climate change that are becoming realer and more terrifying almost every single day, whether it's on global inequality, whether it's on misinformation and disinformation that's destabilizing democracies and systems of government, whether it's this sense that the very idea of progress that so many of our countries have always build cohesion around that the hard work of one generation leads to greater opportunities for your kids and moves forward. Well, that's all under attack right now and under doubt, for the first time in very, very real ways.”

7. SOUNDBITE (English) Justin Trudeau, Prime Minister, Canada:
“Countries of all different sizes and types need to be much more engaged in making sure that our neighbors are doing well that people on the other side of the world have the same kinds of opportunities and that was brilliantly encapsulated in the creation of the SDGs but it's almost like right now that we've understand just how essential they are for everything else. We cannot build jobs, a sustainable economy even for the richest countries in the world, unless there is pathways for all citizens to be part of it.”

9. SOUNDBITE (English) Mia Mottley Prime Minister, Barbados:
“Halftime is a time for reflection, a time to summon the energy to go again. And I'm satisfied that in so doing we need to get the constituent elements of what we will need in line. That is why we have been spending so much time talking to everyone about how we give oxygen, because without oxygen we will have noble intentions, but no progress.”

“It is fundamentally about people being able to sleep easier each and every night and not having to worry about where the next meal will come from, or whether they will access health care or whether they will be able to find jobs or whether they can have shelter. These are the things that are necessary. We tell our children to focus on what they need first, before what they want. The world needs to focus on what we need before what we want becomes our primary obsession.”

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau Thursday (27 Apr) said, “people around the world are feeling massive anxiety,” and it is “a moment where the world needs to take stock of where we are” with regards to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Trudeau, who earlier this month was named Co-Chair of the Sustainable Development Goals Advocates group together with the Prime Minister of Barbados Mia Mottley, said, “coming out of the pandemic, dealing with the return of war to Europe with Russia's illegal invasion,” there needs to be “a recognition of the larger challenges we're facing as a world.”
Speaking at a roundtable discussion at UN Headquarters co-headed with Mottley, Trudeau said, he impacts of climate change “are becoming realer and more terrifying almost every single day.”
He said, “whether it's on global inequality, whether it's on misinformation and disinformation that's destabilizing democracies and systems of government, whether it's this sense that the very idea of progress that so many of our countries have always build cohesion around that the hard work of one generation leads to greater opportunities for your kids and moves forward. Well, that's all under attack right now and under doubt, for the first time in very, very real ways.”
The Canadian Prime Minister said, “countries of all different sizes and types need to be much more engaged in making sure that our neighbors are doing well that people on the other side of the world have the same kinds of opportunities and that was brilliantly encapsulated in the creation of the SDGs but it's almost like right now that we've understand just how essential they are for everything else. We cannot build jobs, a sustainable economy even for the richest countries in the world, unless there is pathways for all citizens to be part of it.”
Mottley for her part said, “halftime is a time for reflection, a time to summon the energy to go again. And I'm satisfied that in so doing we need to get the constituent elements of what we will need in line. That is why we have been spending so much time talking to everyone about how we give oxygen, because without oxygen we will have noble intentions, but no progress.”
She said, “it is fundamentally about people being able to sleep easier each and every night and not having to worry about where the next meal will come from, or whether they will access health care or whether they will be able to find jobs or whether they can have shelter. These are the things that are necessary.”
The SDGs halfway point in the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) will be reached this summer.
