“There are clear connections among these Goals that can motivate cross-cutting actions,” she said, pointing to the role of consistent energy supply for the development of manufacturing capabilities, and increasing employment, industrial capacity and robust infrastructure in providing clean water and sanitation and partnerships for sustainable urban living. She particularly cited Goals 6, 7, 9 and 17, which are under review. Moreover, the follow-up and review of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development at the annual Council high-level political forum on sustainable development offers a space to embrace the interdependence of the three dimensions of sustainable development - environmental, social and economic.
Opening the Forum, Lachezara Stoeva (Bulgaria), President of the Council, noted the Science, Technology and Innovation Forum is an opportunity to boost evidence-based policymaking, anchored in science, for designing and implementing transformations to implement the Goals. The multiple crises of the last three years have dealt “a major blow” to the Sustainable Development Goals, requiring urgent action in sharing science, technology, innovation and digitalization to bridge that gap between haves and have-nots and ensure not just global progress, but survival, speakers told the Economic and Social Council today as it opened its two-day forum on the subject.
