SDG17 Partnerships for the Goals

During the years of the Millennium Development Goals, Bangladesh experienced a period of sustained
growth. This enabled the country to make good progress on related indicators, like the prevalence of
underweight children under-five years of age, and the net enrollment in primary school. But challenges

would have to figure out how to come up with the financing to make that work possible. Beyond the goals, it

This online programme provides students with whole systems design skills, analytical abilities and a wide range of methods to support the redesign of the human presence on Earth from degenerative to regenerative trends one local community and bioregion at a time.  The programme is divided in four interconnected dimensions: Social Design, Ecological Design, Economic Design and Worldview, each conducted in an eight-week period, which can be taken individually or as a whole course.

The development of the domestic financial sector and the integration of local, national, regional and international markets have increased the number of options the public and private sector can choose from to invest in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This platform offers a compass to navigate across those options or financing solutions. 

This toolkit has been developed as an exploratory and interactive tool for organizations of persons with disabilities (DPOs) on the monitoring mechanisms of the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) implementation, called Voluntary National Reviews. The toolkit aims to provide step-by-step guidance, ideas, suggestions and templates for building successful advocacy campaigns and strategies to participate in the monitoring mechanisms of the Sustainable Development Goals.

The German Development Institute (DIE) and the Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI) launched a tool that highlights synergies between the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) submitted by countries under the Paris Agreement on climate change.

The Accelerator is designed to support educators and change-makers of all kinds who are working to advance sustainability learning and action. While the format and visual look of the package has evolved over time (see below), the core tools have remained essentially the same. Lead designer Alan AtKisson likens them to a “Microsoft Office for running sustainability processes — except they’re not computer apps, so they don’t crash.”

Migration is an intrinsic part of rural development. Yet, there are major knowledge gaps regarding its drivers, dynamics and effects on rural areas.

This case study reviewed the current approaches utilized to implement the inter-linkages in the context of the SDGs. These approaches are then applied in the context of implementing inter-linkages of the drivers and benefits of forest cover in Malaysia.

ASEAN countries have committed themselves to the implementation of two parallel but interrelated processes: the ASEAN Community Vision 2025 (ASEAN Vision 2025) and the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (2030 Agenda). From the outset ASEAN Member States underlined the complementarity of these two agendas in their efforts to uplift the standards of living of the region’s peoples.

At the global level in 2015 countries set in motion the most far reaching and ambitious development agenda of our time, the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. In Asia and the Pacific, countries have already begun translating this ambitious agenda into action and many have already set up the national architecture for coordinating and promoting the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). However, the policy transformations required to put countries on track to achieve the SDGs have yet to take shape across this or any other region.
