The course is designed for people that want to learn about the latest development agenda the international community agreed to achieve by 2030. Structured around the five pillars of Agenda 2030 – people, prosperity, planet, peace and justice, and partnership, students will learn that these pillars are interconnected and need to be integrated in practical policy-making and operational activities for development, in both developed and developing country settings. Following an introductory module on the main concepts of Agenda 2030 and the SDGs, successive modules will provide the foundation behind the SDGs for people, prosperity and planet, peace and partnership. A final module will explore the way forward and provide channels that the young generation can participate to integrate the SDGs in the policy-making of the students’ resident countries.

2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development

In this first module, you will be introduced to the overall concept and elements of the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development has been an integral part of the global development agenda. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) embraced the nature and characteristics of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) but produced a more comprehensive goal for all. We will breakdown the five key elements: People, Planet, Prosperity, Peace and Partnership. We will also examine each of the 17 Goals of the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda.

The Millennium Development Goals constituted

a clear breakthrough in the international community,

and the international community was able to come together,

not only to build the Millennium Development Goals,

but to achieve most of the goals set forth in the plan.

But it was clear that there was much more to be done.

The Sustainable Development Goals,

or the 2030 Agenda,

are built on the success of the Millennium Development Goals' aim

to go further to end all forms of poverty.

The new goals are unique in that they call for action by all countries,

poor, rich, and middle income,

to promote prosperity while protecting the planet.

They recognize that ending poverty must go hand in

hand with the strategies that build economic growth,

and address a range of social needs including education, health,

social protection, and job opportunities,

while tackling climate change and environmental protection.

The new agenda is a promise by leaders to all people everywhere.

It is a universal,

integrated, and transformative vision for a better world.

It is an agenda for people to end poverty in all its forms.

An agenda for the planet, our common home,

an agenda for shared prosperity, peace, and partnership.

It conveys the urgency of climate action,

it is rooted in gender equality,

and respect for the rights of all.

On September 25 and 27,

during the seventieth session of the United Nations General Assembly,

the United Nations member states convened

a special summit for the adoption of the post 2015 development agenda.

Most of the world leaders came to New York,

and I had even invited his holiness,

Pope Francis, to address the special summit session of the United Nations.

It was the first time that a Pope had been invited for such an occasion.

This special summit concluded with the adoption of the declaration,

Transforming our world, the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

A universal call to action for the betterment of people, planet,

prosperity, peace, and partnership,

which is unprecedented in both the scope and ambition.

I can still remember how much all member states,

the leaders were excited,

and I have never seen such a long standing ovation.

The world leaders were united.

The whole world was together.

What the 2030 Agenda brings is,

not merely 17 goals and indexes the nations must achieve,

it symbolizes the cooperation of all the member states of the United Nations,

the local governments, the private sectors,

and the civil society.

The SDGs are remarkable due to their complexity and comprehensive nature.

Compared to the Millennium Development Goals,

they involve more sections of society,

and areas of life.

Therefore, the agenda aims to provide efficient,

effective development goals to be achieved by all member states,

in linking all parts of the earth,

from economy to environment.

It has upgraded the Millennium Development Goals to a new level,

and offers hope to future generations,

as they take on the management of our planet.

The sustainable development agenda is an inclusive agenda,

and pays special attention to the needs of the poorest,

and the most vulnerable.

The strategies within the agenda are ambitious, action-oriented,

and collaborative and adapt to different development levels in different nations.

I believe that this is the most far reaching,

most ambitious development agenda the United Nations has ever presented,

since its founding in 1945.

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development touches four dimensions of society.

First, the Sustainable Development Goals build upon

the mission of the MDGs in eradicating extreme poverty.

The eradication of extreme poverty reflects

the economic development dimension of the Sustainable Development Agenda.

Economic development is the foundation of any development challenges,

like that of the MDGs.

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development embraces

the roles and results that have come out of the MDGs,

but taking a much bigger role.

Although the MDGs provided some focus on social inclusion,

the SDGs include specific categories of people

whose social inclusion must be achieved for a more comprehensive society.

The social inclusion of youth,

women, and children in education,

community building, and other partnerships are included in the 2030 Agenda.

The third dimension includes environmental sustainability.

When the MDGs were first introduced,

the fight for environmental protection was included, but since then,

major negotiations around the climate change protocols have been undertaken,

and important breakthroughs have been achieved internationally.

The new global acceptance of climate change protocols is reflected in the 2030 Agenda.

The last dimension is of good governance.

This dimension is important since

the inclusion of developed countries in the 2030 Agenda.

Unlike the MDGs, the SDG is a goal and target for all nations,

whether or not they are developing or developed countries.

The role of good governance is crucial to provide the foundation for sustainable society,

and therefore has been named as one of the SDGs.

In conclusion, the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda

was created on the foundation of MDGs.

Th 2030 Agenda has become much more inclusive,

and comprehensive for all sectors,

and for all areas.

The four dimensions of the SDGs show that the targets apply towards all.
