IV.

Proposal of the Open Working Group on sustainable

development goals

Introduction

The outcome document of the United Nations Conference on Sustainable

Development, entitled “The future we want”, inter alia, set out a mandate to

establish an open working group to develop a set of sustainable development goals

for consideration and appropriate action by the General Assembly at its sixty -eighth

session. It also provided the basis for their conceptualization. The document gave

the mandate that the sustainable development goals should be coherent with and

integrated into the United Nations development agenda beyond 2015.

Poverty eradication is the greatest global challenge facing the world today and

an indispensable requirement for sustainable development. In the outcome

document, the commitment to freeing humanity from poverty and hunger as a matter

of urgency was reiterated.

Poverty eradication, changing unsustainable and promoting sustainable

patterns of consumption and production and protecting a nd managing the natural

resource base of economic and social development are the overarching objectives of

and essential requirements for sustainable development.

People are at the centre of sustainable development and, in this regard, in the

outcome document, the promise was made to strive for a world that is just, equitable

and inclusive and the commitment was made to work together to promote sustained

and inclusive economic growth, social development and environmental protection

and thereby to benefit all, in particular the children of the world, youth and future

generations of the world, without distinction of any kind such as age, sex, disability,

culture, race, ethnicity, origin, migratory status, religion, economic or other status.

In the outcome document, all the principles of the Rio Declaration on

Environment and Development, including, inter alia, the principle of common but

differentiated responsibilities, as set out in principle 7 thereof, were also reaffirmed.

In the outcome document, the commitment to fully implement the Rio

Declaration, Agenda 21, the Programme for the Further Implementation of Agenda 21,

the Plan of Implementation of the World Summit on Sustainable Development

(Johannesburg Plan of Implementation) and the Johannesburg Declaration on

Sustainable Development, the Programme of Action for the Sustainable

Development of Small Island Developing States (Barbados Programme of Action)

and the Mauritius Strategy for the Further Implementation of the Programme of

Action for the Sustainable Development of Small Island Developing States was also

reaffirmed. The commitment to the full implementation of the Programme of Action

for the Least Developed Countries for the Decade 2011 -2020 (Istanbul Programme

of Action), the Almaty Programme of Action: Addressing the Special Needs of

Landlocked Developing Countries within a New Global Framework for Transit

Transport Cooperation for Landlocked and Transit Developing Countries, the political

declaration on Africa’s development needs and the New Partnership for Africa’s

Development was also reaffirmed. The commitments in the outcomes of all the major

United Nations conferences and summits in the economic, social and environmental

fields, including the United Nations Millennium Declaration, the 2005 World Summit

Outcome, the Monterrey Consensus of the International Conference on Financing for

Development, the Doha Declaration on Financing for Development, the outcome

document of the high-level plenary meeting of the General Assembly on the

The Open Working Group underscored that the global nature of climate change

calls for the widest possible cooperation by all countries and their participation in an

effective and appropriate international response, with a view to accelerating the

reduction of global greenhouse gas emissions. It recalled that the United Nations

Framework Convention on Climate Change provides that parties should protect the

climate system for the benefit of present and future generations of humankind on the

basis of equity and in accordance with their common but differentiated responsibilities

and respective capabilities. It noted with grave concern the significant gap between

the aggregate effect of mitigation pledges by parties in terms of global annual

emissions of greenhouse gases by 2020 and aggregate emission pathways consistent

with having a likely chance of holding the increase in global average temperature

below 2°C, or 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels. It reaffirmed that the ultimate

objective under the Convention is to stabilize greenhouse gas concentratio ns in the

atmosphere at a level that would prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference with

the climate system.

In the outcome document of the United Nations Conference on Sustainable

Development, it was reaffirmed that planet Earth and its ecosystems are our home and

that “Mother Earth” is a common expression in a number of countries and regions. It

was noted that some countries recognize the rights of nature in the context of the

promotion of sustainable development. The conviction was affirmed that, in order to

achieve a just balance among the economic, social and environmental needs of present

and future generations, it is necessary to promote harmony with nature. The natural

and cultural diversity of the world was acknowledged, and it was recognized that all

cultures and civilizations can contribute to sustainable development.

10. In the outcome document, it was recognized that each country faces specific

challenges to achieve sustainable development. The special challenges facing the most

vulnerable countries and, in particular, African countries, least developed countries,

landlocked developing countries and small island developing States, as well as the

specific challenges facing the middle-income countries, were underscored. It was

recognized that countries in situations of conflict also need special attention.

11. In the outcome document, the commitment to strengthen international

cooperation to address the persistent challenges related to sustainable development

for all, in particular in developing countries, was reaffirmed. In that regard, the need

to achieve economic stability, sustained economic growth, the promotion of social

equity and the protection of the environment, while enhancing gender equality,

women’s empowerment and equal employment for all, and the protection, survival

and development of children to their full potential, including through education, was

reaffirmed.

12. Each country has primary responsibility for its own economic and social

development and the role of national policies, domestic resources and development

strategies cannot be overemphasized. Developing countries need additional

resources for sustainable development. There is a need for significant mobilization

of resources from a variety of sources and the effective use of financing, in order to

promote sustainable development. In the outcome document, the commitment to

reinvigorating the global partnership for sustainable development and to mobilizing

the resources necessary for its implementation was affirmed. The rep ort of the

Intergovernmental Committee of Experts on Sustainable Development Financing

will propose options for a sustainable development financing strategy. The

A/68/970

substantive outcome of the third International Conference on Financing for

Development, in July 2015, will assess the progress made in the implementation of

the Monterrey Consensus and the Doha Declaration. Good governance and the rule

of law at the national and international levels are essential for sustained, inclusive

and equitable economic growth, sustainable development and the eradication of

poverty and hunger.

13. In the outcome document, it was reaffirmed that there are different approaches,

visions, models and tools available to each country, in accordance with its national

circumstances and priorities, to achieve sustainable development in its three

dimensions, which is our overarching goal.

14. The implementation of the sustainable development goals will depend on a

global partnership for sustainable development with the active engagement of

Governments, as well as civil society, the private sector and the United Nations

system. A robust mechanism to review implementation will be essential for the

success of the goals. The General Assembly, the Economic and Social Council and

the high-level political forum will play a key role in this regard.

15. In the outcome document, the commitment was reiterated to take further

effective measures and actions, in conformity with international law, to remove the

obstacles to the full realization of the right of self-determination of peoples living

under colonial and foreign occupation, which continue to adversely affect their

economic and social development as well as their environment, are incompatible with

the dignity and worth of the human person and must be combated and eliminated.

16. In the outcome document, it was reaffirmed that, in accordance with the Charter,

this shall not be construed as authorizing or encouraging any action against the

territorial integrity or political independence of any State. It was resolved to take

further effective measures and actions, in conformity with international law, to remove

obstacles and constraints, strengthen support and meet the special needs of people

living in areas affected by complex humanitarian emergencies and in areas affected by

terrorism.

17. To monitor the implementation of the sustainable development goals, it will be

important to improve the availability of and access to data and statistics

disaggregated by income, gender, age, race, ethnicity, migr atory status, disability,

geographic location and other characteristics relevant in national contexts. There is

a need to take urgent steps to improve the quality, coverage and availability of

disaggregated data to ensure that no one is left behind.

18. The sustainable development goals are accompanied by targets and will be

further elaborated through indicators focused on measurable outcomes. They are

action oriented, global in nature and universally applicable. They take into account

different national realities, capacities and levels of development and respect national

policies and priorities. They build on the foundation laid by the Millennium

Development Goals, seek to complete the unfinished business of the Millennium

Development Goals and respond to new challenges. They constitute an integrated,

indivisible set of global priorities for sustainable development. Targets are defined as

aspirational global targets, with each Government setting its own national targets

guided by the global level of ambition, but taking into account national circumstances.

The goals and targets integrate economic, social and environmental aspects and

recognize their interlinkages in achieving sustainable development in all its

dimensions.
