Sustainable Development Solutions Network hosts Pre-Summit during Climate Week and UN General Assembly 2024
Partnerships for the goals
The Global Goals can only be achieved through collective effort. International investments and support are essential to fostering innovative technological development, ensuring fair trade, and improving market access, particularly for developing countries. To create a better world, we must be supportive, empathetic, inventive, passionate, and, above all, cooperative.

TARGETS
Everyone can contribute to achieving the Global Goals. By focusing on these targets, meaningful action can be taken to create significant impacts across various areas. This approach encourages collaboration and collective efforts to address critical issues, ensuring that no one is left behind.
MOBILIZE RESOURCES TO IMPROVE DOMESTIC REVENUE COLLECTION
Strengthening domestic resource mobilization, with the aid of international support for developing countries, is crucial for enhancing their capacity to collect taxes and other revenues.
IMPLEMENT ALL DEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCE COMMITMENTS
Developed countries should fully implement their official development assistance commitments, including the goal many have set to allocate 0.7 per cent of their gross national income (GNI) to official development assistance (ODA) for developing countries and 0.15 to 0.20 per cent of ODA/GNI to the least developed countries. ODA providers are encouraged to aim for at least 0.20 per cent of ODA/GNI to support the least developed countries.
MOBILIZE FINANCIAL RESOURCES FOR DEVELOPING COUNTRIES
Mobilize additional financial resources for developing countries from diverse sources.
ASSIST DEVELOPING COUNTRIES IN ATTAINING DEBT SUSTAINABILITY
Assist developing countries in achieving long-term debt sustainability through coordinated policies focused on debt financing, debt relief, and debt restructuring, as appropriate. Address the external debt of highly indebted poor countries to alleviate debt distress.
INVEST IN LEAST DEVELOPED COUNTRIES
Adopt and implement investment promotion regimes for the least developed countries.
KNOWLEDGE SHARING AND COOPERATION FOR ACCESS TO SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY AND INNOVATION
Enhance North-South, South-South, and triangular regional and international cooperation on science, technology, and innovation. Improve knowledge sharing on mutually agreed terms by enhancing coordination among existing mechanisms, particularly at the United Nations level, and through a global technology facilitation mechanism.
PROMOTE SUSTAINABLE TECHNOLOGIES TO DEVELOPING COUNTRIES
Promote the development, transfer, dissemination, and diffusion of environmentally sound technologies to developing countries on favourable terms, including concessional and preferential terms, as mutually agreed.
STRENGTHEN THE SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY AND INNOVATION CAPACITY FOR LEAST DEVELOPED COUNTRIES
Fully operationalize the technology bank and science, technology, and innovation capacity-building mechanism for least developed countries by 2017. Enhance the use of enabling technologies, particularly information and communications technology.
ENHANCE SDG CAPACITY IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES
Enhance international support for effective and targeted capacity-building in developing countries to aid in the implementation of all the Sustainable Development Goals. This support should include North-South, South-South, and triangular cooperation.
PROMOTE A UNIVERSAL TRADING SYSTEM UNDER THE WTO
Promote a universal, rules-based, open, non-discriminatory, and equitable multilateral trading system under the World Trade Organization, including through the conclusion of negotiations under the Doha Development Agenda.
INCREASE THE EXPORTS OF DEVELOPING COUNTRIES
Significantly increase the exports of developing countries, with a specific aim to double the share of global exports from least developed countries by 2020.
REMOVE TRADE BARRIERS FOR LEAST DEVELOPED COUNTRIES
Ensure the timely implementation of duty-free and quota-free market access for all least developed countries on a lasting basis, in line with World Trade Organization decisions. This includes ensuring that preferential rules of origin for imports from least developed countries are transparent, simple, and conducive to facilitating market access.
ENHANCE GLOBAL MACROECONOMIC STABILITY
Enhance global macroeconomic stability through effective policy coordination and coherence.
ENHANCE POLICY COHERENCE FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
Enhance policy coherence for sustainable development.
RESPECT NATIONAL LEADERSHIP TO IMPLEMENT POLICIES FOR THE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS
Respect each country’s policy space and leadership in establishing and implementing policies for poverty eradication and sustainable development.
ENHANCE THE GLOBAL PARTNERSHIP FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
Enhance the Global Partnership for Sustainable Development through multi-stakeholder partnerships that mobilize and share knowledge, expertise, technology, and financial resources. This support should aim to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals in all countries, with particular emphasis on developing countries.
ENCOURAGE EFFECTIVE PARTNERSHIPS
Encourage and promote effective public, public-private, and civil society partnerships, building on the experience and resourcing strategies of existing partnerships.
ENHANCE AVAILABILITY OF RELIABLE DATA
By 2020, enhance capacity-building support to developing countries, including least developed countries and small island developing states, to significantly increase the availability of high-quality, timely, and reliable data disaggregated by income, gender, age, race, ethnicity, migratory status, disability, geographic location, and other relevant characteristics in national contexts.
FURTHER DEVELOP MEASUREMENTS OF PROGRESS
By 2030, build on existing initiatives to develop measures of progress on sustainable development that complement gross domestic product, and support statistical capacity-building in developing countries.
