Making Progress on SDG 16: Unlocking the Power of Example
6 de August de 2024
This publication is about the power of example. It is about how governments, people and institutions are putting peace, justice and inclusion at the center of transformation. 16 examples to inspire action on Sustainable Development Goal 16, on peace, justice and strong institutions.
We know that Goal 16 is a cornerstone for achieving all SDGs and interlinks deeply with the achievement of most other parts of the Agenda 2030. The 2nd Global Progress Report on SDG 16 produced by the leading UN entities responsible for globally tracking progress on SDG 16 paints a bleak picture as we have now crossed the halfway mark to Agenda 2030. Governance systems are indeed failing many people, the world is becoming more dangerous, people are increasingly divided, and justice is being denied for too many.
But there are some bright spots. This publication aims to shed light on these bright spots where UNDP is working hand in hand with partners. The report notes the positive trend in the diversity of representation in public institutions, with more gender parity in some regions and improvements in the inclusion of young people. Governments are also increasingly prioritizing policies and initiatives which are making real and crucial progress on peace, justice and inclusion.
Our hope is that this compilation will serve as inspiration for policymakers, civil society and practitioners in designing the responses that are needed to refocus efforts, accelerate and deepen implementation of Goal 16.
