Participants also reflected on the role of principles for effective governance and highlighted such instruments as the UN Convention against Corruption.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA resolute response to corruption, anchored in SDG 16, would pave the way for bringing the ambition of the 2030 Agenda closer to reality,\u201d Ms. Stoeva said. \u201cThe stakes have never been higher.\u201d Indeed, the costs of corruption are not merely financial, she explained. \u201cCorruption contributes to the loss of natural resources, exacerbates poverty and inequality, erodes trust and social cohesion, and undermines economic and political stability,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Corruption also disproportionately affects women, the poor and vulnerable groups, and erodes human capital, she said. At the mid-point in the implementation of the 2030 Agenda the urgency of accelerating implementation of all 17 SDGs has never been greater, she said, emphasizing that \u201ccorruption stands in our way\u201d. \u201cProgress on SDG 16 on peace, justice, and strong institutions can unleash a virtuous circle,\u201d she said, adding that the goal is an \u201cindispensable requirement\u201d for the effective implementation of all the SDGs. In return, progress on the SDGs becomes an enabling factor for more effective responses to corruption, she said.<\/p>\n<p>Citing \u201csignificant progress\u201d in using available instruments, the ECOSOC chief said countries have implemented a variety of measures, awareness has been raised, and better legislative and regulatory frameworks are in place. In addition, stakeholders are tapping into the potential of ICTs (information and communications technology) and data, she said. Parliaments, citizens, and civil society are engaged in monitoring corruption risks and anti-corruption responses, she added.<\/p>\n<p>However, effectively addressing the challenges requires sustained anti-corruption efforts and tailored approaches that engage multiple stakeholders and combine various international agreements, laws, and conventions, she said. \u201cIt is critical to strengthen monitoring and evaluation to improve anti-corruption, gather evidence of effective reforms, and report on progress on SDG 16,\u201d she stated. Insights from the special meeting will provide input to forthcoming gatherings, including the SDG Summit at UN Headquarters in New York in September and the SDG 16 Conference, to be held in Rome in May.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/news.un.org\/en\/story\/2023\/05\/1136282\">The UN<\/a> <\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vaufien\/stamping-out-corruption-can-give-sdgs-3-trillion-boost\/\">Stamping out corruption can give SDGs $3 trillion boost<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[7125,4070,9809,402,606,607,608],"class_list":["post-113873","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-corruption","tag-sdg","tag-stamping-out","tag-un","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/113873","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=113873"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/113873\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=113873"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=113873"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=113873"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
