This year\u2019s theme was Reinforcing the 2030 Agenda and eradicating poverty in times of multiple crises: the effective delivery of sustainable, resilient and innovative solutions. The session included a three-day ministerial segment from 15 to 17 July as part of the High-Level Segment of the Council.<\/p>\n<p>The adoption of a ministerial declaration, a key outcome of the Forum, was marked by robust debate among Member States, culminating in two key votes on amendments. One proposal involved the inclusion of a paragraph \u201cstrongly urging\u201d States to refrain from promulgating and applying any unilateral economic, financial or trade measures not in accordance with international law and the UN Charter that impede the full achievement of economic and social development, in particular in developing countries. The inclusion \u2013 proposed among others by Belarus, Cuba, Iran, Russia and Syria \u2013 was agreed with a recorded vote of 105 nations in favour, 11 against and 46 abstentions. The other amendment, proposed by Israel called for the deletion of a paragraph that \u201crecognized\u201d that sustainable development cannot be realized without peace and security, and peace and security will be at risk without sustainable development. That paragraph also called for \u201cfurther effective measures and actions\u201d to be taken, in conformity with international law, to remove the obstacles to the full realization of the right to self-determination of peoples living under colonial and foreign occupation, which continue to adversely affect their economic and social development as well as the environment. In a recorded vote, the Forum decided to retain this paragraph, with 122 Member States voting for retention and two voting for deletion (Israel and United States). Thirty-nine States abstained. The ministerial declaration, as amended, was then adopted without a vote.<\/p>\n<p>Addressing the Forum after the adoption, Paula Narv\u00e1ez, ECOSOC President, highlighted that the ministerial declaration \u201creinforced once again\u201d the urgency of implementing the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. \u201cThis high-level political forum has highlighted that it is not too late to make sustainable development a reality.\u201d She also recognized the efforts of Ambassador Jos\u00e9 Blanco of the Dominican Republic and Ambassador Merete Fjeld Brattested of Norway for their leadership as facilitators of \u201ccomplex negotiations, which were conducted in an exceptional, transparent and inclusive manner\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>She added that delegations negotiated for over 70 hours, with 20 informal and 3 informal-informal sessions, \u201cmaking every effort to bring together the different opposing positions and present an ambitious and balanced document\u201d. The ECOSOC President concluded by stressing the body\u2019s collective resolve to accelerate the implementation of SDGs and advance sustainable development, and to undertake the transformations necessary to achieve that objective. \u201cWe will continue to renew multilateral efforts to fulfil the promise of the 2030 Agenda and leave no one behind,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>L\u00e4hde: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/news.un.org\/en\/story\/2024\/07\/1152276\">UN news<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vau-viikkokatsaus\/un-forum-on-sustainable-development-concludes-with-renewed-commitment-call-for-urgent-action\/\">UN forum on sustainable development concludes with renewed commitment, call for urgent action<\/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":[15364,15365,5973,15366,12084,15367,606,607,608],"class_list":["post-132515","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-agenda-2030","tag-ecosoc","tag-reinforce","tag-social-conculil","tag-sustainable-development","tag-un-forum","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\/132515","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=132515"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132515\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=132515"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=132515"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=132515"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
