 Why SDG & Why Now?
'Our world as we know it and the future we want are both at risk,' António
Guterres.

'The world economy has crossed the “planetary boundaries” of environmental

safety,' Jeffry Sachs.

Embracing sustainability is no longer a choice; it is a necessity.

Technology (17.6 -17.8)
Capacity-building (17.9)
Trade (17.10 -17.12)

 Where is the money?
Currently, developing countries collect only 10-20% of their GDPs in tax revenue
compared to developed countries 30-40%.
Public revenue, even when topped up by development assistance, remains insufficient
to meet SDG needs.
The funding shortfall for combined public and private investment in SDG-related
sectors in developing countries alone, is estimated to be $2.5 trillion per year
