“…The new development agenda has a truly universal framework that goes beyond the separatism of simply environmental, social, or economic sustainability. … The [Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)] provide a new framework that is very different from the [Millennium Development Goals (MDGs)] (which focused on poverty eradication only) and very different from the old sustainable development agenda, which was about reducing environmental impacts as far as possible within nation states. … It is an agenda which recognizes that all 194 nations sit in the same boat. We need to collectively make the transition to a better and more sustainable development approach to stand any chance to prosper in the future. True sustainability is the only vehicle for growth, innovation, and development…” (10/19).
