Global Sustainable Development Report 2023

In the newly released Global Sustainable Development Report 2023, the intersection of law, ESG, and global crises is more evident than ever.

The report, aptly titled 'Times of Crisis, Times of Change,' serves as a strategic guide for navigating the complexities of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030. A few highlights:

Climate Change: The Tipping Point

The report paints a grim picture of our climate reality, highlighting the increasing frequency of natural disasters and the potential displacement of 216 million people within their countries by 2050.

#SocialProtection: The Pandemic's Lessons

COVID-19 has exposed the vulnerabilities in our social protection systems. However, it has also provided an opportunity for reform, economic stimulus packages, and investments in more sustainable and climate-resilient systems.

Science and Policy: The Catalysts for Change

One of the standout themes of the report is the role of multidisciplinary science in driving transformative change. It emphasizes the need for a science-policy-society interface, a collaborative framework that can accelerate progress toward the SDGs

The report makes it clear that these, and other opportunities and challenges aren't isolated, but interconnected, and it requires a multidisciplinary approach.

"Despite impressive engagement around the Sustainable Development Goals, the world is far off track. Much more effort, investment and systemic change are required."

António Guterres, Secretary-General, United Nations
