Solutions to SDGs Challenge, COVID19 Challenge, Russia Ukraine Conflict
Challenge and Climate Change Challenge Driven by Suggestions and Inputs for
Improving Governments and UN Response to Implementing UN Secretary General’s
SDGs Progress Report May 2022
Strengthening Governments and UN to Better Contribute Towards Rethinking
War on COVID-19; War on Climate Change Mistakes; War on Hunger, Malnutrition
and Poverty; War on Inequality, Injustice and Conflicts;
War on Corruption, Indiscipline and Impunity and Task to Achieve SDGs in
All Countries as soon as possible after 2030 and reaching Global Goals
2050, that is Race to Zero 2050 by end 2050 to avoid Imminent Perishing of our
Fragile Planet
Let’s
not fool ourselves. A COVID19 vaccine cannot undo damage that will stretch
across years, even decades to come. Extreme poverty is rising; the threat of
famine looms. It is time to reset. As we build a strong recovery, we must seize
the opportunity for change.
UN Secretary General,
H.E. Antonio Guteress Statement on 1 January 2021
Commendation
We commend the UN Secretary General on the advance release of the
Secretary General’s SDGs Progress Report.
https://sustainabledevelopment.un.org/content/documents/29858SG_SDG_Progress_Report_2022.pdf
The Report recommends actions to recover from the multiple and
interlinked global crises we are facing – COVID19, Climate Crisis, Impact of
Conflict in Ukraine and elsewhere, that are putting the very viability of
achieving the SDGs by 2030 at great risk.
The Report recommends an urgent rescue effort is needed to rapidly
change course grounded in a comprehensive global response to these interlinked
global crises and a renewed commitment to multilateralism and international
cooperation as called for in our Common Agenda.
Published in May 2022, the Report will inform discussions during the
July 2022 Session of the UN High Level Political Forum on Sustainable
Development, HLPF.
Facing New Direction and
Adopting New Priorities
We note the UN Secretary General has been working non-stop to advance
policy relevant insights and that this latest Report is an all hands effort
that shows the distinctive value of the UN’s Multi-Faceted Research.
It is pertinent to note that even before COVID19 and
Russian Ukraine War, all North and South Countries had been Off Track achieving
SDGs by end 2030 target date.
It is pertinent to note further that the UNDESA Global
Online Consultation: SDGs under review at the 2022 High Level Political Forum
on Sustainable Development, HLPF Summary Report May 2022 coincide with the UN
Secretary General’s SDG Progress Report May 2022.
https://www.un.org/sites/un2.un.org/files/hlpf_consultation_report_final.pdf
In view of the above, if the UN is to achieve increasing
convergence between the Report’s Vision Intention and Reality, the UN’s
Research need to shift from advancing policy relevant insights to advancing
policy relevant results. This demands the UN face New Direction and adopt New
Priorities.
Integrated Approach
It
is pertinent to note that all North and South Countries are Off Track achieving
SDGs by end 2030 target date; that it is no longer possible for all North and
South Countries to achieve SDGs by end 2030 target date; that it is possible
for all North and South Countries to achieve SDGs as soon as possible after
2030, say by 2033 – 2035, if the UN System – United Nations Organization, World
Bank Group, International Monetary Fund, World Trade Organization and World
Tourism Organization face New Direction and adopt New Priorities and that
COVID19 and Russian Ukraine War make Bad situation worse.
To
achieve increasing convergence between the Report’s Vision Intention and
Reality, the UN Secretary General and UN Security Council need to help UN
System described above Deliver as One as well as help all North and South
Countries to deploy Whole of Government, Whole of UN System and Whole of
Society Approach linked to Whole of Community, Whole of Country, Whole of Bank
and Whole of International Institutions Approach as applicable or appropriate
in each specific Community, Sub-Country, Country, Sub-Continent and Global
location context towards achieving SDGs as soon as possible after 2030, say by
2033 – 2035, linked to achieving Race to Zero Emission 2050 by end 2050 target
date.
We urge the UN Secretary General to invite UNDESA, UNEP, UNDP, FAO, ILO, UNESCO and UNICEF to Co Lead Design and Delivery of the Report’s Strategic Vision in all 193 UN Member States.
Key Drivers
This
underline need for the UN System to Jointly Implement Structural and Policy
Change Reforms needed to effectively Drive:-
1. Paradigm Shifts from answering What
Questions to answering How Questions; from Business as Usual to Business
Unusual, from MDGs Mode to SDGs Mode etc.
2. Ensuring Build Back Better, Build Back
Greener, Build Back Fairer and Recover Better from COVID19.
3. Leveraging further the 2030 Agenda for
Sustainable Development to achieve SDGs as soon as possible after 2030, say by
2033 - 2035 and press forward to achieve Global Goals 2050, Race to Zero
Emission by end 2050 target date.
4. Mobilizing Domestic and International
Action for Implementation of (1) – (3) in all 193 UN Member States
5. Changing Attitude, Behavior and Mindsets
of Domestic and International Stakeholders required to make a success of (4).
7 Overarching Mistakes
The points made in UN Secretary General’s SDG Progress
Report May 2022 and UNDESA Global Online Consultation: SDGs under review at the
2022 HLPF Summary Report May 2022, underline the fact that achieving SDGs as
soon as possible after 2030 and reaching Global Goals 2050 or Race to Zero by
end 2050 target date greatly depends on All UN System Entities – Headquarters,
Regional Offices, Country Offices and Sub-Country Offices and All Arms of All
Tiers of Government in Nigeria genuinely appreciating the existence of 7
Overarching Mistakes and genuinely recognizing Joint Need to Speedily Resolve
and in Urgent Global Interest the 7 Overarching Mistakes identified from
NEHMAP/EAG Research findings. These are:-
1.
Omitting Step 1 How to Get DONE What
Stakeholders / World Leaders have AGREED to Get DONE - Original UN Charter
Vision; World Transformation Agenda Vision - SDGs, AAAA, COP21, Agenda 21 Rio
and Rio + 20; Race to Zero 2050 before operating in Step 2 - Getting DONE or
DOING What Stakeholders / World Leaders have agreed to DO or Get DONE as
listed.
2.
Deploying Multiple Approaches to
Operate in Step 2 some or many of which are Divergent or Contradictory rather
than First Agreeing One Worldwide Approach that is Sufficiently All Inclusive,
All Embracing and Ambitious such as 3PCM that is Not One Cap Fit All but Common
Agreement and a Generic One Worldwide Approach that is Integral Part of Step 1
and effectively deployed as applicable or appropriate in each specific
Community, Sub-Country, Country, Sub-Continent, Continent and Global/Planet
location context.
https://developmentchangechampions.blogspot.com/2019/03/3pcm-benefits-focused-one-worldwide.html
3PCM One Worldwide Approach
3.
All UN and All Governments essentially
Working in Silos in Step 2 while omitting Step 1 rather than All UN and All
Governments essentially Working in Synergy in Step 1 and then Pressing Forward
to Step 2.
4.
Lack of Domestic and Global Central
Coordination of National and Global Development Cooperation Radical /
Fundamental and Rapid / Fast Change adequate to achieve all Global Goals agreed
by World Leaders built upon All UN and All Governments Agreeing Step 1 before
Pressing forward to operate in Step 2 as applicable or appropriate in each
specific Community, Sub-Country, Country, Sub-Continent, Continent and
Global/Planet location context.
5.
Lack of UN Innovation and Non UN
Innovation as One that is Central Driver of Domestic and Global Central
Coordination in (4).
6.
Lack of meaningful Involvement of
Original Ideas Creators who are State Actors and Non State Actors; UN
Innovators and Non UN Innovators who through their unadulterated struggle and
commitment use their God given Talents to seek True Sustainable: Development,
Diplomacy, Peace, Unity, Defense, Security, Equality, Opportunities, Justice
and Dignity underlining Initiatives in (1) - (5).
7.
Lack of
Domestic and Global Communication Strategy meaningfully Supporting Multi
Stakeholder Partnership as applicable or appropriate in each specific
Community, Sub-Country, Country, Sub-Continent, Continent and Global/Planet
location context supporting Initiatives in (1) - (6).
As long as these 7 Overarching Mistakes are not
speedily corrected, our World will continue in increasing acceleration on
MADning (Mutually Assured Destruction) Road to DOOM resulting in governments
inability to deliver New Social Contract at National level and New Global Deal
at Global level leading to possible Perishing our Fragile Planet at worst and
Global Depression taking Generation(s) to Reverse at best.
The good ideas in the UN Reports, including the Secretary
General’s SDGs Progress Report and UNDESA Global Online Consultation: SDGs
under review at the 2022 HLPF Summary Report highlighted above and many more,
will remain mere good ideas, if our World does not speedily Change Course to
correct the 7 Overarching Mistakes and start accelerating on MAPing (Mutually
Assured Prosperity) Road to BOOM.
New Partnership Strategy
Some UN
Reports identified need for a Whole of Society Approach and some UN Reports
identified need for Whole of Government Approach and Holistic Approach
Whole of
Society Approach and Whole of Government Approach cannot be successfully
Implemented without simultaneously Implementing Whole of UNO, United Nations
Organization; Whole of UN System – UNO, World Bank Group, WBG; International
Monetary Fund, IMF, World Trade Organization – WTO Trade, World Tourism
Organization – WTO Tourism; Whole of Community, Whole of Country; Whole of
University; Whole of Institution; Whole of International Institutions; Whole of
Bank and Whole of Financial Institutions Approach Driving Correct Diagnosis,
Correct Prescription, Correct Surgery and Correct Recovery Management as
applicable or appropriate in each specific Community, Sub-Country, Country,
Sub-Continent, Continent and Global location context.
This
Integrated Approach will be complemented by:-
1.
New Partnership Strategy with the Private Sector
2.
New Partnership Strategy with Consultants
3.
New Partnership Strategy with CSOs
4.
New Partnership Strategy with Cooperatives
5.
New Partnership Strategy with Government Entities
6.
New Partnership Strategy with Donor Agencies and International
Institutions
7.
New Partnership Strategy with Traditional Institutions, Religious
Institutions and Media Institutions
8.
New Partnership Strategy with Universities and Higher Education
Institutions
These Partnership Strategies will be complemented by Private Sector Advisory Group on SDGs and CSOs Strategy Group on SDGs, as well as Universities and Higher Education Advisory Group on SDGs and Social and Solidarity Economy / Cooperatives Advisory Group on SDGs.
New National and International Reform Program
The ongoing Reforms at National and International levels are not sufficiently All Inclusive, All Embracing and Ambitious to put all 193 UN Member States On Track to achieving SDGs as soon as possible after 2030, say 2033 - 2035 and Press Forward to achieve Global Goals 2050, Race to Zero Emissions by end 2050 target date.
This underlines the urgent need for UN Secretary General to facilitate Design and Delivery of New National Reform Program that covers all Arms of all Tiers of Government in all 193 UN Member States, that is sufficiently All Inclusive, All Embracing and Ambitious.
The Integrated Approach described
above need to be effectively deployed to help achieve increasing convergence
between New National Reform Program Vision Intention and Reality with special
focus on Whole of:-
1. Agriculture and
Cooperatives
2. Peace and
Security
3. Health and
Wellbeing
4. Education and
Entrepreneurship
5. Governance and
Partnerships
6. Climate Change
and Environment
7. Attitudinal
Change and Behavioral Change
8. Public Sector
Reform and International Institutions Reform
9. Anti Corruption
and Integrity
10. Development
Cooperation and Development Evaluation
The Flagship Intervention in the New National Reform Program is New Agriculture and Cooperatives Project covering Crops, Forestry, Livestock, Fisheries and Aquaculture: Pre Harvest, Harvest and Post Harvest Initiatives and Cooperatives Primary Society, Secondary Union and Tertiary Central Society Initiatives.
The Implementation Framework will be kick started in Pilot Program and Scale Up Program.
The Pilot Program will have Orientation Workshop; Technical Surveys – Management, Engineering and Financial Surveys. The Orientation Workshop and Technical Surveys Outcome Document Reports Conclusions and Recommendations will be Implemented with effective Monitoring and Evaluation of this Implementation.
The Pilot Program Implementation Report and Implementation Monitoring and Evaluation Report will feed into kick starting the Scale Up Program.
UN Innovation and Non UN Innovation
UN Innovation and Non UN Innovation Driving Structural and Policy Change as applicable or appropriate in each specific Community, Sub-Country, Country, Sub-Continent, Continent and Global location context is One of the Master Keys for Design and Delivery of SDGs Implementation and Integration Initiatives Driving Unprecedented National and Global Response to Unprecedented National and Global Crises.
Life Long Education and Life Long Entrepreneurship
Life Long Education and Life Long Entrepreneurship Driving Structural and Policy Change as applicable or appropriate in each specific Community, Sub-Country, Country, Sub-Continent, Continent and Global location context is One of the Master Keys for Design and Delivery of SDGs Implementation and Integration Initiatives Driving Unprecedented National and Global Response to Unprecedented National and Global Crises.
International Dimension
The Governments of all 193 UN Member States need to more constructively engage the UNGA, United Nations General Assembly; UN FfD, United Nations Finance for Development; UN ECOSOC DCF, Development Cooperation Forum; UN HLPF, High Level Political Forum and Development Partners Group to more effectively support SDGs Implementation and Integration as applicable or appropriate in each specific Community, Sub-Country, Country, Sub-Continent, Continent and Global location context.
The Technical Partnerships with UN Agencies; Regional Institutions like Africa Union, AU and European Union, EU and Political Grouping of Countries like OECD need to be Reinforced to better support SDG Implementation and Integration as applicable or appropriate in each specific Community, Sub-Country, Country, Sub-Continent, Continent and Global location context. In this regard Accelerator Labs and Innovation Units have Central Roles to Play.
The National and International Dimensions of SDG Implementation and Integration as applicable or appropriate in each specific Community, Sub-Country, Country, Sub-Continent, Continent and Global location context real and complex problems on the ground need to be effectively tackled within Whole of UNDP, Whole of UNO – United Nations Organization and Whole of UN System – UNO; World Bank Group, WBG; International Monetary Fund, IMF; World Trade Organization, WTO – Trade and World Tourism Organization, WTO – Tourism Delivery as One.
This Delivery as
One Framework will involve National and International State Actors and Non
State Actors Working Together to Succeed Together and Benefit Together addressing
the 7 Overarching Mistakes and Obeying UNSG H.E. Antonio Guteress Clarion Call
to Reset our World before it is too late to avoid looming National and Global
Colossal Catastrophe in Nigeria, Africa; UK, Europe; US, China and rest of the World.
In Sum,
The UN Secretary
General’s SDGs Progress Report and UNDESA Global Online Consultation: SDGs
under review at the 2022 HLPF Summary Report contain many good ideas, which
fully implemented will result in all 193 UN Member States achieving SDGs as
soon as possible after 2030, say by 2033 - 2035 and press forward to achieve
Global Goals 2050, Race to Zero Emissions by end 2050 target date.
It is no longer
possible to achieve SDGs by end 2030 target date. It is possible to achieve
SDGs as soon as possible after 2030, say by 2033 – 2035, if the Right Actions
are taken and without further delay. Ultimate consequences of failure to
achieve SDGs will be catastrophic for our fragile Planet.
However, to move the
SDGs Progress Report and Global Online Consultation Summary Report from Words
to Action; UN System and all 193 UN Member States need to consider Facing New
Direction and Adopting New Priorities towards Mainstreaming Acceleration and
Policy Support to Drive required Structural and Policy Change as applicable or
appropriate in each specific Community, Sub-Country, Country, Sub-Continent,
Continent and Global location context.
COVID19 rapidly closing short window of
opportunity, to Build Back Better, Build Back Greener, Build Back Fairer and
Recover Better need to be utilized by UN System and all 193 UN Member
States. To achieve this UN System and all 193 UN Member States need to muster
required levels of Political Will and Public Will and On Time to avoid
catastrophic consequences of Business as Usual.
It is therefore in Urgent
National and Global Interest that the HLPF July 2022 Pre Summit Days, Summit Days and Post
Summit Days as One Technical and Political Process Discussions start
immediately and with the full support of UN System and all 193 UN Member States.
Should UN Secretary
General consider deploying UN Power as
Convener, Catalyst, Collaborator and Cultivator to meaningfully support the
practical implementation of this proposal Amazing Transformation will occur
before our very eyes.
God
Bless UN. God Bless our World.
