SDG 17: Partnerships for the goals

SDG 17

Sustainable Development Goal 17 of the 2030 Agenda focuses on strengthening the means of implementation and revitalizing the global partnership for sustainable development. This goal recognizes that a strong partnership between governments, the private sector, and civil society is essential to achieving all other sustainable development goals.

The specific targets of SDG 17 include:

  1. Finance: Mobilize additional financial resources for developing countries from multiple sources, improve domestic revenue collection capacity, and increase official development assistance (ODA).
  2. Technology: Enhance cooperation and access to science, technology, and innovation, and increase the transfer of environmentally sound technologies to developing countries.
  3. Capacity Building: Strengthen support for capacity-building in developing countries to implement national plans for the SDGs.
  4. Trade: Promote a universal, rules-based, open, non-discriminatory, and equitable multilateral trading system, enhance the exports of developing countries, and implement special and differential treatment for the least developed countries.
  5. Systemic Issues: Enhance policy coherence for sustainable development, respect each country's policy space and leadership to establish and implement policies for poverty eradication and sustainable development.

The global partnership for sustainable development requires a shared vision and shared goals that place people and the planet at the center. Collaboration and coordination among diverse actors at the global, national, and local levels are crucial to addressing the complex challenges the world faces and ensuring that no one is left behind.
