It's Gone Off the Rails: The Global Sustainability Crisis.
Manage episode 415457111 series 2571140
We're 6 years out from the Sustainable Development Goals, and it's not looking good. The COVID-19 pandemic, Russia's war against Ukraine, and now war in the Middle East have put a handbrake on the global goals. What's more, the cost of everything has gone up, and it will likely mean that hundreds of millions of people will not ascend out of poverty by 2030. To help us understand the rough ride ahead, Oliver Schwank joins us to explain why we're off track, and what we need to do to get back on.
Mr. Oliver Schwank is a senior economist in the Financing for Sustainable Development Office of the UN’s Department of Economic and Social Affairs, and the author of the thematic chapter of the 2023 Financing for Sustainable Development Report: Financing Sustainable Transformations. He is part of the policy analysis team that leads the substantive follow-up to the Addis Ababa Action Agenda on Financing for Development, and focuses on debt sustainability and integrated financing frameworks.
