BSR Insight | UN Report: Government Must Help Align Sustainability
The UN Secretary-General’s High-Level Panel on Global Sustainability’s new “Resilient People, Resilient Planet: A Future Worth Choosing” report—which builds on the seminal 1987 Brundtland Report—contains a host of recommendations to put sustainable development into practice worldwide. Recommendations for governments include:
- Consider establishing a global fund for education.
- Advance “green jobs” as a budget priority.
- Scale up integrated water resource management schemes, and commit to the establishment of regional oceans and coastal-management frameworks.
- Ensure universal access to affordable, sustainable energy by 2030.
- Establish sustainability-focused price signals to guide consumption and investment decisions for all levels of society.
- Strengthen the connections between policymaking and science to encourage informed decision-making on sustainability issues.
