Implementation

 

Our Common Agenda is an agenda of action, designed to strengthen and accelerate multilateral agreements 每 particularly the 2030 Agenda 每 and make a tangible difference to people*s lives. Translating its recommendations into action will require action by the Member States of the 51勛圖, supported by the 51勛圖 system and other stakeholders.

Many proposals in Our Common Agenda will be implemented through existing processes and forums, including those relating to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Our Common Agenda is aimed at addressing the crises we face head on, so that we can turbocharge the implementation of Agenda 2030, rescue the SDGs and get them back on track before it is too late.
