12. The SDGs are embedded in
a larger agreement called
“Transforming Our World:
The 2030 Agenda for
Sustainable Development”

13. Important to remember:
Most observers expected
the negotiations on the SDGs
and the 2030 Agenda
to end badly.

14. Instead, they ended like this …

19. Planetary boundaries: Guiding human development on a changing planet
Steffen, et al., 15 Jan 2015
The Planetary Boundaries, Updated 2015

20. The original eight Millennium Development Goals

21. What is new and different
about the 17 SDGs?
First, and most important, these Goals apply to every nation … and every sector.
Cities, businesses, schools, organizations, all are challenged to act.This is called
Universality

22. Second, it is recognized that the Goals are all inter-connected, in a system.We
cannot aim to achieve just one Goal.We must achieve them all.This is called
Integration

23. And finally, it is widely recognized that achieving these Goals involves making very
big, fundamental changes in how we live on Earth.This is called
Transformation

24. Reviewing the SDGs

67. Implementing the SDGs
How is it expected to happen?
Who is expected to do what?
How will we track progress?

68. Implementation by Governments
• Each government decides how seriously to engage on the 2030 Agenda;
engagement and implementation are completely voluntary (even though the UN
likes to call it “compulsory”)
• Countries should assess their existing policies against the 17 Goals and 169
Targets — keeping in mind the principles of universality, transformation, and
integration — and revise accordingly
• They should develop any necessary integration mechanisms (e.g. cross-
ministerial platforms, inter-departmental task forces) and build additional
capacities as needed (e.g. statistical)
• Reporting is to the UN HLPF using recommended indicators and protocols

70. Implementation in Business
• Review and become familiar with the goals and targets
• Identify elements of the SDG agenda that are not already represented in a
company’s sustainability or CSR portfolio
• Harmonize goals and reporting, etc. with the SDGs — as they are relevant to your
country / company
• Monitor how policy signals linked to SDG implementation will result in changes
in regulation, market conditions, and new possible business opportunities
• Generally embrace, support, and promote the SDGs and the global 2030 Agenda

• Sustainable Development is no longer green, marginal, an
add-on, etc.
• SD is essential, integrative, action-oriented, motivational,
transformational, providing clear value-added to every sector.

92. 2. Beat the drum
• Set up new routines and procedures that embody the “big three”:
Universality, Integration,Transformation
• When governmental openness is limited, the establishment of
regular, multi-stakeholder processes is more important, not less.
Tell the story over and over

93. 3. Form a new band
• Raise the level of integration, e.g. hierarchical position and
coordination function, in the constellations of people, processes, and
institutional arrangements for implementing SD
• Get new personalities mobilized to multiply and amplify the
messaging
Make sure the right people are telling the story

• Go to where the actors are, especially those who are not currently or
usually involved in SD processes (e.g. finance, social dimension,
lagging economic sectors, etc.)
• Create or use the venues, events, processes etc. where those
audiences can be reached
