Global governance — Global
The last four years have seen a fractured and antagonistic approach to global affairs. What are the prizes to be gained from global leaders working together towards common goals? Is a new era possible?
Gender — Global
The pandemic is negatively impacting women more than men, by exacerbating already entrenched inequalities. We need bold, transformative action to dismantle the barriers to women’s progress if we are to achieve SDG 5 by the end of the decade
Health — Middle East and Northern Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa
Despite the will, many developing countries lack the resources to deal with a problem that ravages at both the national and individual level. We need smarter, context-specific solutions on nutrition that can catalyze sustainable change
Food systems and sustainable agriculture — Europe
The Life ADA project, launched in Italy in autumn 2020, will provide practical support to the sector to face the challenges of climate change
Climate — Global
With a stronger concentration of national leaders who recognize the need to act, what can we now realistically hope to achieve on climate action?
Climate — Global
After years of rhetoric and little action, is this year finally the moment when political will, technological advancement, and ESG investment combine to set the Earth on a path to net zero?
As political mantras go, “we’re guided by the science” ranks high. Yet established policymaking structures mean scientific considerations are often marginalized. We need bold reform now to place science genuinely at the heart of decision-making
Biodiversity — Global
Without action, this century will see many more species go extinct. Halting biodiversity loss calls for all countries to act now to transform how we produce, consume, and manage resources
Financing — Global, Latin America and the Caribbean
If generating the finance to achieve the SDGs seemed a tall order pre-pandemic, it looks much harder now. We must rapidly accelerate the take-up of financial instruments for sustainable development, and attract a wider range of investors, if we’re to meet the 2030 deadline
Climate — US and Canada
The US is once again committed to tackling climate change. Can it succeed, and take the rest of the world with it?
