United Nations High Level Political Forum in New York |
|---|
|
I had the opportunity of attending the United Nations High Level Political Forum in New York which brought together 193 member states , policy makers , civil society representatives and stakeholders . It was a huge learning experience , as one of the youngest delegates at this summit , to be deeply involved in the discussions and negotiations of the post 2015 agenda. On 2nd July , I was privileged to deliver a statement on behalf of children and youth . The theme was "Investing in the future we want: What will it require? " Our statement addressed the following : 1. What must be done differently to mobilize and allocate resources so as to realize the SDGs? 2. What does the shared vision to ?leave no one behind? imply in terms of financing for the new development agenda? 3. How to ensure that cross-cutting areas that do not have their ?own? goal, such as disaster risk reduction or transport, receive adequate attention in resource allocation? It was reiterated that realisation of the SDGs will require a time bound, transformative and universal approach. There needs to be an equally high ambition with regards to defining and mobilising the means for their implementation . Finance will be a critical component and it will require substantial upscaling to meet the particular investment needs in all the areas that the SDGs cover. It is imerative to establish transparent accountability mechanisms at all levels – global , regional and nation, for monitoring and review. National reviews need to be the cornerstone and governments should have primary responsibility for implementation.We, the youth , need to be at the forefront of the sustainable development dialogue and this was my objective while participating in the HLPF . |
