實(shí)現(xiàn)2030年可持續(xù)發(fā)展議程有賴于所有91個(gè)國(guó)家能力的顯著提高?！?030年議程》的核心是承諾以不讓任何一個(gè)國(guó)家掉隊(duì)為首要目標(biāo)。在《議程》中所包含的目標(biāo)被通過(guò)兩年多以來(lái)，目前我們所面臨的是如何解決飽受困苦的國(guó)家人們的生活和生計(jì)問(wèn)題。
能力需求存在于各不同部門(mén)和領(lǐng)域，例如衛(wèi)生、教育、水、能源、基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施、農(nóng)業(yè)可持續(xù)發(fā)展、城市和安全部門(mén)改革，以及一些跨領(lǐng)域方面，尤其是規(guī)劃、預(yù)算、統(tǒng)計(jì)和數(shù)據(jù)、技術(shù)合作、協(xié)助籌集財(cái)政資源、加強(qiáng)伙伴關(guān)系及提高多方利益相關(guān)者的參與度。

在中國(guó)政府的支持下，在與清華大學(xué)全球可持續(xù)發(fā)展研究院和日內(nèi)瓦大學(xué)的密切合作下，我期待著能夠更好的為有需要的國(guó)家服務(wù)并為中國(guó)提供一個(gè)培訓(xùn)平臺(tái)，特別是在目前“一帶一路”倡議的背景下，它的規(guī)模和輻射力為2030年可持續(xù)發(fā)展議程提供了大量的發(fā)展機(jī)會(huì)。

Lecture Synopsis:
The challenges in implementing the 2030 Agenda can only be met with a significant increase in capacities, particularly in the 91 countries in special situations. At the heart of the 2030 Agenda is the promise to reach the furthest first whilst leaving no one behind. Over two years since the historic adoption of the goals and targets contained in the Agenda, the question is now how to translate these commitments to the lives and livelihoods of people in countries which are most severely
distressed.
Capacity needs exists across various sectoral areas, e.g. health, education, water, energy, infrastructure, sustainable agriculture, cities and security sector reform, and in cross cutting areas especially in planning, budgeting, statistics and data, technology cooperation, assistance in raising financial resources, and in strengthening partnerships and multistakeholder engagement.
The United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR) is committed to strengthening meaningful platforms for multistakeholder engagement and to delivering training to ensure that Governments, private sector, civil society and other key actors have the knowledge, skills and resources needed to deliver holistically on the integrated nature of the Agenda.
With the partnership and expertise of the Tsinghua University SDG Institute and the University of Geneva, hand-in-hand with the Government of the People’s Republic of China, I look forward to encouraging curricula that serve the needs of countries in special situations as well as provide a training platform for China, particularly in the context of the One Belt One Road Initiative; the size and scope of which presents a multitude of opportunities for sustainable development and progress across the 2030 Agenda.
