1. UNDP’s SDG Experiences (Lessons & Recommendations for SIDS)
PRESENTER: RICHARD KELLY, UNDP

2. Key Lessons: The Environment Is Uncertain
From puzzles to mysteries
systemic or structural challenges
– ‘wicked’ or complex problems –
across the three dimensions of sustainable development
and/or the humanitarian-development-peacebuilding nexus
from micro macro problem-solving
from incremental transformational change

3. The Sustainable Development Approach

The Sustainable Development Approach
1 D Thinking

4. Mapping SAMOA Pathway to the 2030 Agenda
UNDP provides direct support to the Alliance of Small Island States (AOSIS) Secretariat. AOSIS provides a political platform to voice the needs and position of SIDS across the intergovernmental process.
Emphasis on economic growth and decent work for all, with strong reference to poverty reduction and sustainable tourism (direct links to SDG-1 on poverty; SDG-8 on jobs and growth; access to energy SDG-7, and infrastructure SDG-9)
Impact of climate change and the vulnerabilities of islands to extreme weather events, sea-level rise, coastal erosion, ocean acidification, and food insecurity (direct links to SDG-13 on climate; SDG-2 on hunger; SDG-14 on oceans, SDG-15 on life on land) – relevance to the commitments made at COP-21 in Paris
Means of implementation under the SAMOA Pathway maps very well against the 2030 Agenda: financing, partnerships, trade, capacity, building, data and statistics, technology, monitoring and accountability…
Clear links to the Sendai Framework on DRR – given the relevance of early warning systems, need for technical assistance for post-disaster response and recovery, disaster preparedness etc.

The 2030 Agenda cannot be achieved by Governments alone. To address the needs of the most vulnerable in communities around the world, we need a bolder approach to partnership, a dynamically engaged business community, and new forms of sustainability financing
