1. What is “Sustainable Development” as an ultimate goal?

Development that meets the needs of the present while safeguarding Earth’s life‐support system, on which the welfare of current and future generations depends

Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. (Brundtland Report, 1987)

Menu of Targets for the Sustainable Development Goals: Two Approaches

Regional, national, and local targets are connected directly to the global target. 

Regional, national, and local targets are nested within targets at higher levels.

A Multi‐layered Approach for SDGs

Targets – Multi‐layered– Take advantage of diversity of stakeholders dealing with issuesand generating new ideas – focal points for stakeholders

• Global targets – guide the actions

• Sub‐global targets, where possible and relevant– Avoid “one‐size‐fits‐all”: take advantage of diversity, while guiding actions of stakeholders

– Design to help achieve the global goals and targets

– Strong international review and accountability mechanism are key for making progress

• Indicators are selected based on the capabilities– Important in defining baselines and starting points

A Multi-layered Approach in the text

Multi‐level approach in the OWG texts

“Targets are defined as global targets, with each government setting its own national targets guided by the global level of ambition but taking into account national circumstances.” (Zero draft rev1, 30 July)

“Targets are defined as aspirational global targets, with each government setting its own national targets guided by the global level of ambition but taking into account national circumstances.” (OWG Outcome doc. Introduction, 19 July 9:23am)

Good governance: Characteristics related to the process of rulemaking and their institutional foundations, includes: transparency, accountability, participation, access to information, fighting corruption, securing basic human rights, and the rule of law.

Effective governance: The capacity of institutions to resolve problems of public policy and implement effective rules. Crucial issues for the 21st

century include the ability of institutions to engage in long‐term planning for sustainable development and planetary stewardship, and to deal with interconnected problems of earth system governance.

Equitable Governance: Equitable application of the rule of law and equity in the distribution of wealth and opportunity within society.
