MDG TO SDG

Sustainable development This concept gained traction during the Rio Summits in 1992 and 2012.

• 1992: Rio Earth Summit• 2012: Rio+20

Millennium Development Goals (MDGs)

Served as a framework for global action and cooperation on development in 2000-2015.

• 2000-15: UN Millennium Declaration & MDGs

Post 2015 development agenda process

Brought together the two strands & extended public participation in defining the new agenda.

2012–15: UN-led global conversation 8.5 million people engaged in deciding

what should go in the post-2015 agenda, and how the agenda should be implemented2015: UN Summit: Post-2015 agenda and 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

MDG TO SDG

Eight (8) Millennium Development Goals18 Targets and 48 indicators

Seventeen (17) Sustainable Development Goals169 targets and __ indicators

PHILIPPINE PERFORMANCE ON THE MDG

• Growth has not been inclusive (steady GDP rise but low in job employment

• Having jobs does not necessarily meant they are not poor

• Inequality has declined slightly at the national level; inequality in the urban areas went down but it increased in the rural areas

• Growth not visible where the poor are economically active

FROM MDGS…

Due by September 2015

The greatest triumph of the MDGs was to mobilize broad support for a global development agenda

While there was progress on many of the MDGs has been made in certain areas (health goals) the global promise will in almost all certainty go unfulfilled by 2015 (poverty, ODA)

Three major criticisms of the MDGs are (1) it was developed by a small group of experts and was not member state driven (2) it is too aid focused/donor driven and (3) it completely overlooked the issue of inequality

…TO THE POST 2015 SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK

A successor framework for a post 2015 development agenda was shaped through a comprehensive process, which brings together the social, environmental and economic dimensions of peace & development.

There was a proliferation of processes engaging governments, non-profits, grassroots, business, scientists, cultural workers, academe, think-tanks among others but UN General Assembly will ultimately have a final decision in September 2015

Pretty clear that it will include MDGs “unfinished business” around UN ownership

WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?

What’s missing?

No recognition of structural flaws of current development model (if they are not properly understood, it cannot be strategically eradicated. T )

Human rights based approach

What should advocates critically watch for:

Strong private flows without safeguards

Explicit reduction of subsidies in agriculture

What’s there? (though not without criticism) People, Planet, Profit, Peace and Partnerhsip

Employment and Decent work

Gender Equality ( imbalances in power, wealth and resources)

Climate Change

Inequality (Explicit about minimum living wages, collective bargaining and social protection floors)

WHY FILIPINO YOUTH SHOULD ENGAGE ON SDG?

These goals are for you and for the next generation. For 15 years, SDGs will affect you.

Lack of improvement in the performance indicators of basic education

Low success rate in professional examinations

A still inadequate number of secondary and tertiary schools

Increasing proportion of educated among the unemployed

Increasing youth pregnancies, HIV-AIDS, drug depedency

Increasing vulnerabilities of youth with special needs: indigenous youth, differently -abled youth, youth in situations of armed conflict, young victims of disasters and calamities, youth offenders, juvenile delinquent, drug dependent youth, street youth, abused and exploited youth, and abandoned and neglected

Yet, are not organized to participate in civic, political and economic decisionmaking.

HOW TO ENGAGE? AROUSE!

Youth must harness their creativity and innovation in addressing social problems

New habits must be used to tackle their own issues Discuss SDG issues using social media!

6 in 10 of young people in this age range are regular internet

more than half have social network and email account

78 percent have mobile phones

Spends 6 hours to as much as 35 hours of internet use a week online.
