Dahboo77 on 2030 AGENDA: IMF Promises Action On Sustainable Development Goals

(Before It's News)

Dahboo77 is going to expose the evil agenda of the IMF. Secretary-General, Royal Highnesses, Excellencies, Ladies, and Gentlemen—there is an old saying: in unity lies strength. Two months ago, in Addis Ababa, the international community put this to the test. We pledged to secure financing to make sustainable development not an ambition, but a reality for all.

Today we face yet another moment of truth as we come together to adopt the Sustainable Development Goals. Our joint success will depend on decisive action and implementation—at both country and collective levels.

1. At the Country Level: Countries can and must act at three levels: economically, socially, and environmentally.

First, macroeconomic stability is a pre-requisite for a sustainable economy—but it is not sufficient on its own. While priorities vary across countries, structural reforms and efforts to diversify the economy are often required. Equally, revenue mobilization and efficient, effective public spending—including investment—will be key.

A second priority is inclusion. I affirm that more inclusive growth is also stronger growth—so we must empower people to fulfil their potential. Improving girls’ education and removing barriers to women’s employment and access to finance, would not only boost growth, but also tackle income inequality and poverty. Because let us not forget that poverty and exclusion are sexist.

The environment is a third priority. Countries have a crucial stake in managing their natural resources efficiently and effectively. At the same time, limiting the harmful impact of economic activity on the environment can and will require targeted interventions.

In short, each country must do all it can to drive its own development. But durable progress cannot be achieved in isolation—it requires engagement from the international community. So we need collective action. Why?
