The Platform 2030 Platform claims that brings together more than 40 civil society organizations In anticipation of their presentation at the agency KEYSTONE-nda, Leuthard said that they were taking the allegations seriously and that there was still need to act in various fields in Switzerland.
Switzerland draws a positive conclusion
was in the implementation already "very advanced" and achieved several sub-goals, said the Federal Councilor in his speech. In Switzerland, for example, extreme poverty and hunger do not prevail and education is free, compulsory and of high quality.
To support the implementation of the 2030 Agenda, the National System for Monitoring Sustainable Development has been expanded. The first analysis showed that 39 of the 85 indicators selected had a positive trend, 14 a negative trend. There were no significant developments for 12 indicators and 20 for no evaluation.
Footprint too large
The report also identifies areas where it needs more "effort," such as increased consumption of natural resources. While the population consumes fewer domestic resources, the consumption of foreign resources increases in an unsustainable way; Switzerland's greenhouse gas footprint is too big.
Switzerland also needs an action on the basis of funding to achieve its objectives: The amount of development aid funds stagnates. And the loss of biodiversity continues to progress.
