"We must remain true to the direction followed by the international community. We prioritize such universal values as the protection of the rights of socially vulnerable people, the protection of the planet, and economic development aimed at creating prosperity and well-being for all."
The coalition includes representatives of Russian NGOs, business, educational institutions, research institutes, trade unions, civic activists, whose expertise covers all areas of sustainable development.
Members of the Coalition share and support the resolution adopted by the UN General Assembly on September 25, 2015 "Transforming our world: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development" (2030 Agenda), as well as the principles of the Coalition.
Why are we doing this?
In 2015, Russia, together with other 192 countries, signed and adopted the 2030 Agenda, which is focused on 17 Sustainable Development Goals and their 169 goals. They must be achieved by December 31, 2030 (with the exception of certain tasks with earlier dates). The outcome document of the 2030 Agenda combines all the SDGs, emphasizing the importance of the principle "Leave no one aside" and the concept of "Planetary boundaries".
The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development is not a legally binding document, but it does have a high-level status and a ministerial review. The 2030 Agenda and the SDGs is a social contact between country leaders and their citizens. The SDGs include all the elements of the prosperous existence of humanity on the planet now and in the future. We are gathered in the Coalition, because the implementation of the 2030 Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals is important for each of us.
Our principles:
The strength of the Coalition is to bring together various civil society representatives committed to the common values reflected in Agenda 2030:
