Berlin: German Council for Sustainable Development

Volltext/Full text

The current approach to governing the UN’s sustainable development work has a number of shortcomings. If improved, the UN could more ambitiously support national efforts for sustainable development in the remaining nine years until 2030.

More ambitious UN reforms for include establishing a UN Sustainable Development Council – an upgraded and transformed ECOSOC.
