Deputy for Politics, Law and Security at the Ministry of National Development Planning/Bappenas, Bogat Widyatmoko, said that efforts to achieve the target Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) or sustainable development globally is experiencing a slowdown.
The target that should have been achieved in 2030 had to be postponed in almost all countries due to various global challenges.
The challenges experienced in the last decade are political tensions that have triggered a number of conflicts between countries, a multiracial deficit that has made collaboration or cooperation between countries less intensive, and also the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic.
“At least these three have caused the achievement of the 2030 SDGs targets almost all over the world to be delayed or not as expected,” he said at a press conference for the High-Level Forum on Multi-Stakeholder Partnerships (HLF MSP) 2024, in Bali, Sunday (1/9).
Bogat said that based on these conditions, Indonesia has designed the 2020-2045 RPJMN, the essence of which is that in the next 20 years Indonesia wants to be a leader in the region. Bappenas also initiated the HLF MSP international forum in order to strengthen collaboration.
“This is one of the commitments to invite all stakeholders, both in countries in the global south and throughout the world in triangular countries, to jointly make innovative, collaborative efforts to solve the problems that I mentioned earlier. Among them is how we accelerate the SDGs that have been left behind,” he explained.
