SDG and Paris Climate Conference
Why the SDGs
-
MDG is over in Dec. 2015
-
A new UN initiative for ensuring cohesion in global exercise of
ending poverty following time line and already adopted (17
specific goals with 169 associated targets).
-
Refreshing the global partnership and cooperation strategies.
What’s differ with MDG???

SDG and Paris Climate Conference
Present MDG situation: A global picture
Economic context and present global poverty
The world in 2013 in every 100 people;
-
17 live (more than 01bn) in extreme income poverty on less than
US$1.25 a day
-
37 live on less than US$2 a day.
-
57 million children of primary school age do not attend school
-
12 live in a slum and 35 have no access to a decent toilet
-

Present MDG situation: A global picture
Social context (Increasing inequality)
-
In 2014, the richest 1% of people in the world owned 48% of global
wealth. If this trend continues of an increasing wealth share to the
richest, the top 1% will cross 50% wealth than the remaining 99% of
people in just two years by 2016.
-
The wealth of these 80 individuals is now the same as that owned by
the bottom 50% of the global population, such that 3.5 billion people
share between them the
-
Every year, developing countries lose US$1tn from illicit financial
flows.

-
Bangladesh losing US$ 6.84/capita which is 2.35bn/yr.

Cause & relation: Failure of global partnership
-
Developed countries didn’t met their commitment of 0.7% of GNI
-
ODA pushed to privatization that denied access to
essential services for poor.
-

BD performance in MDG
Progress as “Business as Usual”
-
Poverty rate as 26%
-
Primary Enrollment “High drop out rate”
-
Reducing Child mortality and improve maternal health
“Accumulative calculation”.
(Economic Review 2015)
But not in the track on, ending extreme poverty & hunger, achieving
quality primary education, gender equality, empowerment of women and
environmental sustainability.

Where the challenges for BD in SDGs
-
Resource Mobilization
-
Climate Change and its new multiplex impact like;
▪ Agriculture & FS
▪ Loss & damage of national resources and recovery investment
▪ Human Migration etc.
Over all, country needs to change its development approach and
strategies with huge additional investment.
So, it is important to influence the CoP-21 process & decisions to be fit
with SDG requirements and achievement.

CoP-21 process: “An strategic global milestone towards 2030”
LBA: Our stand points in the negotiation
-
Oppose the tricky membership criteria.
-
LBA must be recognized historical responsibilities of GHG emission.

No loopholes for some country parties to slip through their
obligations.
-
Punishment for non-compliance countries

CoP-21 process: “An strategic global milestone towards 2030”
LBA: Our stand points in the negotiation
-
Clear statement regarding the time line of mitigation, peaking period
to limit the temperature rise below 1.5oC by 2100.
-
LBA must be focused on adaptation parallel with mitigation
-
No false solution proposed through LBA.
-
LDCs will be voluntary contributors to INDC.
-
Balanced process proposed of financing in both adaptation &
mitigation.

Must be coherent with SDG goals like climate change, restore
ecosystem and environmental sustainability requirement.
-
Firm commitment from rich countries for pre 20 and post 2020
-
Adequate, additional and Public Finance for LDCs.

-
Allocation Strategy: Compensation and Reparation focus

Technology shifting: Our stand points in the negotiation
-
No IPR regime for MVCs, rather it might be cost sharing maximum.
-
All sort technology (for both adaptation and mitigation)
have to be provided following country specific and need base.
-
LBA must be provisioned for representation of LDCs to ensured in
Technology, assessment, transfer and support mechanism.

CoP-21 : Would transform our world be possible leaving the issues ????
We should continue challenging our governments to:
►
Uphold the primacy of human rights: States must be held
accountability to all dev. actors adhere to human rights, including when
they operate across borders.
►
Tackle inequality and the overconcentration of wealth: must implement
redistributive and progressive measures to promote equality .
►
Rein in corporate power: States should adopt a strong independent
regulatory framework to ensure and respecting human rights.
►
Stop militarization and war: Governments should put a cap on military
spending and progressively reduce this in order to promote
sustainable development, social justice, and lasting peace.
