Civil Society Report on the implementation of the 2030 Agenda
On June 20, the Federal Council published its voluntary national report on the implementation of the 2030 Agenda in and by Switzerland. The Swiss Platform Agenda 2030, in which KOFF is a member, published its own report on 3 July with the title « How sustainable is Switzerland? Implementing the 2030 Agenda from a civil society perspective ». In the Report, Civil society highlights the challenges ahead for Switzerland and completes the country report, which missed out on many important points. The platform shows in 11 recommendations, which measures need to be taken, to get Switzerland on track for sustainable development. Chapter 11 (p. 58) of the report is dedicated to Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 16 “Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions”. It emphasizes the interaction of Peace and Justice with the other SDGs. Particularly the reciprocal influence with poverty, education, gender equality, economic growth, social inequality, sustainable cities and partnerships between countries are mentioned.
