Social Watch vous invitons à participer à notre effort collectif renouvelé pour rendre les gouvernements responsables des promesses ambitieuses qu'ils nous ont faites. L'Agenda 2030, adopté en 2015 au plus haut niveau par les Nations Unies, englobe dans 17 objectifs de développement durable une vision de développement durable sans pauvreté, avec moins d'inégalités et plus de justice sociale et de genre tout en respectant les frontières planétaires. Le réseau Social Watch a contribué à rendre ces engagements responsables devant les peuples en publiant et en soumettant à l'examen du Forum politique de haut niveau des rapports nationaux de 47 pays et en soulignant leurs conclusions dans les rapports Spotlight mondiaux. |
