Launched in 2015, the UN Sustainable Development Goals provided focus and hope that by 2030 we could address our most pressing global challenges. Now at the halfway point it is clear that on many fronts, we are far behind in achieving our goals. Canada’s Ambassador to the UN, Bob Rae, will highlight where progress has been made and where we must double down in the time remaining to 2030 to achieve our commitments and realize the promise of the SDGs.
