AGENDA 2030: SO NOW WHAT? The newly adopted Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) represent the most ambitious effort yet to reduce poverty, tackle inequality and injustice, and protect the planet. That 193 States have all agreed to them is, by any measure, a huge achievement. Yet these goals will count for little if they remain just words on paper. When in New York, we all agreed that the true test of whether the 2030 Agenda lives up to expectations will come in its implementation. Full realisation of every goal and target by every state is essential if the promises of the SDGs are to lead to concrete results and improvements in the lives of children, especially girls, the world over. Not least because the goals of the Agenda are so interlinked and inter-dependent. Importantly, children and young people must be included in both designing the implementation plans of states and in ensuring that implementation is monitored effectively. That will require two things.
Land Use By: Henry Lamb - Sovereignty.net Ownership of land is the foundation of freedom in America. The hope of owning even a small plot of ground compelled our forefathers to brave incalculable risks crossing the ocean and challenging the wilderness. Land ownership was so cherished by our nation's founders that they guaranteed that government could not take private property without just compensation paid to the land owner.

Amina Mohammed on the Sustainable Development Goals This weekend world leaders met at the United Nations in New York City to define a sustainable development agenda through 2030, a process built on the successes, failures and lessons learned from the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) launched in 2000 and expiring at the end of this year. The new Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) serve as a global framework of 17 goals designed to address humanity’s most pressing problems, from poverty and hunger to health, education, gender equality, energy, climate change and environmental sustainability. Earlier this month, TriplePundit spoke with Amina J Mohammed, the UN Secretary-General’s Special Advisor on Post-2015 Development Planning, about the process of defining these goals and turning words into action. The premise is simple: what kind of world do we want? The aspirations of a new century “Quite clearly we never would have embarked on this process if we hadn’t had some success from the first goal-setting that we did in 2000,” says Ms. Ms.
О Целях устойчивого развития 25 сентября 2015 года государства - члены ООН приняли Повестку дня в области устойчивого развития на период до 2030 года. Она содержит ряд целей, направленных на ликвидацию нищеты, сохранение ресурсов планеты и обеспечение благополучия для всех. Каждая из 17 Целей содержит ряд показателей, которые должны быть достигнуты в течение 15 лет. Повестка дня на период до 2030 года - это далеко идущий план масштабных преобразований, включающий 17 взаимосвязанных и неразделимых целей и задач в области устойчивого развития. Повестка дня в области устойчивого развития на период до 2030 года была разработана для того, чтобы добиться улучшения жизни и будущего всех людей во всем мире. Для достижения Целей в области устойчивого развития необходимы совместные усилия правительств, частного сектора, гражданского общества и жителей Земли.
Agenda 2030 – PROG The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted at the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development summit in September 2015, was defined by the UN Secretary-General as an “Agenda for people”. Its key component, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), derived from an intergovernmental process are considered by some as the most democratic and inclusive accomplishment in the history of the UN. It is no surprise that a stand-alone SDG – SDG14 – is dedicated to the oceans and their conservation and sustainable use. The oceans cover two thirds of the planet, provide food for billions of people, play a key role in climate regulation, host a large portion of biological diversity and enable vital economic activities. The 2030 Agenda therefore puts a healthy ocean at the core of the global sustainable development agenda and sets targets for tackling some of the most pressing issues facing the ocean, including overexploitation of natural resources, climate change and pollution.
Land swap deal made highway possible — Phillips News Land swap deal made highway possible — Phillips BY ALPHEA SAUNDERSSenior staff reportersaundersa@jamaicaobsever.comWednesday, May 10, 2017 The Opposition has offered an explanation in the fresh controversy surrounding acres of mainly prime Crown lands being given to the Chinese under a land-swap deal in a 50-year concession agreement with the Government of Jamaica for the construction of the north-south highway.Media reports of the absence of a valuation for 250 acres of land on the north coast that has already been transferred to China Harbour Engineering Company (CHEC) has also caught the attention of the contractor general, Dirk Harrison. At a press conference held at his offices yesterday, Opposition Leader Dr Peter Phillips argued that without the land deal the highway would not have been built. The Government has since been faced with intense criticism for what is seen as an untidy arrangement. He contended that the highway was a good deal for Jamaica.
NSA O'Brien makes good on Trump promise, releases previously redacted Russia document | Just The News National Security Adviser Robert O'Brien made good Friday on President Trump's transparency pledge in the Russia collusion case, releasing in its entirety a previously heavily redacted document from the Robert Mueller probe showing why Russian diplomats met with Trump in May 2017. The memo, which was originally released Wednesday with only three words visible, shows National Security Council official Eric Ciaramella wrote on May 10, 2017 that Trump chose to meet with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov during a visit to Washington based on a request eight days earlier during a phone call with Russian president Vladimir Putin. "May 2, 2017: Putin asks POTUS to receive Lavrov when he stops through DC en route to Arctic Ministerial in Fairbanks, Alaska (a longplanned international meeting); POTUS agrees, and preparations begin," Ciaramella wrote fellow NSC official William R. Kelly, explaining the origins of the Lavrov meeting. You can see the unredacted version here:
Sustainable Development Goals Do you know all 17 SDGs? History The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015, provides a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future. At its heart are the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which are an urgent call for action by all countries - developed and developing - in a global partnership. They recognize that ending poverty and other deprivations must go hand-in-hand with strategies that improve health and education, reduce inequality, and spur economic growth – all while tackling climate change and working to preserve our oceans and forests.

Счет. затрат, подлежащих возмещению в 2019 году за счет субсидий на поддержку и развитие малого и среднего предпринимательства, и предельный объем их возмещения UN Agenda 2030: A Recipe for Global Socialism The United Nations and its mostly autocratic member regimes have big plans for your life, your children, your country, and your world. And those plans are not limited to the coercive “climate” agreement recently concluded in Paris. While the establishment media in the United States was hyping ISIS, football, and of course “global warming,” virtually every national government/dictatorship on the planet met at the 70th annual General Assembly at UN headquarters in New York to adopt a draconian 15-year master plan for the planet. The master plan is comprised of 17 “Post-2015 Sustainable Development Goals” (SDGs) with 169 specific “targets” to be foisted on all of humanity — literally all of it, as the plan itself states explicitly. Officially dubbed “Agenda 2030,” the UN plot, as its full title suggests, is aimed at “transforming” the world. “This Agenda is a plan of action for people, planet and prosperity,” reads the preamble. The Agenda How much will Agenda 2030 cost? Yes, trillions.
Conservation International: privatizing nature, plundering biodiversity Aziz Choudry Conservation International's corporate sponsor list reads like a list of the US' top fifty transnational corporations. Biodiversity conservation is at the top of Conservation International's list of goals. But as the list of Conservation International's dubious ventures and questionable partners around the world grows, Aziz Choudry is starting to wonder if it is time to ‘out' this ‘multinational conservation corporation' and show its true colours. Headquartered in Washington, D.C, with operations in over 30 countries on four continents, Conservation International claims to be an environmental NGO. A more plausible explanation might be that a time when transnational corporations are confronted with global resistance and opposition to their activities, they are seeking to project a green image of themselves. Lubricating the gears of biopiracy Bioprospecting is a central plank of Conservation International's work. Footnotes
Leaked Call Reveals Biden Risked National Security To Sabotage Trump A recently leaked phone call between then-Vice President Joe Biden and Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko directly after the 2016 presidential election shows that Biden sought to sabotage the incoming Trump administration before Donald Trump even took office, and much worse. During the course of the call, Biden badmouthed the incoming administration, saying, “The truth of the matter is that the incoming administration doesn’t know a great deal about [Ukraine]” and that they were unprepared for the transition. This in itself is inappropriate, but it was meant to set the stage for Biden’s next statement and future plans. Biden then told Poroshenko, “I don’t plan on going away.
