The Covid-19 pandemic is a setback for
sustainable development in Europe and the rest of the world. The
EU is still in the midst of the health crisis and the urgent
priority remains the suppression of the virus. Compared with
countries in the Asia-Pacific, EU countries record more cases
and deaths from COVID-19. Learning the lessons from the current
crisis and strengthening EU’s preparedness, coordination and
resilience for pandemics is key to achieve SDG target 3.d but
also to prepare Europe for other critical risks including
climate risks.
The SDGs and Paris Climate Agreement provide a
roadmap for a sustainable, inclusive and resilient recovery. The
recovery should aim to make the EU more sustainable, inclusive
and resilient based on the European Green Deal and addressing
all 17 SDGs. The Next Generation EU – COVID-19 recovery package
as well as the next Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF
2021-2027) offer the chance to put Europe’s recovery and future
on a sustainable path. 2021 can be the “Super Year” for the SDGs
and Climate and biodiversity action. It will provide
opportunities for the EU and its member states to play a
leadership role in sustainable development and to streamline the
SDGs and Paris Climate Agreement in international events,
including the COP Climate, the COP Biological Diversity (CBD),
the World Food Summit as well as the High-Level Political Forum,
UNGA and G20 meetings. The commitment made by China to achieve
climate neutrality and other similar pledges made recently by
several countries around the world can provide a momentum for
accelerated actions and transformations for a sustainable
future.
Building on its well-received first
edition 2019,
the ESDR2020 provides an updated SDG Index and Dashboards for
the EU, EU member states and partner countries as well as
recommendations to strengthen the implementation of the SDGs and
European Green Deal.
This report was made possible thanks to the
support of the German Federal Ministry of the Environment,
Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMU) and the German
Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ).
We are also grateful for the support provided by the Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung
and the European Network of Political Foundations. The report
was produced by SDSN and IEEP in collaboration with the European
Economic and Social Committee (EESC), SDSN Germany, and other
national and regional SDSN networks in Europe. |
