Rescuing the SDGs: General Assembly highlights ‘world’s to-do list’ #IndiaNEWS #International
The UN Secretary-General and the President of the 77TH General Assembly joined world leaders and Goodwill Ambassadors on Monday in a global call to rescue the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and get back on track to building a better world that “leaves no one behind???.

The 2022 SDG Moment, which places an annual spotlight on the 17 Global Goals agreed by countries in December 2015, took place as the world faces a deepening cost-of-living crisis against the backdrop of the Ukraine war and the COVID-19 pandemic, which have halted development, especially in low-income countries.
“The world has a long ‘to do’ list???, António Guterres told world leaders, asking for more finance and investment from the public and private sectors, to meet growing needs.
