#UNCTAD60: Why we need urgent action (now) to save the Sustainable Development Goals. The #WeeklyTradecast looks at the Sustainable Development Goals with a special guest – Marina Ponti, Director of the UN SDG Action Campaign. In 2015, United Nations members signed up to 17 SDGs that range from ending extreme poverty to tackling the climate crisis. The goals are supposed to be met by 2030 to fulfill the promise of a better future for people and the planet. But trillions of dollars are needed to meet the targets - and efforts are faltering at a time of turmoil and tensions. Since 1964, when UN Trade and Development (UNCTAD) was created to promote a fairer economic system, the world has seen many sets of challenges and opportunities. Now – and into the future – the SDGs are vital ways to improve people's lives by addressing inequality, sustainability and climate change. Tune in to the UN's Marina Ponti to find out how can we get back on track. Full episode: https://ow.ly/bHul50SF0q7
