BookletSDGs for people, planet and prosperity
FAO’s SDG compliance work as a means for leveraging sustainable investments in agri-food systems
2019Also available in:
No results found.This paper provides an overview of the rationale, background, methodology and scope of FAO’s support to compliance with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, along with the Addis Ababa Action Agenda (AAAA) on Financing for Development, calls for worldwide action from governments, private sector and civil society to align their strategies, operations and activities with the principles outlined in the SDGs. The 2030 Agenda marks a significant shift from traditional development approaches by recognizing the important role the private sector has to play in achieving sustainable development for all. Financing the realization of all SDGs will require additional annual investments of approximately 2.5 trillion and it is essential to engage the private sector and to ensure that private investments be SDG-compliant. In line with its responsibilities as a custodian UN agency for 21 SDG indicators and as a contributing agency for a further six, FAO is actively working towards mainstreaming SDG compliance into private sector operations along agricultural value chains. The Organization is enhancing its support to the creation of enabling environments for SDG-compliant investments, while also significantly increasing its engagement with financial institutions. The ultimate aim of this process is to ensure that FAO’s strong knowledge base available for governments is suitable for being integrated into investment contracts of loans, guarantees and equity, which development bankers and, indeed, private banks and investment funds are signing. -

Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetFAO COVID-19 Response and Recovery Programme - Economic inclusion and social protection to reduce poverty
Pro-poor COVID-19 responses for an inclusive post-pandemic economic recovery
2020The COVID-19 pandemic is, directly and indirectly, impacting health and well-being around the globe. Illness and containment measures are compounding the social and economic disadvantages of the most vulnerable in society. These social and economic impacts stand to cause devastating setbacks to efforts to achieve the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Pervasive inequalities between rural and urban inhabitants, rich and poor, women and men will exacerbate these effects. People in areas impacted by severe climate change, conflict, forced displacement, and migration will be even more vulnerable. Vulnerable groups include rural women, youth and children, indigenous people, the elderly, and people with disabilities. The COVID-19 pandemic has also significantly affected migrants, including refugees and internally displaced people, casual labourers and seasonal migrants, all of whom are exposed to high risk of infection. Economic recovery programmes that do not address these inequalities and place emphasis on pro-poor recovery plans run the risk of reinforcing inequalities in the future. Social protection will be expanded to better reach women, children, informal workers, migrants, and other underserved groups. Integrate rural areas into risk-informed and shock-responsive social-protection components, linked with early warning, conflict-sensitive programming, and climate adaptation.
