SDG16+ TARGETS
36 SDG targets directly measure an aspect of peace, inclusion, or access to justice, with only a third of these found in SDG16, we call these the SDG16+ targets.
SDG16 sets 12 targets for promoting peaceful, just and inclusive societies...
... but this goal should not be seen in isolation...
24 targets from seven other goals directly measure an aspect of peace, inclusion, or access to justice
...this is a shift from SDG16 to SDG16+
Prevent
Invest in prevention so that all societies and people reach their full potential.
Renew
Transform institutions so that they can meet aspirations for a more prosperous, inclusive and sustainable future.
Involve
Include and empower people so that they can fulfill their potential to work for a better future.
TRANSFORMATIVE STRATEGIES
Provide a basis for integrated action and partnerships
All countries must reduce violence and resolve disputes peacefully, while promoting inclusion and reducing polarization and distrust.
Intensive and targeted forms of prevention are needed if the risks of violence and insecurity are growing.
Even during a crisis, prevention must be a priority, stopping a further deterioration and building foundations for sustainable development
At a time of spiralling crisis and unacceptable levels of violence, a new commitment to prevention will provide a platform that allows societies and citizens to live in peace and to prosper.
Prevent
Invest in prevention so that all societies and people reach their full potential.
The shift to a more sustainable and resilient path requires institutions capable of accelerating progress towards sustainable development.
Good governance should not be seen in isolation, but is a task for all sectors and parts of society.
Flexible approaches are needed to identify and solve the problems that matter most to people, and to reach the furthest behind.
Renew
Transform institutions so that they can meet aspirations for a more prosperous, inclusive and sustainable future.
Institutions have to be reconfigured to meet the challenges that matter most to people. An institutional renewal will underpin goals for people, planet, prosperity and peace.
Involve
Include and empower people so that they can fulfill their potential to work for a better future.
Social, economic and political inclusion holds the key to fostering peaceful societies, and to meet the needs of the most vulnerable.
Inclusion is needed for the implementation of all parts of the 2030 Agenda, challenging all sectors to work in most participatory and transparent ways.
Women, children, young people, and excluded groups must be empowered, allowing them to fulfill their potential as active agents of change.
Many feel excluded from their societies and from globalization. Greater inclusion and empowerment will enable growing numbers of people to work together for a better world.
CATALYTIC ACTIONS
To accelerate progress towards peaceful, just and inclusive societes
Scale up violence prevention for women and children, and for vulnerable groups
We have growing understanding of what works to prevent violence against women and children, and an obligation to confront modern slavery, human trafficking, child labor, and other forms of abuse.
Targets
16.1, 16.2, 16.a, 4.7, 5.2, 5.3, 8.7
Increase justice and legal empowerment
We have an opportunity to promote the rule of law and increase access to justice in all countries, with a substantial impact on the most vulnerable
and furthest behind.
Targets
16.3
Legal identity and birth registration for all
Universal birth registration and robust legal identity for all will help people secure their rights and provide a foundation for delivering the 2030 Agenda to those who are furthest behind.
Targets
16.9
Build safe, inclusive, and resilient cities
Cities can lead efforts to strengthen safety and increase community cohesion, unleashing the innovation needed to deliver the 2030 Agenda. Poorly planned urbanization could create new risks.
Targets
4.a, 8.8, 11.1, 11.2, 11.3, 11.7
Commitment to open and responsive government
The 2030 Agenda provides a platform for building effective, accountable and transparent institutions, and for increasing their capacity to meet people's needs and respect their rights.
Targets
16.6, 16.8, 1.b, 10.4, 17.1
Empower people as agents of change
Inclusion must be an active process, giving people tangible opportunities for meaningful participation in their societies and transforming the way they relate to their governments.
Targets
16.7, 16.10, 16.b, 4.7, 5.5, 10.2, 10.7
Targeted prevention for countries and communities most likely to be left behind
All countries must make an active commitment to prevention, but additional and urgent support is needed for the poorest and most vulnerable countries as they implement the 2030 Agenda.
Targets
16.1, 16.6, 16.a, 4.7
Reduce corruption and illicit financial and arms flows
Fighting corruption stemming illicit financial and arms flows, and strengthening the recovery and return of stolen assets will contribute to the delivery of all Sustainable Development Goals.
Targets
16.4, 16.5, 16.6, 10.5, 10.6, 17.10
Respect all human rights and promote gender equality
Early action on rights and equality is needed to build peaceful, just and inclusive societies, and to deliver the people-centered vision of the 2030 Agenda.
Targets
16.4, 16.5, 16.6, 10.5, 10.6, 17.10
EVIDENCE AND DATA
Take a strategic approach to strengthening data for the SDG16+ global indicator framework.
Strengthen national statistical capacity and improve reporting mechanisms.
Identify evidence gaps and needs, and develop research agendas that will inform policymaking.
A strategic approach is needed to provide decision makers with evidence and data to support effective implementation.
LEARNING AND EXCHANGE
Intensify cooperation between pathfinder countries, highlighting successes and leadership.
Strengthen universal networks and platforms for learning.
Report progress and communicate success in fostering peaceful, just and inclusive societies.
Use high-profile'grand challenges' to increase ambition and as a focus for learning.
The universality of the 2030 Agenda offers new opportunity for learning and exchange. Platforms must increase the use of evidence in policy making and allow countries to share experiences with each other.
FINANCE
Increase understanding of the costs of inaction and the benefits of action.
Develop a case for investment to implement the catalytic actions identified in this roadmap.
Increase investment in delivering the SDG targets for peaceful, just and inclusive societies.
The SDG16+ targets will not be delivered on current trends. Increased finance is needed to match the ambition of the 2030 Agenda vision.
COMMUNICATION, ADVOCACY AND MOVEMENT BUILDING
Increase political leadership for peace, justice and inclusion
A movement for justice for all
A movement to promote equality and inclusion
A movement for peaceful societies
Effective communications and advocacy will build the multi-stakeholder movement for peaceful, just and inclusive societies.
