A planetary emergency and the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic have depleted the world’s natural and human resources and changed the landscape of development. Up to 1 billion people could be living in extreme poverty by 2030 unless the world seizes this opportunity for a decisive push towards the Sustainable Development Goals. UNDP works with countries to expand people’s choices for a fairer, sustainable future, to build the world envisioned by the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development with planet and people in balance. The challenge of the next four years is to accelerate and scale up development results significantly, bringing the Goals back within reach. Towards that end, UNDP will support change in three directions: • Structural transformation, particularly green, inclusive and digital transitions; • Leaving no one behind, a rights-based approach centred on human agency and human development; • Building resilience to respond to systemic uncertainty and risk. These are huge, whole-of-society puzzles that require collective efforts and integrated approaches. UNDP offers a unique network of global reach and local presence, sectoral expertise and trusted partnerships to help solve these puzzles. In the next four years, UNDP will work with countries to expand human capabilities through which 100 million people can escape multidimensional poverty; support access to clean energy for 500 million people; support 800 million people to participate in elections, many for the first time; and promote the investment of over $1 trillion of public expenditure and private capital in the Sustainable Development Goals.
