Canada launched a program called the Moving Forward Together – Canada’s 2030 Agenda National Strategy, in support of the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the U.N’s agenda aim to end poverty, protect the planet and promote a peaceful and prosperous life for its people. The SDGs require closer cooperation between governments, civil society, and the private sector.
The Canadian government announced a sum of around 11.3 million dollars in funding to 32 organizations that will work to achieve these goals.
The 2030 Agenda applies to all nations in the world and is aimed at eradicating poverty and creating an equal society or ‘leave no one behind.’
Canada’s determination to achieve the SDGs in the Canadian context is reflected in its Towards Canada’s 2030 Agenda National Strategy.
In order to drive the 2030 Agenda forward, Canada is involving a variety of multilateral organizations, collectives, and business entities. Such attempts acknowledge the need to work together to achieve the SDGs.
With Canada’s commitment to achieve the SDGs of the U.N’s agenda for sustainable development, it is good news for immigrants staying in Canada and those who aspire to move here. It will mean a better quality of life, better employment opportunities and a good lifestyle.
