United Collaboration for a Sustainable Future
The Ministry of Interior has joined forces with other stakeholders to promote the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) with the objective of achieving all 17 goals by 2030. Adopted by 193 United Nations (UN) member countries since 2015, the SDGs represent a comprehensive framework for sustainable development and growth.
Five Dimensions of the SDGs
The SDGs are divided into five dimensions, which include:
- Environment (Planet)
- Economy (Prosperity)
- Peace and Institutions (Peace)
- Society (People)
- Development Partnership (Partnership)
These dimensions encompass the core components for achieving economic growth while ensuring environmental conservation and social inclusivity.
Thailand’s Commitment to Sustainable Development
The Ministry of Interior, in collaboration with the UN, has committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and promoting sustainable development across all 76 provinces of Thailand. This initiative involves cooperation with various UN organizations and relevant networks to work towards achieving the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.
Provincial governors are at the forefront of this drive, leading the charge under the principle of “76 Provinces, 76 Commitments for Sustainable Development.” The aim is to create a Thailand that remains a responsible global citizen, providing a positive environment for its people and future generations.
Challenges in Achieving the SDGs by 2030
Despite reaching the halfway point and having 7 years remaining to meet the SDGs deadline, recent reports show that only 12% of the goals are on track for completion by 2030. To address this challenge, the UN has scheduled the SDG Summit in September, which will take place at its headquarters in New York City.
The Final Stretch to Achieve Global SDGs
As we follow the progress of the UN and its member countries over the next 7 years, it is crucial to stay committed to reaching the global SDGs on time. This collective effort will ensure our world evolves in a sustainable and inclusive manner, benefiting both current and future generations.
