Title
UNDG - Thematic Paper on MDG 7:
Environmental Sustainability
Abstract
This report analyzes those interventions and
strategies that have been successful in facilitating
progress toward achieving MDG 7 in the hope
that such strategies can guide and focus future efforts.
However, the overall assessment is that the
achievement of MDG 7 by 2015 is currently off track.
The report also analyses the obstacles encountered in
achieving many of the targets and presents a scenario
of what might happen if we do not adjust the course.
While progress in some of the indicators has been
significant, others are critically lagging behind.
Considerable efforts will be needed to step-up the
pace to achieve MDG 7 objectives by 2015. Nothing
short of a paradigm shift will be needed: one that
entails lower carbon intensity development paths;
greener growth; improved waste management at all
levels; and, more sustainable consumption and
production patterns. This report highlights case studies
and factors underpinning success to provide insights
and examples of how the paradigm shift can be
brought about and success factors for indicators that
are on track that could be replicated for the others.
