Context
• Significant convergence among the countries about the products of the incoming Summit and UN Assembly
• Pending issues on the means of implementation (financing and governance)
• The current state of the art is favourable to countries like Brazil, propelling them to relevant positions in the implementation process of the SDGs
The Paradox
• A highly democratic and inclusive process is producing a challenging complex monitoring model
• Countries very comfortable with the political results are not necessarily equipped for the technical implementation
• However, that is not true for all countries in this regard
SDGs by the numbers
• 17 goals
• 169 targets
• 1063 indicators proposals
• 209 “suggested indicators”
• 101 Tier 1 indicators

SDG IMPLEMENTATION RISKS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Risks on SDGs implementation
• Lack of policy coherence between SDGs and national development pathway
• SDGs not embedded in a robust institutional framework
• Lack of adequate resource mobilization
• Lack of interest by parliament in general and sub-national governments. Lack of political will and ownership
Risks on SDGs implementation
• Lack of coordination mechanisms (national and sub-national)
• Poor engagement of civil society and media
• Report inconsistencies on environmental dimension. Lack of consistent data
• Lack of coordination among donors. Absence of accountability mechanisms.
Lessons from Brazil
• Strong national intergovernmental coordination
– Less participation of the sub-national levels
• Engagement of the civil society
–Need to go beyond São Paulo, Rio and Brasilia.
Lessons from Brazil
• Leadership of the statistical bureau on the technical debate
– Academia and sub-national institutions needs stronger mobilization
• Engagement of the areas, such as: sustainable development, environment, health (Fiocruz)
– Some relevant areas lack of experience and resources for SDG implementation
Lessons from Brazil
• Effective MDGs dissemination over 200 municipalities
– Other municipalities demand stronger engagement
• Administrative, demographic and economic data aggregated at municipal level (Ex: Human Development Atlas)
– Considerable challenge for environmental data
Getting back to the initial question, the answer is yes.
The 2030 agenda is a decisive step. But, we will need more. And that
will demand patience, determination and a lot of creativity
to forge the sustainable future.
