“Sweden, my own country is at the forefront of delivering on the 2030 agenda. We are leading the leading contributor of development assistance, climate finance, humanitarian assistance and supporters of the development banks and the UN system. But in order to achieve the SDGs we all need to mobilize more investments towards poverty eradication, gender equality and humanitarian challenges.”

“The reforms and actions are undertaken with special attention paid to the most vulnerable and this allowed us to register major progress, given the COVID-19 and the armed conflicts in my country, this is all important to note. However, halfway towards the agenda 2030, we understand that greater action is needed, that more reform is needed if we are to obtain the SDGs. And funding remains a major challenge.”

“3.3 billion people live in countries that spend more on debt servicing than on either health or education spending. That is why we say this is a development crisis, where the countries are facing impossible choices.”
