Ensure environmental sustainability (MDG 7)

My Government recognizes the critical role of environmental issues in the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals.

We stress that environmental sustainability is key to meeting all the other Millennium Development Goals.

Environmental sustainability should be integrated in the regional cooperation strategies aimed at achieving the MDGs.

This service module addresses the issue of environmental sustainability in accordance with MDG No. 7.

Unlike the other goals, the target corresponding to MDG 7 (Ensure environmental sustainability) is not established in specific quantitative terms or with particular timelines.

The Goals and their implementation have been and continue to be highlighted in UNEP environmental assessments.

(b) To enhance the contribution of forests to the achievement of the internationally agreed development goals, including the Millennium Development Goals, in particular with respect to poverty eradication and environmental sustainability

The report provides a blueprint for actions required to meet the Millennium Development Goals and recognizes the importance of environmental sustainability as a necessary condition for meeting these goals.

This includes joint projects in Kenya, Rwanda and the United Republic of Tanzania Cooperation with UNDP on the implementation of Millennium Development Goal 7 and other Goals where environmental sustainability could make a significant contribution to achieving the Goals.

One of the major development goals is to ensure environmental sustainability, particularly by integrating the principles of sustainable development into country policies and programmes, so as to reverse the loss of environmental resources.

Environmental protection measures, as laid down in goal 7 of the Millennium Development Goals and the Johannesburg Plan of Implementation, should be taken seriously.

MDG 7 focuses on the environmental aspects of sustainable development and is particularly important for this MYFF goal.

Linking multilateral environmental agreements and implementation of the Millennium Development Goals, including through valuing ecosystem services

The ministers and heads of delegations will review policy issues related to water, sanitation and human settlements in the context of the Millennium Development Goals NOTE TO SECRETARIAT IS THIS A PERMISSIBLE REFERENCE TO THE MDGS, ESPECIALLY WITH RESPECT TO GOAL 7?

Whereas the role of markets is critical, it needs to be seen within the context of broader societal goals of social equity and environmental sustainability.

The ministers had highlighted the failure to operationalize the link between environmental sustainability and the Goals, recommending systematic integration of environmental sustainability considerations into all national poverty reduction strategies, United Nations development assistance frameworks and national development plans.

Nonetheless, States must take environmental considerations into account when assessing what is necessary and proportionate in the pursuit of legitimate military objectives.

Private sector initiatives to meet corporate environmental goals and develop more environment friendly products as part of strategic marketing initiatives are also drivers of change.

Moreover, the need to ensure that multilateral environmental agreements and other objectives such as technology, trade, investment and resources mobilization are mutually supportive has sometimes gone unmet.

Environmental issues

While there is no goal on energy, it is central to meeting the other MDGs, especially those concerning poverty and hunger, universal education, and environmental sustainability.

If those goals are to be achieved in a sustainable manner, recognition that environmental sustainability underpins their achievement must be at the heart of further efforts of the international community.

Human rights, gender equality, sexual and reproductive health and rights, environmental sustainability and education are cross cutting issues contributing to the realization of the Millennium Development Goals.

The targets...

Section II examines the linkages between sustainable forest management and the achievement of the internationally agreed development goals relating to poverty eradication, health, environmental sustainability, consumption and production patterns and energy.

In the forest sector, decentralization should be seen as a means to accomplish the broad objectives of poverty alleviation, sustainable economic development, and protection of local and global environmental values.

We are likely to miss global targets in the areas of infant and maternal mortality, HIV AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria and other infectious diseases and environmental sustainability.
