From Declaration to Delivery: Actioning the Post-2015 Agenda

In September, the world’s leaders will adopt 17 sustainable development goals, committing to meet an integrated, indivisible set of global priorities for sustainable development, by 2030.

From Declaration to Delivery: Actioning the Post-2015 Agenda is based on the outcomes of a series of dialogues with eight countries that have already begun exploring how to turn the promise of a new sustainable development agenda into reality. The roundtables were held in Denmark, Ghana, Mexico – with the participation of Colombia, Guatemala and Peru – Pakistan and Tanzania.

Each roundtable took the proposed SDGs and associated targets as their starting point, showcasing the work of UN member states that have already started to think through the practicalities of implementation.

This report identifies themes or ‘reality checks’ drawn from the roundtables to illustrate the opportunities and challenges of delivering a sustainable development agenda.
