UN Proposes Extending Sustainable Development Goals to 2050
The new framework aims to address unmet targets by incorporating emerging technologies and setting interim milestones.
Overview
- Current SDGs are unlikely to be met by the 2030 deadline due to economic and geopolitical challenges.
- The updated goals will include interim targets for 2030 and 2040, with final targets set for 2050.
- Artificial intelligence and other emerging technologies will be integrated into the new framework.
- Enhanced global cooperation and financial reforms are essential for achieving these extended goals.
- The proposal will be discussed at the UN Summit of the Future in September 2024.
