Localisation of SDGs imperative to achieve 2030 Agenda: India at UN

India TV News  

Stressing on the need for localisation of Sustainable Development Goals to achieve the 2030 SDG agenda, India has said that there is no "one size fits all" approach but countries can certainly share experience and learn from each other. "For the 2030 Agenda to succeed in big countries like India with a population of 1.3 billion, SDG localisation is an imperative," he said on Thursday. "It goes without saying that we need to work together collectively to ensure that all countries, especially vulnerable ones, stay their course on the 2030 SDG Agenda," he said. Tirumurti said that India’s second VNR entitled, “Decade of Action: Taking SDGs from Global to Local”, at the 2020 HLPF, adopted a “whole of-society” approach.
