Highlighting the success of the Indian model of localisation of Sustainable Development Goals, NITI Aayog Vice Chairperson Suman Bery has said that nations must identify models that have produced results as “we do not have the luxury of time." Mr. Bery was addressing a special India side session at the UN High-level Political Forum on Sustainable Development on the ‘Indian model of SDG Localisation: Towards a full implementation of the 2030 Agenda.’ His remarks come as countries around the world were working towards achieving the ambitious UN targets.
“In this Decade of Action, we must identify models which have produced results. We do not have the luxury of time to develop solutions from scratch and perhaps the Indian model of SDG localisation is relevant. The path of attaining SDGs is long and challenging, but exciting and engaging,” Mr. Bery said here on Wednesday.
The event was organised by NITI Aayog, Permanent Mission of India to the UN, United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), India and UN in India.
