 So I'm Osa Persson, I'm Research Director and Deputy Director at the Stockholm Environment Institute and I have also been contributing as a member of the independent group of scientists to the Global Sustainable Development Report underpinning the SDG Summit this year. So the SDG Summit coming up marks the halfway point in Agenda 2030 and it's an important moment to review progress and commit to new action to really advance on the goals. Unfortunately we are not on track and reports show that we're on track with only 10 or 20% of the goals so it's a big task ahead for world leaders as they gather in New York. Well considering the last few years with major crisis in the world, the pandemic, the Ukraine war, it is a difficult situation and tensions between countries are pretty high. Nevertheless I hope they take this quite unique opportunity now to set us up for a more successful second half of Agenda 2030. A lot of determination will be required but there are definitely things they could bring to the table like SDG financing, showcasing domestic policy and regulation initiatives and also working more with science because there is a plethora of tools and analysis available to governments.
