Accelerating progress on SDGs in Malaysia

Six big transformations are needed to accelerate the progress of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in Malaysia. Professor Jeffrey Sachs, who is an SDG advocate for the United Nations (UN), suggested governments have 25 to 30-year plans as a pathway to get an idea of where society should be and how to get there in that horizon in meeting the SDG goals. Sachs believes that Agenda 2030, a key mission towards sustainable development, needs to be manageable. Sachs, who was speaking at the “A Conversation with Professor Jeffrey Sachs” event on 12th April, talked about the six big transformations that start with quality education for all, adding that everybody should learn the essence of sustainable development in the world.
