Background
UNDP promotes sustainable development to help build resilient nations and to empower people to build better lives. As the UN's development network, UNDP has drawn on world-wide experience for over three decades to assist China both in developing solutions to its own ongoing development challenges, and in its south-south cooperation and engagement in global development. Domestically, our work focuses on Poverty Reduction, Good Governance, Energy & Environment, and Disaster Management. In UNDP’s Country Programme Document 2016-2020, UNDP positions itself as a policy advisor to support China’s reform. At the United Nations Sustainable Development Summit on 25 September 2015, world leaders adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which includes a set of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to end poverty, fight inequality and injustice, and tackle climate change. The new SDGs, and the broader sustainability agenda, address the root causes of poverty and the universal need for development that works for all people. China has been taking active actions to implement the SDGs, and has issued its National Plan on Implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, and also the “Development Plan of China’s Innovation Demonstration Zones for the Implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development”, which are the most concrete actions on localizing the SDGs so far. UNDP has been working closely with the Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST) and the Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) to implement these initiatives together, serving as the SDGs expert and development partner to central and local governments, help identify local development bottlenecks, pilot sustainable solutions, work with public and private sector partners, to build high quality SDGs implementation pilot zones, summarize experiences and successful models, and share within China and globally |
