(ZY.4.28) Sustainability Studies [New] If the world radically changes course to more sustainable development, protecting areas that are most critical for biodiversity and ecosystem services, the global annual GDP could grow $11 billion by 2050. The United Nations estimates that achieving its sustainable development goals for issues including poverty, clean water and gender equality by 2030 will require as much as $7 trillion a year, with an annual funding shortfall of $2.5 trillion in developing countries. ASEAN could assist Member States in developing their statistical capacity to collect and analyse urban data and thereby contribute to global efforts to monitor the Sustainable Development Goals. Coordination of sustainable development policies, including the implementation of the National Strategy for Sustainable Development, which aims to make Morocco's economy green and inclusive by 2030. With the global cost of corruption estimated at $2.6 trillion per year, equivalent to 5% of global gross domestic product, the world is deprived of resources that could help fund commitments under the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals. In the long-term, World Energy Outlook 2018 - which included a special focus on electricity - sees variable renewables covering more than 20% of global power demand by 2040 in the central New Policies Scenario, and nearly 40% in the Sustainable Development Scenario. The Strategy for Plastics in a Circular Economy will play an important role in the EU achieving its 2030 Sustainable Development Goals and commitments to the Paris Agreement. Italy will next year become the world's first country to make it compulsory for schoolchildren to study climate change and sustainable development. The Global Chemicals Outlook II finds that the global goal to minimize adverse impacts of chemicals and waste will not be achieved by 2020. If the multiple co-benefits associated with closing the emissions gap are fully realized, the required transition will contribute in an essential way to achieving the United Nations 2030 Agenda with its 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Without intervention, 50 countries will fail to achieve the United Nation's (UN) Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) of zero hunger by 2030. The sustainable development goals will not be universally achieved given the weak global response to climate change. The effectiveness of the IEA Sustainable Development Scenario in limiting global temperature change to 2 degrees Celsius is dependent on global emissions trends through 2100, while IEA's current scenario only projects through 2040. The challenge of state fragility is now being viewed as both a global security threat and the principal obstacle to achieving the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Universal and affordable access to electricity will empower millions of people around the world and their communities to enjoy a better life. The pace of poverty reduction is slowing down and current projections suggest that 6% of the world's population will still be living in extreme poverty in 2030, missing the target of the first Sustainable Development Goal. Antimicrobial resistance is putting the achievement of the UN's sustainable development goals in jeopardy - by 2030, antimicrobial resistance could force up to 24 million people into extreme poverty. If the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG's) are to be met by 2030, Africa will need the best of every form of agriculture including GE crops and crops made with CRISPR technology. Resilience against multiple threats, including climate change, is a key prerequisite for sustainable development, in particular when it comes to the challenge of feeding over 2 billion Africans by 2050. The United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) says achieving the SDGs will cost between US$5 and $7 trillion annually, with an investment gap in developing countries of about US$2.5 trillion. Nepal was expected to achieve 100 percent access to electricity within a few years, well ahead of the target year of 2030 set by Sustainable Development Goal 7. Rapid population growth in poor countries will challenge efforts to meet sustainable development goals such as combating hunger and malnutrition.
