KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 18 — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim yesterday reiterated Malaysia’s commitment to achieving Agenda 2030 for sustainable development as signed with 192 other countries in 2015.
Malaysia’s latest Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) achievements showed a record of 43 per cent compared with the world average of around 17 per cent, the achievement does not carry significant meaning if the principles of justice, courtesy and environmental well-being are not emphasised.
“God willing, the government aspires to strengthen the sustainability aspects under the idea of Madani, centred on balanced development and nuanced by Malaysia’s unique image,” said Anwar in a Facebook post yesterday.
While officiating the SDG 2024 Summit yesterday, Anwar said Malaysia achieved 43 per cent in all 248 latest SDG indicators, far above the world average of 17 per cent.
Anwar said the performance is a clear sign Malaysia has successfully faced the challenges with reforms, but it is not a permanent guarantee.
Agenda 2030 is a global commitment towards more sustainable, resilient and inclusive development with 17 SDGs and 169 targets.
