Select Committee Inquiry
3 Dec 2018 UK progress on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) inquiry International Development Committee (Select) Not accepting submissions The International Development Committee (IDC) identifies serious failings in the preparation and presentation of UK’s first Voluntary National Review of progress towards the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. The UK has taken a long time to get around to producing a VNR (some countries have produced two since 2015) and so expectations were naturally that much higher, and the disappointment that much greater. The Government had 19 months between committing to a VNR and producing it. Despite this, the timeline was squeezed and most of the work – and virtually all of the engagement activity – was left to the last few months, preventing stakeholders from meaningfully engaging in, or influencing, the final report. Government response: UK's progress on the Sustainable Development Goals: The Voluntary National Review Report: UK's progress on the Sustainable Development Goals: The Voluntary National Review Letter, 9 January 2019, from the Minister of State for International Development, concerning the Voluntary National Review on the Sustainable Development Goals
