Policy Study

14/09/2023

Ahead of the UN’s SDG Summit (18-19 September), FEPS together with Earth4All, an international team of economists and scientists, unveil groundbreaking research showing that policymakers can ensure the implementation of SDGs by 2050. Furthermore, their policy study ‘SDGs for all: strategic scenarios’. equips policymakers with practical solutions designed to accelerate SDG implementation and to respond to the planetary emergency. It concludes that policymakers can step up the implementation of the SDGs by 2030 and beyond and achieve wellbeing for all, but only by enacting five ‘extraordinary turnarounds’ that break with current trends.

The policy study responds to the UN Secretary-General’s call for more rigorous strategic analysis and foresight to support policymaking. It brings together analysis from leading scientists, economists and modelers, offering proven ways to implement the SDGs and dramatically improve the course of policymaking at major upcoming global meetings, including the UN SDG Summit, the UNFCCC COP28 and the UN Summit of the Future.

The ‘SDGs for All’ policy study is built around the future scenarios and the 5 extraordinary turnarounds first explored in Earth for All: A Survival Guide for Humanity, published in 2022.
