There can be no sustainable development without peace, and no peace without sustainable development.
It is estimated that a record 274 million people in 2022 will need humanitarian assistance. Conflict, climate-fueled disasters, weak governance, and limited access to justice remain a great threat to sustainable development.
In December’s Goal of the Month editorial, we focus on Goal 16: Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions.
Why is it important?
A peaceful and inclusive society is the foundation of sustainable development. There is no long-lasting peace and development without respect for human rights. All of us need to work together to reduce violence, deliver justice, combat corruption, and ensure inclusive participation at all levels.
