Remittances helps families to achieve their own Sustainable Development Goals.

By 2030, it is projected that over US$ 5 trillion will be sent home by migrants to low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), with much of this money going directly to rural areas where 80 per cent of the world’s poor live, face food shortages, and the impacts of climate change.

This money, sent by migrants and diaspora communities, directly supports millions of families to achieve their own Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). They contribute directly to poverty alleviation, education, healthcare, small business development, gender equality, and rural economic growth.

Alleviating Food Hunger and Reducing Food Waste with Innovation.

“Food waste is this massive and very overwhelming challenge, but itʼs actually something that every single one of us can start to address in our own homes,” Shukla says, noting how shocked she was when she first learned how much of the worldʼs food supply spoils on a daily basis.

“The worldʼs farmers actually grow enough food to feed everyone on the planet, but over 800 million people still go hungry every single day.” While the food waste challenge is daunting, she also sees it as an opportunity to prove how small innovations can make a big difference. Her journey started early and is a story of simple beginnings and empowerment. When visiting her grandmother in India as a 12-year-old, Shukla drank water believed to be contaminated, but thanks to her grandmotherʼs homemade remedy, she didnʼt get sick. She was intrigued and began studying her grandmotherʼs remedy, and was able to figure out why it worked and how to replicate and advance its effects. She now uses this knowledge to prevent food spoilage and relieve hunger around the world. Shukla holds four US patents and an Index Design to Improve Life award, a leading international prize for design. Her product is used by farmers and families across the globe, and Freshglow has also partnered with retailers such as Whole Foods and Walmart.

Tourism and Rural Development: A Policy Perspective.

Tourism has high potential to stimulate economic growth and social change in rural areas because it contributes to local economies, support other products value chains, distributes benefits across both seasonal and geographic grounds, and promotes the conservation of cultural and natural heritage. Through the UNWTO Tourism for Rural Development Programme, the Organization seeks to enhance these and other opportunities that tourism can bring to rural areas. To devise adequate actions and develop impactful initiatives, it is essential to have solid knowledge and data to help support and monitor the evolution of this important agenda.

Financing social protection and care systems for the fulfilment of human rights, gender equality and poverty reduction (CSW68 Side Event).

UN Women is convening a high-level panel of diverse leaders for this CSW68 side event to explore how financing social protection and care systems can realize human rights, promote gender equality, and eradicate poverty amidst multiple crises. 

Social protection and care systems are recognized as crucial tools to combat poverty (SDG1), ensure universal health coverage (SDG 3), and promote human rights and gender equality (SDG 5). However, cascading crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic, environmental emergencies, and conflicts have reversed progress on poverty eradication and gender equality, leaving 1 in 10 women in extreme poverty and triggering a cost-of-living crisis amid a looming debt distress. These shocks are intensified by underlying structural crises in jobs, livelihoods, and care. If current trends continue, by 2030, an estimated 8% of the world's female population – 342.4 million women and girls – will still be living on less than $2.15 a day. Against this backdrop, UN Women's corporate side event will explore how social protection and care systems can advance human rights, gender equality, and poverty eradication. As the world prepares for the 30th anniversary of the Beijing Declaration, the event aims to accelerate progress in expanding social protection, strengthening resilience, and integrating social protection with employment and livelihoods. Additionally, this event seeks to bridge thematic linkages between the priority theme of CSW68 'Accelerating the achievement of gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls by addressing poverty and strengthening institutions and financing' with a gender perspective and the review theme on 'Social protection systems, access to public services and sustainable infrastructure for gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls.'

Opening plenary (SDG Action Weekend, Mobilization Day).

As the opening to SDG Action Weekend, the opening plenary of the Saturday proceedings will emphasize the urgency of this moment. Halfway to the 2030 Deadline, we are not halfway there –many goals remain off-track and global economic, geopolitical, and environmental headwinds threaten progress in other areas.

The 2030 Agenda is a promise, not a guarantee, and humanity is in the hotseat. In the face of these challenges, participants will be reminded by speakers that transformation, at scale, is possible. We have the right tools and capabilities but now we need everyone, individually and collectively, to channel these resources more efficiently to deliver on the SDGs. This session will feature a keynote speech from a former Head of State, providing a sober reality check of the moment and emphasizing the possibility for us to achieve our promise. To close, an empowering performance from Yemi Aladewill set an uplifting tone as stakeholders head into the programming of SDG Mobilization Day.

About Ageing populations.

Declining mortality and fertility rates have resulted in rapid ageing with World Population Prospects indicating that by 2030 nearly 12 per cent of the world population will be 65 years of age or older. By 2050 an average longevity globally is to reach around 77.2 years of age. As population grows older, dependency rations increase adding pressures on social security and public health systems. With longer life spans come higher risks of non-communicable diseases and diminished physical capacity leading to higher care needs. The demand for long-term care is rapidly increasing in many countries with care models relying on families increasingly insufficient.

Meeting of the SDG target 1.3 on old age pensions is not only crucial for older persons but for family well-being overall, especially in the context of extreme poverty and household vulnerability with old age pensions helping to strengthen household’s capacity to care for older persons. Questions of intergenerational equity in an ageing world need more attention in preparation for the Sustainable Development Goals Summit and the Summit for the Future.

Strengthening of intergenerational solidarity is key if we are to tackle the challenge of ageing effectively. With rapid demographic changes responsive policies are needed to safeguard the well-being of families and all its members. While the world is shifting towards older populations, an irreversible trend, collective actions and policymaking can shape its path and consequences to ensure that no family and no-individual are left behind.

Learn how countries are supporting the SDG Agenda through rural tourism - Rural tourism and the SDGs.

Among 79 countries responding to the first survey of UNWTO member states on tourism and rural development, conducted in 2023, five SDGs emerged as the most popular when planning for or implementing rural tourism activities: SDG 8 ‘Decent work and economic growth’ is the most significant SDG for rural tourism, followed by SDG 1 ‘No poverty’, SDG 11 ‘Sustainable cities and communities’; SDG 5 ‘Gender equality’ and SDG 12 Responsible production and consumption.

At a policy level, tourism can serve as a powerful driver for achieving SDGs in rural areas.
