First Global Parliamentary Meeting on Achieving the SDGs
By videoconference
Canadian Group of the Inter-Parliamentary Union (UIPU)
From September 28 to 30, 2021, the Hon. Marilou McPhedran and the Hon. Kim Pate, Senators and members of the Canadian Group of the Inter-Parliamentary Union (UIPU), attended the First Global Parliamentary Meeting on Achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). During this event jointly organized by the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) and the Indonesian House of Representatives, participants had the opportunity to discuss the role of parliamentarians in ensuring the realization of the SDGs by 2030. Several issues were addressed, including climate change, a fair and inclusive recovery to the COVID-19 pandemic, a fair and equal distribution of COVID-19 vaccines globally, international cooperation, the needs of vulnerable populations, global inequalities, and universal health coverage.
Senator McPhedran spoke about how the COVID-19 pandemic has reduced our chances of achieving the SDGs on schedule. She explained that missing these targets will cost us more over the long-term; as such, she argued, the world must invest in sustainable development today. She noted that the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development is warning that financing for sustainable development is at risk of collapsing. Senator McPhedran highlighted that Canada is pursuing innovation in social finance by mobilizing private capital for the public good to enhance its progress on the SDGs.
