As we head into the second half on our journey towards the Global Goals, there is hope. We will need to focus on key transitions that address climate change, biodiversity and pollution, energy access and affordability, food systems, jobs and social protection, education, and digital connectivity. And the world needs to massively scale up long-term development finance. In this second half, it’s all hands on deck so we can win this – for people and planet.
