UN Resident Coordinator: Azerbaijan continues its journey of accelerated progress

Since the inception, there has been a strong commitment from Azerbaijan towards the 2030 (Sustainable Development Goals - SDGs) Agenda, Vladanka Andreeva, UN Resident Coordinator in Azerbaijan, said at the 2nd International Conference on “Mine Action – the Path to Reaching SDGs,” Report informs.

“Over the past three years, the world has faced numerous crises dealing a significant blow to efforts in reaching the Sustainable Development Goals.

The United Nations Secretary-General recently emphasized the urgent need for increased commitment, solidarity, and transformative action to prevent us from falling short of the headline targets outlined in the 2030 Agenda, which aims to eradicate poverty, reduce inequality, and protect our environment.
