Australia’s progress on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is facing critical challenges, as highlighted in a recent segment on The Business featuring United Nations Global Compact’s (UNGC) Assistant-Secretary General and CEO, Sanda Ojiambo, and UNGC Australia’s Executive Director, Kate Dundas.
The discussion centred on why Australia is struggling to keep pace with global SDG efforts and what’s required to get back on track.
Ojiambo and Dundas underscored key barriers to SDG progress in Australia, such as policy gaps, limited public and private sector collaboration, and inconsistent support for climate and social initiatives. They emphasized the urgent need for businesses, government, and civil society to work together in advancing these goals and reaffirmed that Australia’s role in the SDG framework is essential to achieving global objectives by 2030.
