Statement by Carlos Lopes UN Under-Secretary-General and Executive Secretary of ECA at the sixth session of the General assembly open working Group on Sustainable Development Goals. We are conscious of the fact that sustainable development seeks to achieve social and economic progress in ways that will not exhaust the earth's natural resources. The recurrent economic and financial crises in both developing and advanced economies undermine all three pillars of sustainable development. The crises is intensifying the pressure for budget consolidation at the national levels, increasing the likelihood of cuts in social services throughout much of the industrialized world. It is true that countries under special circumstances often find their space for making domestic policy choices squeezed. This tension arises from the dilemmas of how countries can keep the manifold benefits of extensive international development engagement free of conditional ties. The African position takes into account the challenges of the MDGs, whilst calling for a structural transformation agenda based on a set of enablers of development (such as infrastructure, peace and security, human rights).
