The UN Secretary-General, Mr Antonio Guterres, succinctly captured the gravity of the crisis when he noted with concern, during the launch the Special Edition of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Progress Report on 25 April 2023 that just 12% of the SDG targets were on track, progress on 50% was weak and insufficient, and on more than 30% of the SDGs the international community has stalled or gone into reverse. If we are to meet the 2030 SDGs deadline a paradigm shift is necessary and practical solutions are needed. It is also critical that the next five Presidencies of the G20 will have to prioritise accelerating progress on the attainment of SDGs.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-216bb11 elementor-align-right elementor-icon-list--layout-traditional elementor-list-item-link-full_width sc_fly_static elementor-widget elementor-widget-icon-list\" data-id=\"216bb11\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"icon-list.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"elementor-icon-list-items\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"elementor-icon-list-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/g20.org\/g20-south-africa\/g20-presidency\/\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-arrow-circle-right\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M256 8c137 0 248 111 248 248S393 504 256 504 8 393 8 256 119 8 256 8zm-28.9 143.6l75.5 72.4H120c-13.3 0-24 10.7-24 24v16c0 13.3 10.7 24 24 24h182.6l-75.5 72.4c-9.7 9.3-9.9 24.8-.4 34.3l11 10.9c9.4 9.4 24.6 9.4 33.9 0L404.3 273c9.4-9.4 9.4-24.6 0-33.9L271.6 106.3c-9.4-9.4-24.6-9.4-33.9 0l-11 10.9c-9.5 9.6-9.3 25.1.4 34.4z\"><\/path><\/svg>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-text\">More Info on SA's Presidency<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b701449 e-flex e-con-boxed sc_inner_width_none sc_layouts_column_icons_position_left e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"b701449\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cebafaa elementor-widget-divider--view-line sc_fly_static elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"cebafaa\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8d430ba e-flex e-con-boxed sc_inner_width_none sc_layouts_column_icons_position_left e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"8d430ba\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"e-con-gap-no elementor-element elementor-element-86ee3ca e-con-full e-flex sc_inner_width_none sc_layouts_column_icons_position_left e-con e-child\" data-id=\"86ee3ca\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;slideshow&quot;,&quot;background_slideshow_gallery&quot;:[{&quot;id&quot;:8343,&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/g20.org\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2024\\\/11\\\/Screenshot-2024-11-13-at-14.33.35-e1731502471163.png&quot;}],&quot;background_slideshow_slide_duration&quot;:5000,&quot;background_slideshow_slide_transition&quot;:&quot;fade&quot;,&quot;background_slideshow_transition_duration&quot;:500}\">\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-156f843 e-con-full e-flex sc_inner_width_none sc_layouts_column_icons_position_left e-con e-child\" data-id=\"156f843\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-51a50d8 sc_fly_static elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"51a50d8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4><strong>G20 Logo &amp; Theme<\/strong><\/h4><p><strong>Main Element<\/strong><br \/><br \/>The main element of the logo for South Africa\u2019s G20 Presidency represents the King Protea, which holds a special place in the hearts of South Africans, as the national flower of the country.
