The project in brief
Background The international environment is characterised by numerous multiple crises. The consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic, the war in Ukraine, the escalation in the Middle East, food insecurity, debt burden and inflation, climate change and the energy crisis are all having a direct impact on the world's population. They particularly affect the most vulnerable, mostly women and children, and result in increasing humanitarian needs.
Accelerated change is accompanied by increased uncertainty: The world is becoming more fragmented, unstable and unpredictable. Whilst the vision to reach the Sustainable Development Goals remains, challenges including the accelerating global food and nutrition crisis, shrinking civic and humanitarian space, the erosion of rule of law, intensifying armed conflicts, more frequent climate-related disasters, international migration and internal displacement, exacerbated demographics and an important gender gap hamper progress in reaching them and pose a main challenge for all actors engaged in Switzerland’s International Cooperation.
Climate change and biodiversity loss are not only environmental issues, but economic, development, security, social, moral and ethical issues. Meanwhile, the impacts of the global nature and climate emergency are already being felt: displacement and deaths from increasingly frequent extreme weather events, increasing food insecurity, depleted soils, a lack of access to fresh water, and an increase in the spread of zoonotic diseases to name just a few. These impacts affect disproportionately the poorest and most marginalised people.
Objectives By 2030, significant progress has been made to stabilise the climate and prevent the most devastating effects of climate change, to restore and protect natural resources and to enhance equality, peace, and healthy l iving for all people.
Results of the organisation's previous engagement Outcome 1: In 2023, eight market, finance and governance actors improved dialogue, planning, decision making and governance for sustainable development, as targeted: In the Philippines, all milestones from the Solid Waste Management Plan were completed with the Donsol Local Government Unit and all 51 districts of Donsol Municipality
