dimensions. This integration provides the basis for economic models that benefit people
and the environment; for environmental solutions that contribute to progress; for social
approaches that add to economic dynamism and allow for the preservation and
sustainable use of the environmental common; and for reinforcing human rights, equality,
and sustainability. Responding to all goals as a cohesive and integrated whole will be
critical to ensuring the transformations needed at scale.
83. The agenda itself mirrors the broader international human rights framework,
including elements of economic, social, cultural, civil, and political rights, as well as the
right to development. Specific targets are set for disadvantaged groups. Indicators will
need to be broadly disaggregated across all goals and targets.
84. The essential elements are further integrated by the application of the principle
of universality. In addressing them to all countries and all people we take account of
environmental, economic, and social interdependence, while also recognizing the realities
of differentiated national needs and capacities.
85. Finally, the new framework provides a much-needed opportunity to integrate the
broader United Nations agenda, with its inextricably linked and mutually interdependent
peace and security, development, and human rights objectives.
86. All of this will have important implications for the way that all partners pursue
sustainable development, requiring transformations in approaches to leadership, policy
coherence, strategy, and collaboration. It will also have a beneficial unifying effect on the
organization of work within the UN system at the global, regional and country levels.
