UN Sustainable Development SummitNew York, 27 September 2015

Adoption of “Transforming our World: The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development”

“…may I reaffirm Malaysia’s commitment to support and implement the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.”

“Malaysia is now about to embark onits next five-year development plan - the Eleventh Malaysia Plan, from 2016 to 2020.In many aspects, the plan mirrors the multi-dimensional nature of the SDG, and has been formulated with the people at the centre of all development efforts.”

“Malaysia is absolutely

committed to the Post 2015

agenda - the Sustainable

Development Goals and our

aspirations to transform the

world by 2030.”

Malaysia has made a commitment to the

2030 Agenda

OVERVIEW

• As part of its follow-up and review mechanisms, the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development encourages member states to "conduct regular and inclusive reviews of progress at the national and sub-national levels, which are country-led and country-driven" (paragraph 79).

5

• These national reviews are expected to serve as a basis for the regular reviews by the high-level political forum (HLPF), meeting under the auspices of ECOSOC. As stipulated in paragraph 84 of the 2030 Agenda, regular reviews by the HLPF are to be voluntary, state-led, undertaken by both developed and developing countries, and involve multiple stakeholders.

• The voluntary national reviews (VNRs) aim to facilitate the sharing of experiences, including successes, challenges and lessons learned, with a view to accelerating the implementation of the 2030 Agenda.

• The VNRs also seek to strengthen policies and institutions of governments and to mobilize multi-stakeholder support and partnerships for the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals.

CONCLUSION

CONCLUSION

17

• Malaysia is committed to implement the SDG

• 11MP has laid the foundation for implementation of SDGs– SDGs will provide the platform for all future 5-year plans until 2030

• An institutional and governance framework involving all stakeholders is crucial in planning, monitoring and reporting the SDGs

• Partnership among stakeholders is important to ensure successful implementation of SDGs – Government, private sector, NGOs and civil society organisations, academia, research institutions, multinational and regional international agencies

• Need to prioritise and focus on SDGs directly aligned to our national development goals

Malaysia can and should be ambitious with the goals and targets for the SDGs. We have demonstrated that we can set and achieve “higher targets” through sustained and systematic effort. Malaysia has in place the implementing mechanism for the SDGs with sustainable development initiative aligned with the 11MP, the implementation will be a relatively smooth process. The National SDG Roadmap sets out the priorities and plan of action for implementation.
