The People’s Report
The People's Report on the 2030 Agenda and Sustainable Development Goals – 2019
An Alternate Report for New Zealand (2019)
The People’s Report is an Alternate Report on the SDGs and includes 17 reports contributed to by more than 20 New Zealanders from different organisations. They share a commitment to a more just, equal and sustainable world and have individual or organisational perspectives on a particular goal or target. The reports vary in style and thinking, demonstrating the rich diversity of the sector, and work and focus of the organisations.
The People’s Report also includes newly released data; links to reports and reviews; case studies; interviews; recommendations and high level results from a survey of organisations in June 2019.
The many people who have contributed to the People’s Report in various ways hope that it, and the government’s Voluntary National Review (VNR) report, will provide a basis for moving forward together–in greater partnership to implement a vision and framework that clearly link Te Tiriti o Waitangi, the SDGs and the Living Standards Framework, to create a more just, equal and sustainable future.
