Mexico – 2018 – IIIMs. Meigan Díaz CoronaUN Youth Delegate ProgrammeOriginal: UN Doc. A/C.2/73/SR.3, 8 October 2018, p. 13Youth Delegate Search: https://youthdelegatesearch.org/mexico-2018-2/95. Ms. Díaz Corona (Mexico), speaking as a youth delegate, said that theparticipation of youth and women was imperative to ensure the mainstreaming of the2030 Agenda. Inclusive economic growth was fundamental in that context, as werestrengthened public policies to promote the transformative potential of all, includingyouth, women, migrants, indigenous peoples and other marginalized populations.96. Mexico was committed to the implementation of the 2030 Agenda. As such, ithad recently amended its Planning Act to include the three pillars of sustainabledevelopment and the principles of equity, inclusion and non-discrimination innational planning. A national council bringing together the three branches of nationalGovernment, local governments, the private sector, civil society and academiahad been established to accelerate the implementation of the 2030 Agenda. Amultidimensional approach to poverty should be taken, maintaining the integratedand indivisible nature of the Agenda. In that regard, the organization of the high-levelpolitical forum on sustainable development should be re-examined, since it currentlyfocused on a subset of the Sustainable Development Goals at each session, ratherthan on the linkages among them.97. During the current session, the Committee should focus on four key topics. Thefirst was rapid technological change, since the promotion of technological innovationwas key to the implementation of the 2030 Agenda. Efforts within the United Nationsshould be coordinated in that regard. Second, all parties would benefit from auniversal, rules-based, open, non-discriminatory and equitable multilateral tradingsystem. Third, climate change was of particular importance. States had a sharedresponsibility and a moral obligation to fulfil the Paris Agreement. During the twenty-fourth session of the Conference of theParties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, guidelinesapplicable to all parties to the Agreement must be set forth and more ambitiousnationally determined contributions must be established. Finally, the reform ofthe United Nations development system was necessary to adapt the institutionalframework to the 2030 Agenda. Based on the Secretary-General’s strategy forfinancing the 2030 Agenda, the Secretariat should now work to ensure that thesystem was operational in 2019.98. The work of the Committee must be reinvigorated. To achieve that, divisionsbetween developed and developing countries must be overcome. Resolutionson some items should be considered only every two or three years, since the- 1 -discussion of certain topics and the adoption of certain draft resolutions had becomeanachronistic and did not focus on the implementation of the 2030 Agenda. Evenworse, in some cases the Committee was duplicating the work of the Economic andSocial Council, its subsidiary bodies and the high-level political forum for sustainabledevelopment. Only by working effectively together would it be possible to achieve theSustainable Development Goals of the 2030 Agenda. Eleven years remained andthe clock was ticking.- 2 -
