2020 marks the beginning of the UN’s Decade of Action, a final push to hit the goals of the 2030 Agenda for sustainable development, and also the 75th anniversary of the Organization.

In an interview with Conor Lennon from UN News, Amina Mohammed, the Deputy Secretary-General, outlined the many reasons to be positive about the impact the Agenda is having on people’s lives, and the momentum that is growing around the world.

Ms. Mohammed accepted, however, that progress towards reaching the Sustainable Development Goals has not been as fast as hoped.
