The seventh anniversary of the 2030 Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals was recently celebrated in a scenario marked by a severe global systemic crisis. The consequences of COVID-19, a strong energy crisis, high inflation and scarcity of raw materials, in addition to the climate emergency, highlight the need to change the pace and model of development. In such a complex international context, sustainability, inclusion and climate action stand as strategic pillars on which to sustain the present and build the future of our society. In this regard, Fernando Riaño, Director for Institutional Relations and Sustainability at ONCE Social Group, recalls: “The 2030 Agenda and the SDG constitute an essential pillar to build a more sustainable and inclusive future, in which persons with disabilities ¾more than 1 billion people around the world, the “largest minority”¾ cannot be left behind. Disability is part of the equation when it comes to achieving Sustainability in its three ESG dimensions”.
Within this framework, Fundación ONCE together with the European Disability Forum and in the framework of Disability Hub Europe, have carried out an update and extension of the report already published in 2020 “The 2030 Agenda, the SDGs and disability“, a document that reminds us that efforts are needed to ensure a sustainable and inclusive society that leaves no one behind.
