Of the 193 member countries of the UN (United Nations) that have committed themselves to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the 2030 Agenda, Peru ranks 64th in the compliance ranking prepared by Bertelsmann Stiftung and the Sustainable Development Solutions Network.
“Close behind are countries like Bolivia, Kazakhstan and Suriname”, explained also El Comercio, adding that the most developed economies have committed to allocate between 0.15% and 0.20% of their GDP (Gross Domestic Product) for the design of programs of sustainability to be applied in the regions that need them, for example.
In Peru’s case, this type of initiatives is also replicated at the level of other international agreements.
“For example, for almost 10 years, Peru aims to be officially a member of the OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development), entity of which it received $244 million US dollars in 2016 (and similar amounts for several years) specifically to strengthen its economy and promote social welfare”, you can read in the media.
