The Five Ps
The 17 SDGs are structured around the five pillars of the 2030 Agenda: People, Planet, Prosperity, Peace, and Partnerships. These 5 Ps highlight how the SDGs are an intertwined framework instead of a group of solo goals. The progress on one P must balance and support the progress on another.
People
The SGDs on ending poverty, hunger, allowing individuals to have good health and well-being, provision of
quality education, access to clean water and sanitation, and striving for gender equality surround the broad ambit of people. The Punjab SDGs Unit is committed to providing an enabling environment for improving the lives of people, as a collective and on an individual level. It further strives to synergize the public and private efforts, geared to end poverty and hunger in diverse forms and dimensions, ensuring dignity and equality take precedence for all and in a healthy environment.
Planet
Climate Change is a roadblock to achieving the SDGs and has disproportionate effects on the poor. Without concerted action, it could drive 100 million more people into poverty by 2030. The SDGs set a goal to protect the planet so that it can support the needs of the present and future generations. The Punjab SDGs Unit pursues to accelerate the on-ground efforts and create increased awareness on producing clean and affordable energy, protecting life on both lands and in the sea, taking demonstrable actions to prevent climate change, and learning to produce and consume as responsibly as possible.
Prosperity
Inequality is one of the defining issues of this generation and requires a commensurate focus that to date is still lacking. Ensuring prosperous and fulfilling lives in harmony with nature embodies the kind of prosperity the world must look to strive for in the next ten years. The Punjab SDGs Unit makes conscientious attempts to support the provincial and district governments in aligning their planning and budgetary instruments with SDGs and leverage the private sector initiatives and mobilize their resources for reduced inequality, shared prosperity, and sustainable development.
Peace
Justice underpins the success of the SDGs: from ending poverty and inequality to ensuring no one is left behind. The world is still a long way away from becoming peaceful, but only through consciously working towards this goal can we make any progress in preventing violence and making communities more secure from top to bottom. The Punjab SDGs Unit pursues a holistic approach to foster peaceful, just and inclusive societies. It upholds the vision to provide all segments of society, especially women, minorities, and other vulnerable segments with a conducive environment, where they can have fair, equitable, and inclusive access to the available resources for sustainable development.
Partnerships
Mainstreaming, Acceleration, and Policy Support (MAPS) for SDGs direly need to sensitize all public and private stakeholders to own, implement, and accelerate SDGs in their respective capacities. The Punjab SDGs Support Unit is committed to realizing this need and it strives to create an enabling environment for diverse stakeholders, helping them build partnerships to mobilize resources and identify innovative solutions to accelerate progress on the prioritized SDGs.
