In 2018, Member States agreed to a vision for a stronger development coordination function to respond to the paradigm shift ushered in by the 2030 Agenda. Three years later, the implementation of that vision for a reinvigorated Resident Coordinator (RC) system, alongside a new generation of UN Country Teams (UNCTs), is proving its value. Under stronger and more impartial leadership at all levels, the UN development system (UNDS) approached the COVID-19 crisis in emergency mode with a commitment to recovering better and delivering the SDGs during this Decade of Action.

Based on the Foundational Primer on the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development prepared by the United Nations, this summary booklet presents ideas to inspire the work of all parts of governments and societies in the quest for inclusive and sustainable development.
