Al-Farabi Kazakh National University's Commitment to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development
Aligned with the global movement towards sustainable development, Al-Farabi Kazakh National University takes a significant stride each year by participating in United Nations initiatives to realize SDG principles.
In an era marred by unprecedented challenges, from the climate crisis to geopolitical tensions, the COVID-19 pandemic, and economic uncertainties, the UNSD report conveys the stark reality of setbacks in the pursuit of the SDGs. These crises have reverberated across health, education, food security, the environment, and peace, imperiling the world's collective endeavor to attain the SDGs by 2030.
This year's report sheds light on the profound impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Its onset triggered an unfortunate surge in extreme poverty, a departure from the progress made in the past generation. Alarming trends, such as growing income inequality and compromised childhood vaccination efforts, mark a sobering reversal of three decades of advancements. Concurrently, the intensifying climate crisis amplifies its toll, manifested through heightened occurrences of heatwaves, droughts, and floods.
The report's for Sustainable Development Goals Report 2023 findings underscore the urgency of immediate action to avert an unsettling future. Without intervention, over 575 million people could be trapped in extreme poverty by 2030, disproportionately affecting those in developing countries. As a stalwart advocate for sustainable development, Al-Farabi Kazakh National University recognizes its role in safeguarding a more equitable and resilient future.
This distinctive report offers a blueprint for change, outlining pivotal domains that necessitate prompt intervention to anchor a sustainable trajectory for both humanity and the planet. Resolute action is imperative, encompassing transformative shifts within global systems to uphold the principles of universal human rights.
On this page, we are providing the reports for Sustainable Development Goals Report 2023, UNDP Kazakhstan Annual Report 2022, and Voluntary National Review of Kazakhstan 2022.
Al-Farabi Kazakh National University stands committed to integrating these insights into its ongoing efforts, driving the university's actions to create lasting positive impacts in alignment with the UN's Sustainable Development Goals. Through collaboration, innovation, and resilience, the university continues to contribute meaningfully to a more sustainable and just world.
