Opinion of governments
17 goals are often criticized as too unwieldy to implement or sell to the public
the underlying reason for some countries preferring a narrower brief is to get rid of some of the more uncomfortable goals
it is more important to address wider scope of problems than fewer with a stronger force
Funding of the goals
$66bn a year to eradicate extreme poverty
$7tn for improving infrastructure globally
tax reforms, prevent illegal financial flows and corruption are very important for achieving these goals
public finance and aid are vital to support the implementation of the SDGs
When will the new rules be implemented?
2030 deadline
since January 2016
