2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the Sustainable Development Goals and the fight against racial discrimination A/HRC/50/60

This report offers a racial justice and equality analysis of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Sustainable Development Goals. It describes how the development framework, including the 2030 Agenda, preserves colonial injustice, perpetuates the domination of powerful nations over peoples and territories that were subject to historical colonial extraction and preserves structural racial discrimination within nations. It discusses the potential of the Agenda to advance racial equality but stresses the need for transformative changes in the international development framework. The report also offers actionable recommendations to align the Sustainable Development Goals with principles of racial justice.
