Without peace, justice & strong institutions, no other development goal can succeed. Bjørg Sandkjær of UN DESA stressed 5 priorities: invest in justice, strengthen accountability, protect civic space, pursue inclusive reforms & integrate SDG 16 across all goals. 📊 go.undp.org/SDG16report2...

Justice delayed is justice denied. When people cannot access justice, their rights are undermined, inequalities deepen, and trust in governance erodes. The #SDG16 Global Report shows where progress is being made — and where urgent action is needed ⚖️👇

When #SDG16 breaks down, displacement follows. More than 123 million people are forcibly displaced as conflict deaths rise. During the #SDG16Report launch, Giovanni Bassu of UNHCR highlighted the Global Compact on Refugees as key to durable and inclusive solutions. 📊 go.undp.org/SDG16report2...
