The Speaker then addressed the importance of the Sustainable Development Goals as he spoke about the how most of today’s global crises are interrelated with the lack of sustainability.
He reiterated that from the very beginning, Hungary has been an active participant in formulating the sustainable development goals, as also the Constitution stipulates Hungary’s obligation to participate in international cooperation on sustainable development.
He then concluded that without a satisfactory system of sustainability institutions, however, reaching the Sustainable Development Goals remains an illusion.
