Institute of economics of the academy of sciences of belarus, candidate of economic sciences, associate professor. Dear guests, good evening. Good evening. So, what are the Sustainable Development goals . Goals, what are they and what does the United Nations have to do with it . The Un General Assembly adopted the 2030 agenda, as it is called today, the agenda for goals Sustainable Development. What are the goals . These are 17 goals of 169 tasks, they cover all spheres of life of both humans and the state, that is, from the income of the population to the environment and the conservation of endangered animal species. Which we have on the territory of the republic of belarus, 252 global indicators that must be tracked, that is, today, Sustainable Development goals are those areas that are important today for the republic of belarus, which underlie all Program Documents adopted in republic of belarus. Yes. Well, what are these goals . Lets list, yes, we asked the director to display on the screen, yes, this is liquidation. You, do we really have poverty in belarus . So, i would like to comment that , for example, belstat is the coordinator, it seems, of course, like Valery Ivanovich, but in this case we are the coordinator for monitoring the implementation of Sustainable Development goals, we have selected indicators, these are 267 indicators, of which 172 indicators correspond to the global level, other indicators directly national characteristics. Republic of belarus, for example, yeah, today we made an assessment of the progress in implementing the Sustainable Development goals, here is the first goal eradication of poverty , we have achieved very Good Progress on it, this is more than 95 . In fact , the indicators we have today indicate that we are moving in the right direction. Moreover, we have fulfilled a number of indicators that exist in the International Community long ago unconditionally. And today the level of poverty, which is at today was in 2022 3. 9 is the minimum in the history of observations, for example, the next goal, goal number two, uh, the elimination of hunger, again we can say that today the state is making maximum efforts to ensure Food Security, it really is today ensured, and accordingly on the Sustainable Development of agriculture, that is. The last seminar with the participation of the head of state, where clear tasks were set on how to develop livestock farming, and we can go towards each goal, this is healthcare, this is education, this is the rational use of land, water resources, forest management, conservation of wildlife, and we are reaching the seventeenth goal, where we will talk about the panel of macroeconomic indicators, that is, this is also gdp, this is industrial development. Yes, this is foreign direct investment, because our main motto for the 2030 agenda is to leave no one behind, that is, not to leave behind all vulnerable segments of the population, these include people with many children, these include people with disabilities, these include pensioners, that is Sustainable Development goals the indicators have been selected, they precisely characterize the movement and the states care for these people , but by carefully studying the list of these. Sustainable development goals, these 169 objectives, one can come to the conclusion that they are quite noble, there is nothing bad about them, they are aimed at strengthening each state of belarus in particular, and are in tune, i would say , with the essence of our social policy, within which there is a person, social justice, everything for our people, to provide them with every opportunity for development, and you noted that according to many indicators, many goals that are relevant for other countries, we have almost completely achieved them. Valery ivanovich, but we know that at the end of september, you and your colleagues took part in a specialized summit, the summit on Sustainable Development goals, which was held in new york on the basis of the General Assembly of the United Nations. Tell me, what issues were resolved there, what are your impressions of this event and what was discussed on the sidelines . Dmitrytolyevich, well, the summit is being held during the half term, here is designated by the General Assembly to achieve the goals of Sustainable Development, that is, we have passed half the way, but during this time, progress has been ensured only on 15 of the goals, in some areas, in the world, in the world, in some areas, on the contrary, there is regression, in including in such sensitive areas. Nothing and hunger. In this regard , the secretary general initiated such a summit in order to obtain guarantees from leaders. State, it was a fairly representative summit, the second, uh, well, lets say, with a coordinated take on additional obligations to support the goals of Sustainable Development in global terms, that is, the decisions that were made there, and the political declaration of the summit, they aim at transforming the Global Financial system, in order to reduce inequality between the global south and the global north, that is. They even stated the need to form a new brattenwood system, to obtain guarantees for increasing donor assistance to developing countries and countries with low levels of development, well, and other issues that affect most of the goals, as for belarus, of course, the format of the summit that was held did not allow us to present in detail our successes. Country, we only limited ourselves to the most sensitive moments, in particular, we talked about the progress that has been achieved in belarus, yes, we talked about the fact that almost 80 of the goals that we set for ourselves have been fulfilled, then in general, we are probably an exemplary state, and if it werent for some nuances, like victor the day before. This was discussed, then i think that we should be country number one, or at least in the top five, but we will still reach progress, we will still have to achieve belarus for Sustainable Development, we will have question, valerie ivanovich, what is being discussed on the sidelines, we have information that the belarusian side has declared its protest, so you personally informed individual officials of the United Nations about the fact that undesirable elements, i would say, persons who are involved. Involved in extremist terrorist activities took place on the site of the Un General Assembly, how true is this . Yes, absolutely right, dmitry avitolyevich, well, firstly , i would say that we managed to speak at one, at the prestigious first round table, and the two issues that we focused on , which for us constitute such a problematic for us, they are problematic, are problematic for the whole world, at least 20 to. Attention to these things, this is the use of unilateral coercive measures that we are faced with are hindering, and the head of state emphasized the importance of the deterrent factor of this circumstance, yes, absolutely right, the second question is , of course, ensuring peace, and if, well, the goals of Sustainable Development are inseparable in their unity, if we carefully look at lets look at them, then we will find the sixteenth target just. Mir Valery Ivanovich, extremists at the meeting, that means, yes, that means, we noted that to our surprise, the individual people who were convicted by our court, well, our fugitives, yes , yes, according to signs extremism, and terrorist activities , other illegal activities, were present at the meeting, and were accredited to the un, therefore. Of course, we used the meetings that were held by our delegation, there were a number of them, and we expressed our dissatisfaction, i would even say protest, regarding the use of the un platform for, well, to popularize these phenomena, no, well, the question arises, you know, to what extent i know that official representatives of countries are accredited at such events, yes, absolutely, at which on the basis there may be extremists there , a big question, i think that the secretariat of the United Nations needs to look into it and pay close attention . Absolutely right, uh, well, different assessments are given on this matter, including comments we heard that these are national delegations, people say, they have the right of any representatives, but the head of state has repeatedly said that the un should speak to a certain extent, a neutral and independent structure, a role that should be increased, therefore the secretary of the un should have his own opinion on this issue, but accredit people who, well, its unacceptable , who support extremist activities, but this is unacceptable, who are condemned, because the questions that we raised at the quarry meetings concerned precisely the situation for example at the border. Among other things, we were accused of creating such a migration crisis, but let me say, for 2 years, for many years , belarus spent a lot of money in order to ensure order on the border, ensure access control, did this wonderful, but this was not in demand by our neighbors, you know, to appreciate what you have, dmitry vetelievich, International Treaties are being violated, there is a direct violation, we stated this, this creates a certain problem for us. The world is heading towards disaster, moreover, we stated that ours and some neighboring states today openly support the creation, formation of a terrorist orientation, financing and their special training, this cannot but worry us, therefore the relevant structures the un, which specializes in assessing such trends, was informed on our behalf with a request to Pay Attention and take part in the investigation of such incidents and i want to say that we have reached an understanding, we have agreements to expand cooperation, and i hope that this will somewhat reduce tension on our border perimeter, but since you recalled the position of the head of state, it should be noted that our president actively supports the achievement of Sustainable Development goals, at the same time, the head of state emphasizes that the Sustainable Development of any country is impossible without peace and security , this thesis, understandable to every belarusian, is in fact not shared by all participants in international relations, what hinders global Sustainable Development and what belarus calls on the World Community for, in our next story, please , the new agenda of the 17 un Sustainable Development goals was announced at the 2015 summit in new york, then the head of the belarusian state presented the position belarus on perspective. Our president made a clear emphasis Sustainable Development of any country is impossible without peace and security. Even then , the head of state called on the countries for dialogue. Quote if you do not stop the bloodshed, the fratricidal massacre in europe and allow the escalation of the conflict, the entire civilized world will be hot. These words turned out to be prophetic; numerous crises in recent years have dealt a serious blow to efforts aimed at fulfilling the goals. Now to alexander. Seek advice and help. Without a sharp increase in obligations, solidarity and transformative action will miss the core goals of the 2030 agenda to end poverty, reduce inequalities, protect the environment, and count on your support to deliver the breakthroughs our world desperately needs. In response to the letter from the head of the un, our president indicates specific areas of action for the organization, which. Unilateral coercive measures or sanctions pose a serious challenge to the common cause of achieving Sustainable Development goals. These voluntaristic and contradictory according to international law, actions limited by their own interests and prejudices of a group of western states directly destroy progress in achieving the sdgs. Poverty and hunger, if sanctions undermine global Food Security, consequently increasing the scale of poverty and hunger to entire regions and even continents. Sanctions have become weapons, they are capable of killing. World Sustainable Development is an inseparable concept; from year to year belarus actively calls on all states for a comprehensive dialogue on security in order to form the foundations of building a new, fair one, each state is a brick in the construction of a Global Sustainable building called world order; everyone must begin its construction with themselves, and belarus has become a bright, clear example. Peoples do not understand how the ideology of a Global International project of Sustainable Development can be compatible with such achievements of our time as unprecedented famine, epidemics, moral degradation, rampant abnormal values; this has never happened in world history. It is difficult to call such a development civilizational, as well as the fact that the world spends trillions of dollars on killing people and ruining states, and not on creation. At the center of the decisions we make is the desire to preserve peace, create for the benefit of the future of belarus, and social justice. These are our democratic values, true values, i will say more, this is the basis of our national idea, which the current time has clearly defined. Belarus confidently continues largescale work in achieving Sustainable Development goals. Behind all the objectives and indicators is the most important thing the result, and its main beneficiary was still the man and the citizen. A person and a citizen, what we talked about, inna viktorovna. But dear experts, what if we talk about the specific success of belarus in achieving Sustainable Development goals . Here we have it. What are we proud of and how do the International Community and our International Partners evaluate our achievements . Naturally, we have a lot to be proud of, this is indeed the case, because as Valery Ivanovich has already said, we assessed the implementation of the Sustainable Development goals and achieving them, about 80 of indicators indicate progress in the movement, and that there are goals that are almost one hundred percent , this is still the same first goal, this is poverty, the fifth goal is gender, equality, of course, and today we are proud of that today we have equal rights for men and women, access to all other leadership positions, and you know , this is confirmed by international ratings, we are thirtysecond in this rating, this is a very high indicator, thirtysecond out of, if i m not mistaken, but according to i think its 170 countries, thats seriously it really is. Colleagues are always surprised how we have women who make decisions, lead, they are represented in parliament, they have control over all spheres of activity, absolutely, that is , fundamentally, today the republic of belarus shows in all indicators, in all the goals of the movement, we do not have a single goal, in which there would be no progress of less than 60 . And these are objective things that are confirmed, well , not just by statistical information, they are calculated according to foreign methodology. Nadezhda nikolaevna, what successes can you achieve in belarus . Highlight, in this context, in the implementation of Sustainable Development goals, maybe environmental in the implementation of Sustainable Development goals, speaking about environmental goals, belarus can undoubtedly be considered one of the leaders, that this includes clean air, and clean water, and biodiversity, and of course , at the same time, we must talk about such a goal as the eleventh goal, yes, the eleventh, twelfth is innovation, industrialization and modernization of our economy, we must talk about the introduction of a circular economy, what we are now rationally moving towards the use of secondary material resources, and, moreover, the latest changes in legislation, which have now been introduced by the house of representatives to the law on waste management, and belarus is, we must probably talk about this, the first country where it will be prohibited at the legislative level. Disposal of secondary material resources, we were already the leader of such an environmental agenda in the cis countries, now at the legislative level we are the only and first country in the countries of the independent commonwealth state, this is the breakthrough that allows us to act very competently, it must be said that we not only do this at this legislative level, moreover , for example, the latest law is adopted with a time lag of 6 months, but it comes into force in february twenty fourth year, for what . So that we, all interested parties, government bodies, banks, and enterprises receive temporary time to prepare, to develop specific measures and implement this legislation. Inna viktorovna, how are we . Foreign colleagues are assessing our achievements, our progress in achieving the Sustainable Development goals, we know that a delegation came to you, and our partners who oversee the Sustainable Development goals, we learned from the press that they were in such a pleasant shock, they were surprised the level of our countrys achievements for Sustainable Development, indeed the regional director for Sustainable Development goals visited belstat and we showed our experience, our experience, by the way, is worldleading, in world practice, and belarus, when it assumes obligations, when the head of state says that we will be committed to Sustainable Development goals. We are really moving in this direction, we presented an assessment, not all countries, by the way, carry out an assessment of progress, and we presented this assessment, and the first thing she said, she was impressed, this is one, second, you need to raise the level, that is, take increased obligations, since you have exceeded Many International or world indicators in the republic of belarus, then move in the direction of even greater improvement of the internal environment, and you know, there are indicators that we can confidently do, absolutely, and Valery Ivanovich and i have already discussed this, in principle we think. Is to really move forward, because for us a number of indicators are no longer relevant today, because we have fulfilled and exceeded, and today we no longer use global indicators, because they are not typical for us, but you will agree that this work we carry out, we carry out not for the sake of indicators, not for the sake of a tick, we we do this for the wellbeing of our people, for the prosperity of our native belarus. Valery ivanovich, tell me, you are the National Coordinator of the Sustainable Development goals in belarus, right . Tell me, how is this work structured, what is the architecture for managing the process of achieving Sustainable Development goals, what elements does it include, how is it organized in the country, well, first of all, i must say, this is the idea that you have already heard from tv viewers pushed that belarus, for belarus goals Sustainable Development is essentially organic, yeah, well, if there hadnt been a 2015 summit, we wouldnt have been working on improving our environmental situation, working with waste, or improving wellbeing and ensuring the sustainability of the functioning of cities there, well , we did if this were included in our Program Strategic documents, of course we are interested in how we look compared to others, and. Of course, we can position ourselves in a good sense and advertise in order to do this systematically, of course, the work is coordinated, for this purpose a council for Sustainable Development has been created, with the council uniting 38 government bodies, local governments, that is, it is a broad representation, regional, sectoral, public organizations, executive committees, executive committees, thats all, one way or another otherwise, five sectoral. Social development , education, summing up, what is most important is that the level of representation in the Sustainable Development council is very high, because it is usually a deputy, drivers, although they often take part in the work, the council and the heads of government bodies themselves. One of the most active participants in this work, therefore, but there is still a place for youth ambassadors, yes , there are youth ambassadors, a parliamentary group, a partnership group, that is, a very broad representation, well, that is, the system is quite hierarchical, yes, that is, proposal ideas collected from below, correctly, according to methodology, clarification of what we will collect there, how much, but we have a very important point, we are developing a National Strategy for Sustainable Development. The National Strategy has already been developed by the year thirtyfifth, work is now being organized to develop the next National Strategy, it is then developed into a fiveyear program, into annual plans, that is, it is legislatively incorporated into the National Strategy into our planning and forecasting system, that is, it is here also very important, here is Valery Ivanovich, smoothly moving from this thesis that you just mentioned, nadezhda nikolaevna, are the Sustainable Development goals taken into account in the strategic and Program Documents of our country, and how are they not only incorporated there, moreover, all of our fiveyear state sectoral programs for Socioeconomic Development contain separate sections and separate specific target indicators for implementation of the program, corresponding to the indicators of the Sustainable Development goals approved by our statistical committee, that is, one of the results of the implementation of our program, except for us the usual Industry Indicators are specific indicators of goaloriented Sustainable Development, if this is a state program for the protection of the environment, natural resources, this will be sdg15, yes, these are all those sdg13, that is, each goal is implemented in a specific program, this there are already key indicators, all our ministers are already clearly tracking and understand, this allows, moreover, we are now moving to the level of localizing sustainable goals. Development, what are ours for, regional executive committees, District Executive committees, when adopting their fiveyear programs, also understand that they evaluate the contribution they make to achieving national Sustainable Development goals, this is very important, we have a council on Sustainable Development goals in each region, of course, the leaders are the mogilev region, Mogilev Regional Executive Committee , and we, together with our regions, the city of minsk, selected indicators for monitoring indicators of Sustainable Development goals at the local level, that is, at the regional level, and today we are creating a National Platform for tracking Sustainable Development goals is also not an empty phrase for them; they are also involved in this work , we know about the platform, if you allow, well talk about its advantages a little later, because well, we need to go into more detail there, im being modest, ill say that this for the first time in the world, so, we are the first, colleagues, i propose to summarize the block of questions dedicated to our achievements, we need to put such a point, well , tangible for our respected tv viewers, or i dont know, maybe even an exclamation point, and i would like to note , that belarus, at the end of the twentysecond year, took sixtieth place on the Human Development index and continues to be in the category of countries with a very high level of Human Development, in the ranking of Sustainable Development goals belarus also maintains a high position, it is thirty fourth out of 163 states, and more about ilona vylynets will tell you about the results of belarus on the path to achieving Sustainable Development goals, lets take a look. Belarus is one of the World Leaders in achieving Sustainable Development goals. Almost 80 of obligations have been fulfilled. A now lets use specific examples to understand what applies to tsurki and where we really succeeded. Food security. Our country not only provides itself with food, but successfully sells it on world markets. We have enough vegetables and potatoes, but we produce much more meat, milk, sugar, and Vegetable Oil than we ourselves need. Just think about it, domestic producers produce more than 380 types of cheese, over a thousand types of Meat Products and more than half of the types of milk. Quality medicine accessible to everyone, healthcare has always been and. Remains a priority of our state , almost 30 medical facilities were put into operation last year alone, interdistrict centers are provided with everything necessary, diagnostics and treatment in them are no worse than in capital clinics, belarus ranks twentyfifth position in the ranking of the most comfortable countries for motherhood is in the top 50 countries, pregnancy behavior and organization of childbirth, and our doctors were the first in europe to reduce the transmission of personal infections from mother to baby. Infant indicator mortality rate is the lowest. Among the cis countries. The spiritual image of the entire nation is formed at school. Every belarusian has the right to receive free education. Its quality is guaranteed in every corner of the country. We are in thirtysecond place in the education index and this is the best result among the cis countries. Our Adult Literacy rate is one of the highest in the world. The state spares no expense on education. The share of expenses for it is about 5 of gdp. Only for the last 3 years in the country. Built 30 new kindergartens and 14 schools according to the un, belarus is among the top 20 countries in terms of the populations access to clean water. Yes, we are lucky to be born in the region of rivers and lakes, but we not only value our natural wealth, but also work on our own comfort. Over the past 2 years alone, about 350 iron removal stations have been built in the country. 96. 9 of belarusians use highquality drinking water. In 2025, this figure will be increased to 100. Covid19 has destroyed billions of lives and threatened the global economy. Thanks to the wise policy of belarusians they did not stop production and continued to work. And even now, despite unprecedented sanctions, our economy is showing growth, enterprises are provided with orders, and by the end of the year they plan to produce more than 30 billion rubles worth of commercial products. Exports to approach 7 billion. Decent salary, safe and comfortable working conditions under close attention. According to all indicators that characterize social inequality, belarus is one of the most prosperous countries. We dont have oligarchs, thats all National Wealth belongs to the people. The state protects the interests of ordinary citizens and supports those who are in difficult life situations. This year, 27. 2 billion rubles have been allocated for the social sphere. Pensions and benefits are being recalculated, comfortable conditions are being created for those who have Health Problems and cannot take care of themselves. And using the best practices of other countries, belarus is following its own unique path, we have something to be proud of. Global goals, of course, are reflected to us, ordinary belarusians, as we all want not only to exist, but to live in comfort, and most importantly , peace. Well, you see, we have something to be proud of, of course , it was not possible to collect all the achievements in this capacious story, i think it would be possible to make an hourlong film about achieving the goal of Sustainable Development, but uh, looking at our results, but pride it takes, it takes pride, its nice to feel like a belarusian, pride in the country, inna viktorovna, but. Returning to the question of the regional platform on Sustainable Development goals, well, Valery Ivanovich noted that this is such an innovation, not just regional, but global, what kind of platform is this and what advantages, what opportunities does it open up for us . Absolutely right, we were the first to demote the National Platform for monitoring indicators of Sustainable Development goals to the regional level. Yes. To date, we have already selected indicators by region and some of the indicators correspond to the national list, because we want to be able to compare these indicators, but some of the indicators talk about directly the characteristics of the region itself and the regions themselves proposed these indicators. What will be possible to see how each region is developing in comparison, who is faster, who is slower, who has what salary, who has what grp, that is. In principle, we will even be able to make a rating of regions based on the indicators that we have selected; this is a very good analytical tool for both science and our ministry of economy and other Government Agencies that will make decisions on the development of specific regions, especially moreover, we have an order, which is one of the priorities of our fiveyear plan to reduce the differentiation of regions. Since this platform will provide the opportunity to work, absolutely right. Well, this is wonderful, listen, its an achievement, there are innovative platforms here, well, everything is too smooth in our implementation of Sustainable Development goals, but dear experts, i propose to recall the thesis of the head of state, which he emphasized in his response to the un secretary general, sanctions, they called a deterrent fact that prevents, which hinders progress in achieving global Sustainable Development goals at the global level. Valery ivanovich, well, we understand that sanctions have a negative impact on the implementation of the sdgs, but could you explain to us how and why the unfair sanctions pressure that is being exerted not only on belarus, but on many other countries in the world, this. How, through what mechanisms and what impact does it have on the implementation of Sustainable Development goals . Dmitry vetorevich, i repeat, i i will say that about twenty speakers at the un podium, yeah, spoke about the negative impact of sanctions, although while preparing the final document. Discussion, therefore the position of the republic of belarus is official; we will also express our proposals to clarify it upon final consideration. Firstly, sanctions against belarus and our partners, our allies affected the achievement of Sustainable Development goals in our country, that is, well, we remember the subsidence. Against the backdrop of the static pressure last year, it is recouping this year, it is happening restorative growth, because contacts are being established, news, partners, friendly countries, a lot, which means that sanctions affected approximately 16 billion dollars of ours, our traditional exports, that is, this is a lot, so when individual leaders of state and governments who spoke. We support zur, we allocate 400 Million Dollars there for the implementation of this agenda , i think, my god, 16 billion belarusian, you give us back this, which was taken away, to the belarusian people, who are still is still reaping the fruits, the negative fruits of the second world war, the great patriotic war, chernobyl 200 billion dollars of damage, all this, of course, disrupted our plans, no one will return anything to us, but we are great, we reoriented ourselves, but yes, but the second there is an aspect, very important, belarus is important, a player in the world, food market and fertilizer market, fertilizer, yes , therefore, supplying every fifth share of potassium to the world market means, but this sounds like a joke, yes, they say, let us be , this means ensuring Food Security in. The world, let us eliminate hunger in the world, they immediately block the supply of belarusian rut fertilizers, without which it is difficult to obtain a high harvest in the world, well , it is impossible to obtain, the second side. Ill add a little, yes, they are blocking supplies, which means there will be hunger in the world, and rising prices for goods, which means inflation, which means impoverishment of the population, this is the result, this is the result of what sanctions have led to at the international level, but this is a conscious this is the strategy, and either its, well, no, no, foresight, no, foresight these are the decisions that. But the boomerang is still present, a calculated or not calculated other question, i think that no one is probably assessing in detail, there are strategic consequences, even for those countries that impose sanctions, there is certainly a reason behind this lobbying is seen, that is, canada, for example, from rising prices for. This is a direct beneficiary of the imposition of sanctions on our viburnum ; moreover, this means that a certain hypocrisy is manifested in what is happening at the un podium, the head of government is speaking of this country, mr. Trudeau, he is positioned as a committed member of the group, adherents, of the Sustainable Development goals, while he, of course, means with seal, with some guarantees, promises, he speaks about what he will do to achieve the goal of Sustainable Development , im sitting, were all immersed in this agenda, im sitting and i just feel somehow uncomfortable, because including for him, uh, my god, uh, that means 25, according to some estimates, perhaps not yet fully confirmed, canada provided 25 of Greenhouse Gas emissions due to fires that. Occurred on this territory, this is his direct area of ​​responsibility for contributing to the achievement of Sustainable Development goals, ensure the fight against fires on his territory, now we are seeing a situation where the Sustainable Development goals agenda is used by dishonest contractors, especially even not in the political plane, in the economic plane, in competition, when they are forced out of the market of organizations that may not be sufficiently informed about the measures that are being taken to ensure the objectives in the field of Sustainable Development, in particular environmental issues, such an agenda veils the goals of imposing values ​​alien to us, for example, through the gender equality agenda, which means we, we know this well, this means we are being told that we need to be more in identification a person as a bearer of a certain gender, nontraditional , lets say, so i would like to Pay Attention to these aspects, so perhaps this requires some kind of global assessment and also incorporated into the international dialogue, in order to exclude the situation that we see now in democracy, when democracy is, in fact, such a universal thesis for the start of any conflicts, wars, and the introduction of unilateral coercive measures. Nikolaevna, we know that you are a specialist in the Green Economy, in the system of Sustainable Development goals, a special place is given to the green direction, this includes responsible production, consumption, and the preservation of ecosystems, climate and so on, our country has adopted a plan, National Plan actions to develop green development, how do you evaluate its implementation, is it necessary to push somewhere, are there problems, here are your assessments, the National Action plan for the development of a Green Economy is the second such document of its kind that has been adopted in our country, and i want to say that the implementation of the activities of this document is monitored annually; moreover, the second National Plan now contains 11 priority areas. And which clearly contain a list of specific events and a wide range, the list can be say, the performers responsible, yes, involved in their implementation, speaking about success so far, in general, its implementation is assessed as successful, speaking about some specific examples, if we talk about sustainable production, yes, then of course systematic work is being carried out in the republic to create a National System the best available technological methods. Moreover, these methods successfully, the creation of such a platform allows enterprises. Not to waste time searching for these best methods, but to immediately see the best that can be applied in their field implement them successfully. The system of ecolabeling and ecocertification is actively developing, but talking, for example, about the success of electric transport in general, probably makes no sense, because every citizen of our country sees this perfectly on the roads of our city, in the last issue we discussed electric transport in belarus, there is a big topic there, because of course, now, when we say that 50, in the city of minsk 50 , and passenger traffic taking into account the metro is electric transport, in the country as a whole, taking into account Regional Centers, this is this indicator already about 30 , but lets not forget that in 2017. We had 40 units of electric vehicles throughout the country, this is the progress that, yes, and today we all ride electric buses and are not even surprised, yes, that they run on green fuel, so to speak about absolutely every direction of organic production is also systematically developing, to talk about resourceefficient energysaving technologies, our enterprises are systemic, not only are they being systematically implemented, but today you are actively turning to external circuit in may 2 years, competitions were announced, such as the green eurasia competition, i must say that our enterprise belneftim, and their Green Network malanka project, took first place in the lowcarbon transport category, and at the same time this enterprise overtook such giants as Russian Railways and other large eac enterprises, and the brevsky waste Processing Plant entered the top three enterprises in the category of effective waste management, this is the best indicator in the eac space, as promised. Industrialization, innovation and infrastructure, how these categories can improve peoples lives in practice, Alexey Kondratenko looked into the city of stolptsy to talk about the comprehensive development of the city through the prism of the ninth Sustainable Development goal, a municipal view from the master of interesting stories. Lets get a look. The city that is dear to me and which i am losing my strength to forget, the kolosovsky flavor is just one of the calling cards of the columns, the city has a lot of them, these are wellmaintained streets and courtyards, developed industry, cozy new buildings, and recently they opened a modern cinema. Innovation in education is already at the start of the Primary School students of stoltsovskaya School Number 4, which. Was opened just a couple of years ago in the english alphabet they know best four letters s, e, m, at the same time, natural sciences, technology, engineering and mathematics are developing children in a comprehensive and creative way, for me the most interesting thing here is to design it, we need to go in, program it, then we ll go, in general, robotic design, that is, this is also like an innovation, the guys come here, its very interesting to assemble various models, there are a lot of models, we went to minsk for a robotics competition called the road of the future and we took 2 years in a row and received a third degree diploma. The apple is of good quality, we process 45 tons of it per day. The apple harvesting and processing season is celebrated around the clock. Work , however, for the stolptsovsky branch of the gorodeysk sugar plant, this is the usual mode, in addition to juices, nectars, canned vegetables, they produce fruit fillers for the dairy industry of belarus, modernization and willingness to offer new products to the market is one of the factors in the confident development of the enterprise ; a line of fillers has also been developed for baby food; these products are also in demand among our dairymen; over this year, we can say that we have developed about 40 recipes for fruit fillers only. The evolution of the columns, and the city is 430 years old, like the sailing boat vitina, is moving along its course, from a centuriesold trading place and agricultural region to a compact, cozy Regional Center with developed industry. Last 30 years the activities of the branch of the minsk motor plant dominated. Now there are plans for a new one. History became a new task, how to develop further, through what, and we began to think what was paramount, a new workplace, or comfortable Living Conditions to attract the same labor resources, and we came to the conclusion that everything so we must make our city comfortable, attractive for living, and only then, due to this, attract new investment projects here, our next idea is the further development of industry. Cluster, for why we created a site, an area of ​​400 hectares, an industrial park, columns, lets call it that , in the future, where all the Necessary Communications are connected, their capacity corresponds to the most such volume production and we believe that here is the arrival of new Enterprises Like a branch of the minsk motor plant, of course, it could give us a new round in development, but its an interesting look, youll agree, but when preparing for the program, viktorovna, we read the foreign press, among other things, and you know, thats what caught my eye, uh, the statement, here analysts, yes, foreign, and more than one, that the coronavirus associated economic restrictions in the world , for several years, they have greatly slowed down global, yes, global progress in achieving Sustainable Development goals, but belarus has largely succeeded to avoid. This, thats due to what, how, an absolutely correct statement, when everyone went into lockdown, the decision made by the head of state that we continue to work, protect ourselves, but continue to work, has given its effect, as a result, belarus practically in 2020, the gdp rate was almost at the level of last year, when other countries significantly reduced gdp volumes, belarus remained almost at the same level, but those that directly depended on lockdowns, for example, unemployment or low income, yes, when people were kicked out of work, when people received lower wages, in belarus they decreased even more, that is , both unemployment and poverty decreased in 2020, when the time came to restore the economies of other countries, we were completely ready to sell our goods, yeah, that is, in principle, it was time. Of course, certain restructuring, but nevertheless, it was time to prepare to come out on time with our goods, well, plus, it is clear that Service Sectors such as tourism, culture, of course, and such as hotel accommodation, this is understandable, have sagged, but today they have recovered, and they have improved very much, well, thats just what i mean, thats how much. Wise decisions were made, you will remember this criticism, and our opponents, that everything is wrong, and now, when we look at the dynamics of the implementation of Sustainable Development goals in other countries, there is a collapse everywhere, but belarus has practically none, well, here is the evidence for you, dmitry avitolyevich, i will add to to what inna viktorovna said, because now there are studies of the consequences, for not only the economy , but also health, society, those decisions made, it turns out, even sanitary, from a medical point of view, that the path that was chosen in our country, he is from this point point of view, it is quite rational, because, as the head of state said then, that they were locked up in their apartments, well , the real sector was stopped in many countries, this is a catastrophe in economic terms, a catastrophe, but here i would also like to recall the context of what i already said, how much. Corruption scandals erupted in such global areas regarding commerce centered around the sale, development and sale of vaccines, in which these scandals involved top officials of the European Union and others so on, there are questions, there are questions, Valery Ivanovich, but despite the obvious, lets return to the goals of Sustainable Development. Despite the obvious achievements of our country in achieving these goals, 80 , and by and large they have been achieved , despite the achievements, are there any difficulties on a national scale, are there any problematic aspects in achieving the Sustainable Development goals that need to be worked on . , and maybe the goals themselves need updating, clarification and revision, what do you think . Dmitry avetolievich, well again National Aspects and global aspect , as for the national aspect, i dont see any problems here; i will emphasize once again that our country can be presented as a world model. If we talk about some goals, yes, of course, today we can say that they are needed, they need to be revised and updated, first of all, in connection with the digitalization of the world economy. Social life, i could probably say today that this aspect should come to the fore, in addition to those aspects that were discussed the summit, and this and financing of developing countries, and well, other aspects, they are known, firstly , digitalization, we must uh, look at the negative aspects of the use of digital technologies, Artificial Intelligence for for the global agenda, secondly, we have a sixteenth goal, it touches on issues of peace, justice and so on, after all , effective institutions, effective institutions, in fact, there is enough that we need to Pay Attention to, well, probably, compliance with our obligations, as a separate goal, by our partners, our partners, for example, we have and the third and fourth goal is education and healthcare, for which we still need to add and maximize efforts, well , the thirtieth year has not yet arrived, and the thirtieth year has not come, but how consonant are they with those meetings that carried out by the head of state, right . Good question, fundamentally, there is a need to strengthen health care and education, the head of state has set appropriate tasks, there is a need to work on effective employment and accelerated growth economy and the head of state signed a decree on forecast parameters for the year 24. Nadezhda nikolaevna, i cant help but ask you a question about environmental risks, these are the environmental risks, in the context of achievement. Collapse of systems, extreme weather events, failure of climate policy, but this is all a global eco. Im talking about Global Global environmental risks, why . We cannot talk or not talk about them, because in nature everything is interconnected, firstly, and secondly, belarus is geographically located. In the Geographical Center europe, we have borders with five states, and negative environmental consequences in any of them will have an indirect direct impact on the environment in the republic of belarus. Therefore, we must also take this into account and monitor it. Speaking about environmental risks, of course, we are talking about internal environmental risks , we will talk about an increase, our level of prosperity is growing, the level of consumption is growing, at the same time the level of Household Waste is growing, some problems remain. Certain problems with pollutant emissions, and with discharges of pollutants. Moreover, our industrial giants, our industrial enterprises, we must take into account, are potential sources, a potential threat to the environment, so such attention is given on the side of the state, including economic certification, economic standards, and all emission control, this is also we must take into account, of course, our tv viewers can
