Towards a Human rights-Centred, Transformative Agenda Beyond 2030 By Gabriele Koehler and Catherine Mbengue MUNICH / BRUSSELS , Jul 7 2026 (IPS) - The 2030 agenda cum SDGs are due to be completed in 2030, with negotiations towards a follow-up agenda to begin formally at the UN General Assembly in autumn 2027. Many direct or indirect discussions have, however, already begun, e.g. pluri-laterally at BRICS and G20 meetings and the EU; as well as at the UN in connection with the Summit of the Future, the Doha World Summit for Social Development, the Beyond GDP report; or in fora such as the Hamburg Sustainability Conference. Think tanks and academics, too, are brainstorming on how best to re-ignite a genuine commitment to the SDGs and at the same time reflect on the future. https://www.ipsnews.net/2026/07/towards-a-human-rights-centred-transformative-agenda-beyond-2030/ Copyright © 2026 IPS-Inter Press Service.
