A/HRC/43/33 97. Accelerating progress would require greater coherence and alignment of efforts to meet human rights obligations and implement the commitments of the Sustainable Development Goals. A human rights-based approach to development was more necessary than ever, and strong leadership and political will was required for the decade of action and delivery. 98. The transformative nature of the 2030 Agenda required people to be put first and human rights-based public policies to be adopted, including stronger social protection and pro-poor macroeconomic policies to counter rising inequalities. Sufficient political will and financial resources must be ensured in order to realize all human rights and to strengthen institutional mechanisms for increased public participation. 99. Lessons could be learned from the good practices shared during the meeting, including Member States’ institutional arrangements, innovative data platforms, national action plans and cross-governmental and cross-societal approaches. It was crucial to continue sharing knowledge and experience regarding human rights-based implementation of the 2030 Agenda. 100. Human rights data and analysis are central to addressing exclusion, discrimination and inequalities. There was broad acknowledgment of the importance of disaggregated data as the basis of inclusive policies that prioritized those furthest behind. There should be greater investment in closing gaps in data gathering and analysis, including through innovative ways of data collection. 101. The 2020 comprehensive review of the global indicator framework would provide an opportunity to pursue data disaggregation and advocate a human rightsbased approach to data collection and reporting. 102. National statistical offices played a crucial role in supporting implementation of the Goals. Further efforts should be made to support the adoption by national statistical offices of a human rights-based approach to data collection and analysis, and to promote cooperation between national statistical offices and national human rights institutions. 103. Ongoing reforms of the United Nations system, including the United Nations development system, offered critical entry points for closer partnership between human rights actors and development actors in advancing human rights and ensuring accelerated progress on the 2030 Agenda. 104. Continued efforts should be made to maximize the opportunities offered by the reform of the United Nations development system to strengthen integration of the three pillars of the United Nations in order to promote transformative action on the ground, including by strengthening the intersection between the realization of all human rights and implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals. 105. The enhanced roles of resident coordinators and United Nations country teams offer opportunities to break down silos and step up action to achieve truly sustainable development, advance human rights and human rights-based policies, counter rising inequalities and address the drivers of exclusion. 106. Achieving the 2030 Agenda would require a “whole-of-society”, multistakeholder approach. Stronger, inclusive and meaningful public participation in the development and monitoring of policies on the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals with adequate resource allocation would be vital, and should include civil society, parliaments, youth, children and groups at risk of being left behind. 107. Achieving the Sustainable Development Goals would require the expansion and safeguarding of civic space and protection of human rights defenders. Civil society organizations were important development partners with innovative ideas to help achieve the Goals. 108. National human rights institutions could also play an important role, given their connection with marginalized groups and given that they were in a position to identify gaps and develop policies and measures for those likely to be left behind. 14
