“Too often, refugees, which are an indicator if you wish of the situation, receive humanitarian assistance, but the lack of further investments, condemns them and their host communities to misery, setting back the development agenda. And we see this in so many places in the world.”

5. SOUDNBITE (English) Filippo Grandi, United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR):
“This much talk about nexus between humanitarian and development, we won't achieve it unless we move development and the pursuit of the SDGs to a much needed faster track, at least in situations of crisis and post conflict unless we really embark on what we call now emergency development during the crisis itself.”

“Hunger and poverty in indigenous territories can be overcome if our rights to our own manage and control of our lands, territories, waters and resources are protected. Indigenous peoples territories are still being devastated, and we are displaced in the name of conservation in mega infrastructure projects.”

“We call on States to recognize the identities and rights of indigenous peoples which is affirmed in the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. Many States in Asia and Africa still deny the identities of indigenous peoples, the human rights-based approach should be at the core of the implementation of the SDGs.”

STORYLINE
Speaking at a leaders’ dialogue today (18 Sep) on building resilience, UN High Commissioner for Refugees Filippo Grandi said that too often, the lack of further investments in refugees “condemns them and their host communities to misery, setting back the development agenda.”

The dialogue “Building resilience and leaving no one behind” considers the profiles of resilience that demonstrate humanity’s capacity to overcome adversity. It also addressed disaster risk reduction and disaster resilience as well as advancing the SDGs in crisis and humanitarian settings.

Grandi said, the nexus between humanitarian and development, “we won't achieve it unless we move development and the pursuit of the SDGs to a much-needed faster track, at least in situations of crisis and post conflict.”

Local and indigenous approaches to building resilience and wellbeing were also introduced in the discussion.

Victoria Tauli-Corpuz, Executive Director of Indigenous Peoples International Centre for Policy Research and Education told delegates, “Hunger and poverty in indigenous territories can be overcome if our rights to our own manage and control of our lands, territories, waters and resources are protected.”

She reiterated, “indigenous peoples territories are still being devastated, and we are displaced in the name of conservation in mega infrastructure projects.”

Tauli-Corpuz called on States to “recognize the identities and rights of indigenous peoples which is affirmed in the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.”

She noted that “many States in Asia and Africa still deny the identities of indigenous peoples,” reiterating that “the human rights-based approach should be at the core of the implementation of the SDGs.”

The themes of the 2023 SDG Summit Leaders’ Dialogues are based upon the analysis conveyed in the Report of the Secretary-General (Special Edition) entitled “Progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals: Towards a Rescue Plan for People and Planet” as well as the main findings of the 2023 Global Sustainable Development Report (GSDR).

The Dialogues are aimed to elicit the participation of Heads of State and Government, while also providing opportunity to receive priority messages and inputs from major groups and other stakeholders as critical to the successful implementation of the 2030 Agenda.
