 On the fifth and final day of OWG-11, delegates offered their comments on two focus areas: Means of implementation (MOI)/Global partnership for sustainable development; and Peaceful and inclusive societies, rule of law and capable institutions.
At the end of the day, OWG Co-Chair Kamau presented the Co-Chairs’ views on the next iteration of the working document and on the way forward. He said the issue of equality will be included in the next iteration of the working document. On climate change, he said some supporters of a stand-alone goal are willing to be flexible, if the concerns are addressed elsewhere in the framework to their satisfaction. Therefore, climate change will remain in the next version of the document. He said the MOI focus area will remain in the document. He noted that delegates were divided on whether to include a focus area on peaceful and inclusive societies, rule of law and capable institutions, and said it would therefore remain in the next version of the document. Kamau said the next version will have many more targets, and it will be made available on or around 27 May. He said the chapeau to the document, which had been promised by the end of OWG-11, will be sent out by midnight, 9 May.
On the process for the next OWG sessions, he proposed keeping the OWG as-is, but with a much stronger focus on discussing the targets. At OWG-12, following opening statements on the first morning, he said delegates will discuss the document, target by target. He proposed that, in response to the request for more informal conversations, the week before the remaining two OWG sessions would be dedicated to informal-informals. He said the first such session would take place from 9-11 June, in the UNGA Hall, the week prior to OWG-12. He stressed that the informal-informals will not pre-empt the OWG. Kamau opened the floor for comments, and delegations applauded in approval. Kamau gaveled the meeting to a close at 6:42 pm.
