“All human rights issues have sustainable development dimensions… To achieve sustainable development, We need to promote the excellence in education and science and its influential role in socio-economic policy and development”.
-- 17 April 1968



HRH Prince Mohammad bin King Faisal (I) bin El-Sharif Hussein El-Hashemite

RASIT’s Founder President



What are the Sustainable Development Goals?



The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), also known as the Global Goals, were adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015. Its Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set out global priorities for both people and planet. They tackle important human development and other challenges, and the means of creating a more peaceful, inclusive, and sustainable world.

The 2030 Agenda, should be seen in the context of five other global development-related processes:
• the outcome of the Third UN World Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction in Sendai, Japan. If development isn't risk informed, it won't be sustainable development
• the Addis Ababa Action Agenda adopted at the Third International Conference on Financing for Development in July in Ethiopia. Money may not be everything, but it does matter rather a lot in achieving development progress
• the agreement on climate change expected to be reached at COP21 in Paris. Climate change has emerged as one of the major threats - some would say the major threat - to sustainable development
• the Quadrennial Comprehensive Policy Review for Development that will occur late next year and presented to the UN by the Committee on Development Policy and
• the HABITAT III Conference that will deal with sustainable housing and urban development.

Finalizing global agendas is one thing implementing them is another.

The sub-title of the 2030 Agenda is "Transforming our World". Indeed, fundamental transformations in the way the world lives, works, and does business are needed to: End poverty in all its forms everywhere to achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture to Ensure healthy lives and promote wellbeing for all at all ages to Ensure inclusive and quality education for all and promote lifelong learning for building the low carbon, climate resilient, green and inclusive economies and societies of the future and last but not least to Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls.

The Agenda 2030 challenges us in three major points:
- to transform for "people" and for "planet"
- to transform how we understand and how we strive for "prosperity" and
- to travel a road to transformation based on peace, stability, inclusion, and partnerships.

What is rasit's role?



At the heart of Socio-Economic Sustainable Development since 1968.



Through its Sustainable Development Studies Center, founded in 1982, RASIT continues its commitments to help and assist countries and multi-stakeholders in achieving the SDGs through specially designed solutions to meet each society’s needs. Our track record working with governments, private sector, academic institutions and civil society across socio-economic issues provides us with a valuable experience and proven expertise to ensure we all reach the targets set out in the SDGs by 2030.

All development policies should be based on several specific measures employed to enhance cooperation between developing and developed countries. Such conscious cooperation will initiate positive and effective returns in providing sustainable and practical solutions for any development programs, and empowering and improving the scientific competencies, and narrowing the gap between countries.
-- 17 April 1968
