the sea.(THESE SAME MEORITES MIGHT POISON ALL THE EARTHS WATERS ALSO)
9
Which maketh Arcturus, Orion, and Pleiades, and the chambers of the
south.(AND IT IS INTERESTING GOD THRONE IS IN THE NORTH.AND FROM THE
SOUTH THESE METEORITES WILL BE FALLING ON EARTH)
COULD THE FALLING STARS-PLANETS BE PLEIADES AND ORION-JUST MY THOUGHT
Historically,
the Pleiades were seen as a group of seven stars – its brightest stars:
Alcyone, Atlas, Electra, Maia, Merope, Taygeta and Pleione are visible
to the keen naked eye. However modern observations show that this most
famous of open clusters is comprised of several hundred stars wreathed
in intricately structured nebulosity.As the Pleiades cluster is close to
the ecliptic (within 4°) in the constellation of Taurus it is a spring
and autumnal 'seasonal' object in both the northern and southern
hemispheres. Being close to the ecliptic, there are frequent
occultations of the cluster with the Moon and planets. To our
superstitious ancestors these were, no doubt, portentious events.
Likewise, the apparent annual motion of the cluster would have been
highly significant. The heliacal (near dawn) rising of the Pleiades in
spring in the northern hemisphere has from ancient times augured the
opening of the seafaring and farming season: while its dawn autumnal
setting marked the season's end.And also Spring and fall are Bird
migration seasons in Israel.It would not surprise me if Israeli wars are
not fought around the time of the Pleiades-Orion happenings.The Bible
contains three direct references to the Pleiades in Job 9:9 and 38:31,
and Amos 5:8, and a single indirect reference in the New Testament. This
latter passage (Revelation 1:16) describes a vision of the coming of
the Messiah – who holds, in his right hand, seven stars.Well since the
meteors do hit the earth in the last 6 months of the 7 year tribulation
period.I believe.Jesus' return will be only 6 months or so from
happening.So this Pieades (meteorites) earth hit would be warning the
world that Jesus is about to return to earth literally.
AMOS 5:8 (FORGET ABOUT PLANET X-NIBURU)(HERES THE FALLING STARS HERE)
8
Seek him (GOD) that maketh the seven stars (plieades) and Orion, and
turneth the shadow of death (darkness) into the morning, and maketh the
day dark with night: that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth
them out upon the face of the earth: The LORD is his name:
JOB 38:31-33
31
Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of
Orion? (BIND AND LOOSE THESE STARS)(GOD GIVES US A HINT-THESE ARE THE
ONES THAT FALL TO EARTH)
32 Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons?
33
Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven? canst thou set the dominion
thereof in the earth? (GOD TELLS US-I CAN THROW THESE STARS TO EARTH-I
AM IN CONTROL OF ALL THINGS)

of it, and the night likewise.(HERES WERE THE ASTEROID HIT BLOCKS THE

And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven,
saying with a loud voice, Woe,(1) woe,(2) woe,(3) to the inhabiters of
the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three
angels,which are yet to sound!

Right
now, three notable active meteor showers overlap in the summer sky: the
Southern Delta Aquariids (peaking late July), the Alpha Capricornids
(peaking late July), and the famous Perseids (active through August and
peaking August 12–13). You can track current activity and schedules via
the American Meteor Society.Active Summer ShowersSouthern Delta
Aquariids: Active from mid-July to late August; steady and best viewed
after midnight.Alpha Capricornids: Active through mid-August; famous for
producing bright, slow-moving fireballs.Perseids: Active from mid-July
to late August; peaks August 12–13 with fast, bright meteors.
Southern
delta Aquariids-Currently active-Active from July 12th to August 23rd,
2026-The Delta Aquariids are another strong shower best seen from the
southern tropics. North of the equator the radiant is located lower in
the southern sky and therefore rates are less than seen from further
south. These meteors produce good rates for a week centered on the night
of maximum. These are usually faint meteors that lack both persistent
trains and fireballs. In 2026, the full moon occurs only two days prior
to the peak therefore activity will be severely compromised y the bright
moonlight .Shower details - Radiant: 22:40 -16.4° - ZHR: 25 - Velocity:
25 miles/sec (medium - 41km/sec) - Parent Object: 96P/Machholz? Next
Peak - The Southern delta Aquariids will next peak on the Jul 30-31,
2026 night. On this night, the moon will be 98% full.
alpha
Capricornids-Currently active-Active from July 3rd to August 15th,
2026-The alpha Capricornids are active from July 12 through August 12
with a "plateau-like" maximum centered on July 31st. This shower is not
very strong and rarely produces in excess of 5 shower members per hour.
What is notable about this shower is the number of bright fireballs
produced during its activity period. This shower is seen equally well on
either side of the equator. In 2026, the full moon occurs only two days
prior to the peak therefore activity will be severely compromised by
the bright moonlight .Shower details - Radiant: 20:28 -10° - ZHR: 5 -

night. On this night, the moon will be 98% full.
Perseids-Currently
active-Active from July 17th to August 24th, 2026-The Perseids are the
most popular meteor shower as they peak on warm August nights as seen
from the northern hemisphere. The Perseids are active from July 17 to
August 24.. They reach a strong maximum on August 12 or 13, depending on
the year. Normal hourly rates seen from rural locations range from
30-50 shower members per hour at maximum. The Perseids are particles
released from comet 109P/Swift-Tuttle during its numerous returns to the
inner solar system. They are called Perseids since the radiant (the
area of the sky where the meteors seem to originate) is located near the
prominent constellation of Perseus the hero. When at maximum activity.
In 2026, the moon is new on August 12 so conditions are optimum for
viewing this shower. Shower details - Radiant: 03:12 +58.1° - ZHR: 100 -
Velocity: 37 miles/sec (swift - 59km/sec) - Parent Object:

Orionids-Next
Peak night-Oct 21-22, 2026-Next period of activity: October 2nd, 2026
to November 7th, 2026-The Orionids are a medium strength shower that
sometimes reaches high strength activity. In a normal year the Orionids
produce 10-20 shower members at maximum. In exceptional years, such as
2006-2009, the peak rates were on par with the Perseids (50-75 per
hour). Recent displays have produced low to average displays of this
shower. In 2025, a new moon will occur on October 21st and there will
not be any lunar interference at all.Shower details - Radiant: 06:20

night-Nov 4-5, 2026
Southern Taurids-Next period of activity:
September 20th, 2026 to November 20th, 2026-The Southern Taurids are a
complex shower made up of two main components, the annual component
which peaks on October 14th and the fireball swarm component which peaks
on November 5th. Since 2025 is a swarm year, we will list November 5th
as the peak. The Southern Taurids are rich in fireballs and are often
responsible for increased number of fireball reports from September
through November.Shower details - Radiant: 03:28 +14.5° - ZHR: 5 -

Northern
Taurids-Next period of activity: October 20th, 2026 to December 10th,
2026-This shower is much like the Southern Taurids, just active a bit
later in the year. When the two showers are active simultaneously in
late October and early November, there is sometimes a notable increase
in the fireball activity.Shower details - Radiant: 03:52 +22.2° - ZHR: 5
- Velocity: 18 miles/sec (slow - 29km/sec) - Parent Object:
2P/Encke-Next Peak - The Northern Taurids will next peak on the Nov

night-Nov 16-17, 2026-
Leonids-Next period of activity: November
6th, 2026 to November 30th, 2026-The Leonids are best known for
producing meteor storms in the years of 1833, 1866, 1966, 1999, 2001 and
2002. These outbursts of meteor activity are best seen when the parent
object, comet 55P/Tempel-Tuttle, is near perihelion (closest approach to
the sun). Yet it is not the fresh material we see from the comet, but
rather debris from earlier returns that also happen to be most dense at
the same time. Unfortunately, it appears that the earth will not
encounter any dense clouds of debris until 2099. Therefore, when the
comet returns in 2031 and 2064, there may not be any meteor storms, but
perhaps several good displays of Leonid activity when rates are in
excess of 100 per hour. Each passing year also presents new
possibilities from old debris fields. In 2025, the waning old crescent
moon will rise during the late morning hours and will not spoil the best
viewing hours for this shower.Shower details - Radiant: 10:08 +21.8° -

night-Dec 13-14, 2026
Geminids-Next period of activity: December
4th, 2026 to December 17th, 2026-The Geminids are usually the strongest
meteor shower of the year and meteor enthusiasts are certain to circle
December 13 and 14 on their calendars. This is the one major shower that
provides good activity prior to midnight as the constellation of Gemini
is well placed from 22:00 onward. The Geminids are often bright and
intensely colored. Due to their medium-slow velocity, persistent trains
are not usually seen. These meteors are also seen in the southern
hemisphere, but only during the middle of the night and at a reduced
rate. In 2025, the moon will have a waning crescent phase on December
13/14, which rises near 2am local standard time. Observations prior to
this time will be moon-free. Observations after moon rise can still be
successful by facing westward with the rising moon at your back. .Shower

- The Geminids will next peak on the Dec 13-14, 2026 night. On this
night, the moon will be 21% full-Next Peak night-Dec 21-22, 2026
Ursids-Next
period of activity: December 17th, 2026 to December 26th, 2026-The
Ursids are often neglected due to the fact it peaks just before
Christmas and the rates are much less than the Geminds, which peaks just
a week before the Ursids. Observers will normally see 5-10 Ursids per
hour during the late morning hours on the date of maximum activity.
There have been occasional outbursts when rates have exceeded 25 per
hour. These outbursts appear unrelated to the perihelion dates of comet
8P/Tuttle. This shower is strictly a northern hemisphere event as the
radiant fails to clear the horizon or does so simultaneously with the
start of morning twilight as seen from the southern tropics.In 2025, a
slender crescent moon will be present in the evening sky and will not
interfere with viewing this shower.Shower details - Radiant: 14:28 +76° -
ZHR: 10 - Velocity: 20.5 miles/sec (medium - 33.1km/sec) - Parent

21-22, 2026 night. On this night, the moon will be 94% full.Next Peak
night-Jan 3-4, 2027
Quadrantids-Next period of activity: December
28th, 2026 to January 12th, 2027-The Quadrantids have the potential to
be the strongest shower of the year but usually fall short due to the
short length of maximum activity (6 hours) and the poor weather
experienced during early January. The average hourly rates one can
expect under dark skies is 25. These meteors usually lack persistent
trains but often produce bright fireballs. Due to the high northerly
declination (celestial latitude) these meteors are not well seen from
the southern hemisphere. Predictions for 2027 show a peak near 3:30 UT
on January 4th. This timing favors Europe and western Asia. The lunar
conditions for this date are favorable as the thin waning crescent moon
will not interfere with viewing meteor activity.Shower details -
Radiant: 15:20 +49° - ZHR: 120 - Velocity: 25 miles/sec (medium -
40.4km/sec) - Parent Object: 2003 EH (Asteroid)-Next Peak - The
Quadrantids will next peak on the Jan 3-4, 2027 night. On this night,
the moon will be 13% full.Next Peak night-Apr 22-23, 2027
Lyrids-Next
period of activity: April 14th, 2027 to April 30th, 2027-The Lyrids are
a medium strength shower that usually produces good rates for three
nights centered on the maximum. These meteors also usually lack
persistent trains but can produce fireballs. These meteors are best seen
from the Northern Hemisphere where the radiant is high in the sky at
dawn. Activity from this shower can be seen from the Southern
Hemisphere, but at a lower rate. In 2027, maximum activity is predicted
to occur at 1:41 UT on April 23rd. On this date the moon will be three
days past its full phase, so conditions will be poor if you try to
observe this activity.Shower details - Radiant: 18:04 +34° - ZHR: 18 -
Velocity: 30 miles/sec (medium - 49km/sec) - Parent Object: C/1861 G1

night. On this night, the moon will be 95% full.Next Peak night-May 5-6,
2027
eta Aquariids-Next period of activity: April 19th, 2027 to May 28th, 2027
The
eta Aquariids are a strong shower when viewed from the southern
tropics. From the equator northward, they usually only produce medium
rates of 10-30 per hour just before dawn. Activity is good for a week
centered the night of maximum activity. These are swift meteors that
produce a high percentage of persistent trains, but few fireballs. In
2027, maximum activity coincides with a new moon, so circumstances are
favorable for viewing this shower.Shower details - Radiant: 22:32 -1° -
ZHR: 50 - Velocity: 40.7 miles/sec (swift - 65.4km/sec) - Parent Object:
1P/Halley-Next Peak - The eta Aquariids will next peak on the May 5-6,
2027 night. On this night, the moon will be 0% full.
CERN did
not permanently close or shut down. On June 29, 2026, the European
Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) turned off the Large Hadron
Collider (LHC) near Geneva, Switzerland, to begin a planned four-year
maintenance and upgrade period known as Long Shutdown 3 (LS3).The
Upgrade PlanThe 27-kilometer (17-mile) underground ring is offline until
2030.Workers will replace 1.2 kilometers of components with advanced
equipment.The goal is to transform the machine into the High-Luminosity
LHC (HiLumi LHC).The new setup will increase particle collision rates by
up to 10 times.Ongoing Work and ResearchThousands of engineers and
technicians will upgrade the detectors, including ATLAS and
CMS.Physicists will continue to analyze vast amounts of data already
collected from past runs.Gradual restarts for parts of the accelerator
complex are planned to begin around 2028.
CERN bids farewell to
the LHC and enters Long Shutdown 3-The Large Hadron Collider is
embarking on its most ambitious upgrade yet—29 June, 2026
The LHC
is currently shut down. Teams will now dismantle 1.2 kilometres of the
accelerator to install the new HiLumi LHC equipment.Today, the Large
Hadron Collider (LHC), the world’s most powerful particle accelerator,
comes to the end of an extraordinary chapter in its scientific journey.
Following its final physics run, the accelerator has been switched off
to begin CERN’s Long Shutdown 3 (LS3), a major programme of maintenance,
consolidation, upgrades and installation work that will prepare the
Laboratory for the High-Luminosity LHC (HiLumi LHC), the next phase in
the exploration of the fundamental laws of nature.Since circulating its
first beams in September 2008, the LHC has pushed the frontiers of
science and technology, becoming one of the most ambitious scientific
instruments ever built. The accelerator delivered its first proton
collisions in 2009 and rapidly established itself as a unique discovery
machine – across three operational periods (Runs 1–3), the LHC delivered
unprecedented quantities of data to its experiments. The LHC’s most
celebrated achievement came on 4 July 2012, when the ATLAS and CMS
Collaborations announced the discovery of the Higgs boson, confirming a
mechanism proposed nearly half a century earlier. In the years that
followed, the LHC enabled hundreds of major advances, including the
discovery of more than 85 hadrons, the setting of exclusion limits on
the discovery of new particles, searches into the imbalance between
matter and antimatter, exploration of the nature of the quark–gluon
plasma, and measurements with important implications for astrophysics.
Beyond its scientific output, the LHC drove innovation in accelerator
science, superconducting technologies, computing and international
collaboration.As the accelerator enters a new phase, CERN celebrates not
only the discoveries made, but also the global community that made them
possible.“The LHC has exceeded every expectation,” said Oliver Brüning,
CERN Director for Accelerators and Technology. “For nearly two decades,
it has transformed our understanding of the Universe and inspired
generations of scientists, engineers and citizens around the world.
Today we say goodbye to the LHC as we have known it, while preparing to
welcome its successor: the HiLumi LHC, which will extend this scientific
adventure far into the future.”The HiLumi LHC, scheduled to begin
operation in 2030, will increase the collider’s luminosity by a factor
of up to ten beyond its original design. This will allow researchers to
collect vastly larger datasets, enabling precision studies of the Higgs
boson and enhancing the potential to uncover phenomena beyond the
Standard Model.LS3 marks the most extensive intervention on CERN’s
accelerator complex since the construction of the LHC itself. Between
now and 2030, the shutdown will involve thousands of specialists from
CERN and partner institutes worldwide, who will transform the LHC, the
injectors and their experiments into their HiLumi versions, and carry
out essential renovation projects across the entire accelerator complex
and experimental facilities: from the consolidation of the Super Proton
Synchrotron (SPS) North Area, the dismantling of the CERN Neutrinos to
Gran Sasso (CNGS) target area and the transformation of the Experimental
Cavern North 3 (ECN3) into a high-intensity fixed-target facility, to
the renovation of the ISOLDE facility and the consolidation of the
personnel safety systems, electrical network and technical
galleries.“The LS3 represents a huge and complex logistical and
engineering undertaking,” says Jean-Philippe Tock, Head of the LS3
Coordination Team. “In the LHC alone, 1.2 km of magnets and components
will be removed and replaced with new equipment, and across the whole
complex, dozens of projects are planned, involving thousands of
engineers, physicists, technicians and support personnel.” In the LHC
caverns, the ATLAS and CMS experiments will undergo extensive upgrades,
effectively becoming renewed detectors. To fully exploit the
unprecedented performance of the HiLumi LHC, they will need to cope with
between 140 and 200 proton–proton collisions in every bunch crossing,
compared to around 60 during the last LHC run. This means identifying
and selecting the most interesting collisions from more than five
billion interactions every second. To meet this challenge, both
experiments will completely replace their trigger systems, which are
responsible for selecting the most promising events for further
analysis. These events will be recorded using advanced new detector
technologies, including all-silicon tracking systems with billions of
readout channels (far more than in the current detectors),
high-precision timing detectors with resolutions of a few tens of
picoseconds, and new calorimeter systems capable of operating at
megahertz rates.While no particle beams will circulate during this
period, CERN’s scientific activity will remain intense. Thousands of
researchers will continue analysing the vast datasets accumulated during
the LHC era, extracting new physics results while simultaneously
preparing the experiments for the challenges ahead.When the accelerator
complex gradually restarts, from 2028, it will inaugurate a new era for
high-energy physics. Building on the legacy of the LHC, the HiLumi LHC
will provide unprecedented opportunities to deepen our understanding of
the Universe and explore some of the most fundamental questions in
science.

operation is a reminder of the wealth of physics that can be performed
with CERN’s accelerator complex. Even as the LHC is being prepared for
its next chapter, the injectors are still supporting today’s physics
programme, delivering beams to experiments that study antimatter,
nuclear reactions, detector technologies, neutrino and astroparticle
physics and many other areas of research at the frontiers of science.
HiRadMat
rounds off its beam year-Alongside the standard operation of the LHC
injectors, this week marks the final run of the year for the High
Radiation to Materials facility (HiRadMat). This facility provides teams
to test materials and equipment using intense beam pulses delivered by
the SPS, reproducing the demanding conditions that accelerator
components may face during operation.This final run includes a
particularly important experiment for the CERN accelerator complex: a
systematic study of a wide range of materials, including both
well-established materials and others never before used as beam
monitors. By determining their failure thresholds and characterising
their behaviour under intense beam exposure, researchers aim to improve
the reliability and robustness of beam monitoring throughout the
accelerator chain.The study addresses a significant gap in the existing
scientific literature and will provide valuable knowledge for the
operation and design of present and future high-intensity accelerators.
It is also a unique experiment that can only be performed using the SPS
and the exceptional capabilities of the HiRadMat facility.Machine
development: fine-tuning today, preparing for tomorrow-A busy machine
development (MD) programme will also be running throughout the year.
During MD periods, accelerator experts step away from routine beam
delivery to optimise machine processes, perform special measurements,
explore new beams and test new operational methods. These studies are
where many future capabilities first take shape before becoming part of
standard operation.One recent focus has been the future SPS Beam Dump
Facility (BDF) which is being prepared within the HI-ECN3 project to
serve a new general-purpose experiment, the Search for Hidden Particles,
or SHiP. SHiP is designed to search for feebly interacting, long-lived
particles predicted by many hidden sector models. Such particles could
help explain open questions including dark matter, neutrino oscillations
and the origin of the matter-antimatter asymmetry in the Universe.To
maximise SHiP’s physics reach and to make comprehensive searches at the
MeV to GeV scale across many orders of magnitude in coupling, the SPS
will need to operate at its intensity limit. The goal is to produce as
many high-energy proton interactions as possible in the beam dump, which
serves as the BDF production target.During recent weeks, SPS MD studies
have tested prototypes of the future BDF production target installed in
the TCC2 target cavern of the North Area. The most recent tests
demonstrated the successful cooling of a tungsten target with gaseous
helium while it was exposed to the impact of the 400 GeV/c proton
beam.The intensity limit of the SHiP beam has also been explored
further. A new cycle was commissioned at a new working point to
stabilise the machine tune below the half-integer. This mode inherently
stabilises the rigid bunch motion induced by resistive-wall wake fields,
relaxing the stability requirements and allowing the maximum intensity
to be pushed to a record 5.4 x 10^13 protons per cycle at 400 GeV/c (see
Figure 1). The achieved transmission from SPS injection to flat-top was
around 90%. The increased intensity could provide additional
flexibility in future proton-sharing scenarios with SHiP
operation.Figure 1 – SHiP cycle intensity in the SPS from injection to
flat-top at 400 GeV/c: red, below half-integer; blue, above
half-integer; black, beam rigidity.The 2026 MD programme has also
investigated the future SHiP production supercycle in the SPS. In
parallel, it demonstrated the use of new crystal technology to reduce
beam loss on the SPS slow-extraction septa by more than a factor of four
for future high-intensity operation of the North Area.This approach
uses a specially designed goniometer that supports several crystals
aligned with one another. The array repeatedly exploits the
volume-reflection process in each crystal, an arrangement known as a
multi-crystal volume-reflection array, or MVRA. The MVRA provides
coherent and efficient deflection of protons that would otherwise hit
the blade of the electrostatic septum and activate equipment in the SPS
extraction straight section LSS2. Instead, these protons are steered
towards the production targets of the North Area.Next up: ions for the
North Area-The next major operational milestone is already close. In the
middle of next week, the North Area is scheduled to begin its
ion-physics programme, bringing lead beams to experiment users and
opening another important chapter in this year’s accelerator
schedule.So, while the LHC is in shutdown, CERN’s accelerator complex
continues to do what it does best: deliver beams for today’s science,
test the technologies needed for tomorrow and prepare new ways to
explore the fundamental structure of the Universe.

Means of implementation and the Global Partnership
60.
We reaffirm our strong commitment to the full implementation of this
new Agenda. We recognize that we will not be able to achieve our
ambitious Goals and targets without a revitalized and enhanced Global
Partnership and comparably ambitious means of implementation. The
revitalized Global Partnership will facilitate an intensive global
engagement in support of implementation of all the goals and targets,
bringing together Governments, civil society, the private sector, the
United Nations system and other actors and mobilizing all available
resources.
61. The Agenda’s Goals and targets deal with the means
required to realise our collective ambitions. The means of
implementation targets under each SDG and Goal 17, which are referred to
above, are key to realising our Agenda and are of equal importance with
the other Goals and targets. We shall accord them equal priority in our
implementation efforts and in the global indicator framework for
monitoring our progress.
62. This Agenda, including the SDGs, can
be met within the framework of a revitalized global partnership for
sustainable development, supported by the concrete policies and actions
outlined in the Addis Ababa Action Agenda , which is an integral part of
the 2030 Agenda for sustainable development. The Addis Ababa Action
Agenda supports, complements and helps contextualize the 2030 Agenda’s
means of implementation targets. These relate to domestic public
resources, domestic and international private business and finance,
international development cooperation, international trade as an engine
for development, debt and debt sustainability, addressing systemic
issues and science, technology, innovation and capacity-building, and
data, monitoring and follow-up.
63. Cohesive nationally owned
sustainable development strategies, supported by integrated national
financing frameworks, will be at the heart of our efforts. We reiterate
that each country has primary responsibility for its own economic and
social development and that the role of national policies and
development strategies cannot be overemphasized. We will respect each
country’s policy space and leadership to implement policies for poverty
eradication and sustainable development, while remaining consistent with
relevant international rules and commitments. At the same time,
national development efforts need to be supported by an enabling
international economic environment, including coherent and mutually
supporting world trade, monetary and financial systems, and strengthened
and enhanced global economic governance. Processes to develop and
facilitate the availability of appropriate knowledge and technologies
globally, as well as capacity-building, are also critical. We commit to
pursuing policy coherence and an enabling environment for sustainable
development at all levels and by all actors, and to reinvigorating the
global partnership for sustainable development.
64. We support
the implementation of relevant strategies and programmes of action,
including the Istanbul Declaration and Programme of Action, the SIDS
Accelerated Modalities of Action (SAMOA) Pathway, the Vienna Programme
of Action for Landlocked Developing Countries for the Decade 2014-2024,
and reaffirm the importance of supporting the African Union’s Agenda
2063 and the programme of the New Partnership for Africa’s Development
(NEPAD), all of which are integral to the new Agenda. We recognize the
major challenge to the achievement of durable peace and sustainable
development in countries in conflict and post-conflict situations.
65.
We recognize that middle-income countries still face significant
challenges to achieve sustainable development. In order to ensure that
achievements made to date are sustained, efforts to address ongoing
challenges should be strengthened through the exchange of experiences,
improved coordination, and better and focused support of the United
Nations Development System, the international financial institutions,
regional organizations and other stakeholders.
66. We underscore
that, for all countries, public policies and the mobilization and
effective use of domestic resources, underscored by the principle of
national ownership, are central to our common pursuit of sustainable
development, including achieving the sustainable development goals. We
recognize that domestic resources are first and foremost generated by
economic growth, supported by an enabling environment at all levels.
67.
Private business activity, investment and innovation are major drivers
of productivity, inclusive economic growth and job creation. We
acknowledge the diversity of the private sector, ranging from
micro-enterprises to cooperatives to multinationals. We call on all
businesses to apply their creativity and innovation to solving
sustainable development challenges. We will foster a dynamic and
well-functioning business sector, while protecting labour rights and
environmental and health standards in accordance with relevant
international standards and agreements and other on-going initiatives in
this regard, such as the Guiding Principles on Business and Human
Rights and the labour standards of ILO, the Convention on the Rights of
the Child and key multilateral environmental agreements, for parties to
those agreements.
68. International trade is an engine for
inclusive economic growth and poverty reduction, and contributes to the
promotion of sustainable development. We will continue to promote a
universal, rules-based, open, transparent, predictable, inclusive,
non-discriminatory and equitable multilateral trading system under the
World Trade Organization (WTO), as well as meaningful trade
liberalization. We call on all WTO members to redouble their efforts to
promptly conclude the negotiations on the Doha Development Agenda. We
attach great importance to providing trade-related capacity-building for
developing countries, including African countries, least-developed
countries, landlocked developing countries, small island developing
states and middle-income countries, including for the promotion of
regional economic integration and interconnectivity.
69. We
recognize the need to assist developing countries in attaining long-term
debt sustainability through coordinated policies aimed at fostering
debt financing, debt relief, debt restructuring and sound debt
management, as appropriate. Many countries remain vulnerable to debt
crises and some are in the midst of crises, including a number of least
developed countries, small-island developing States and some developed
countries. We reiterate that debtors and creditors must work together to
prevent and resolve unsustainable debt situations. Maintaining
sustainable debt levels is the responsibility of the borrowing
countries; however we acknowledge that lenders also have a
responsibility to lend in a way that does not undermine a country’s debt
sustainability. We will support the maintenance of debt sustainability
of those countries that have received debt relief and achieved
sustainable debt levels.
70. We hereby launch a Technology
Facilitation Mechanism which was established by the Addis Ababa Action
Agenda in order to support the sustainable development goals. The
Technology Facilitation Mechanism will be based on a multi-stakeholder
collaboration between Member States, civil society, private sector,
scientific community, United Nations entities and other stakeholders and
will be composed of: a United Nations Interagency Task Team on Science,
Technology and Innovation for the SDGs, a collaborative
Multistakeholder Forum on Science, Technology and Innovation for the
SDGs and an on-line platform.
• The United Nations Interagency
Task Team on Science, Technology and Innovation for the SDGs will
promote coordination, coherence, and cooperation within the UN System on
STI related matters, enhancing synergy and efficiency, in particular to
enhance capacity-building initiatives. The Task Team will draw on
existing resources and will work with 10 representatives from the civil
society, private sector, the scientific community, to prepare the
meetings of the Multistakeholder Forum on Science, Technology and
Innovation for the SDGs, as well as in the development and
operationalization of the on-line platform, including preparing
proposals for the modalities for the Forum and the on-line platform. The
10 representatives will be appointed by the Secretary General, for
periods of two years. The Task Team will be open to the participation of
all UN agencies, funds and programmes, and ECOSOC functional
commissions and it will initially be composed by the entities that
currently integrate the informal working group on technology
facilitation, namely: UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs,
United Nations Environment Programme, UNIDO, United Nations Educational
Scientific and Cultural Organization, UNCTAD, International
Telecommunication Union, WIPO and the World Bank.
• The on-line
platform will be used to establish a comprehensive mapping of, and serve
as a gateway for, information on existing STI initiatives, mechanisms
and programmes, within and beyond the UN. The on-line platform will
facilitate access to information, knowledge and experience, as well as
best practices and lessons learned, on STI facilitation initiatives and
policies. The online platform will also facilitate the dissemination of
relevant open access scientific publications generated worldwide. The
on-line platform will be developed on the basis of an independent
technical assessment which will take into account best practices and
lessons learned from other initiatives, within and beyond the United
Nations, in order to ensure that it will complement, facilitate access
to and provide adequate information on existing STI platforms, avoiding
duplications and enhancing synergies.
• The Multi-stakeholder Forum
on Science Technology and Innovation for the SDGs will be convened once a
year, for a period of two days, to discuss STI cooperation around
thematic areas for the implementation of the SDGs, congregating all
relevant stakeholders to actively contribute in their area of expertise.
The Forum will provide a venue for facilitating interaction,
matchmaking and the establishment of networks between relevant
stakeholders and multi- stakeholder partnerships in order to identify
and examine technology needs and gaps, including on scientific
cooperation, innovation and capacity building, and also in order to help
facilitate development, transfer and dissemination of relevant
technologies for the SDGs. The meetings of the Forum will be convened by
the President of the ECOSOC before the meeting of the High Level
Political Forum under the auspices of ECOSOC or, alternatively, in
conjunction with other fora or conferences, as appropriate, taking into
account the theme to be considered and on the basis of a collaboration
with the organizers of the other fora or conference. The meetings of the
Forum will be co-chaired by two Member States and will result in a
summary of discussions elaborated by the two co-chairs, as an input to
the meetings of the High Level Political Forum, in the context of the
follow-up and review of the implementation of the Post-2015 Development
Agenda.
• The meetings of the HLPF will be informed by the summary of
the Multistakeholder Forum. The themes for the subsequent
Multistakeholder Forum on Science Technology and Innovation for the SDGs
will be considered by the High Level Political Forum on sustainable
development, taking into account expert inputs from the Task Team.
71.
We reiterate that this Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals and
targets, including the means of implementation are universal,
indivisible and interlinked.
