SDG Agenda 2030

fepa is committed to and within the framework of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (Agenda2030; SDG). These goals do not only concern the South, where we contribute to the achievement of various goals through our partnership projects. In Switzerland, too, there are important levers for sustainable development at the global level: in climate protection, we must not continue our hit-and-run. And in matters of tax avoidance and investment policy, our domestic, economic and location policies must analyse the impact on sustainability – taking into account that people in the global South have rights that must determine our actions.

The role of civil society

The Sustainable Development Goals envisage an active role for civil society. Indeed, it is impossible to imagine how sustainable development would be possible without the participation of civil society. It is all the more worrying when the space for civil society engagement is restricted. That is why fepa is committed to civil society in the countries where we are active.
