![]() ![]() Presenting highlights regarding Goal 6 from the Secretary-General’s report on progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals (document E/2023/64), Daniel Eshetie, Statistics Division of the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs, reported that between 20, global access to safe drinking water increased from 69 per cent to 73 per cent, while access to sanitation services rose from 49 per cent to 57 per cent. Wealthy countries - whose economies are supported by small island developing States - have an obligation to help build their capacity. More debt is not the answer, he asserted, noting that these States need debt forgiveness and restructuring. “Change is possible,” he declared, pointing to the synthesis report on Goal 6 (clean water and sanitation), which describes good examples of countries that are making progress, like Burkina Faso, Cambodia, Rwanda, Chile and Croatia.Īlso delivering a keynote address on small island developing States’ resilience, Gaston Browne, Prime Minister of Antigua and Barbuda and Co-Chair of the High-Level Panel of the Multidimensional Vulnerability Index, said small island developing States are “literally drowning in debt” and the global financial system is not the life jacket that it pretends to be. Recalling the positive energy generated by the almost 10,000 participants of the recent United Nations 2023 Water Conference, he said it delivered a concrete result in the shape of the Water Action Agenda, with more than 800 commitments with game-changing potential. “Water is a connector, linking many sectors and all aspects of life,” said Jaap Slootmaker, Vice Minister for Infrastructure and Water Management of the Netherlands, in his keynote address. Particular emphasis will be placed on trends and policies related to Sustainable Development Goal 6 (clean water and sanitation) Goal 7 (affordable and clean energy) Goal 9 (industry, innovation and infrastructure) Goal 11 (sustainable cities and communities) and Goal 17 (partnerships for the Goals and their linkages to other Goals). SG will comeback as I believe WG will be forced to do so if tensions get worse.Against the backdrop of intensifying climate change, conflicts and loss of biodiversity, the world is experiencing a water crisis, and small island developing States’ resiliency is profoundly impeded by extreme weather events and mounting debt, making achieving the Sustainable Development Goals more challenging than ever, speakers stressed, as the high-level political forum on sustainable development - held under the auspices of the Economic and Social Council - continued its discussion today.Ĭonvened under the theme “Accelerating the recovery from the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and the full implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development at all levels”, the forum - which runs until 20 July - will explore policies and transformations needed to overcome the multiple crises that continue to threaten decades of progress made in development around the world. The behaviour seen when SG came online maxed out at 3.5k pop which killed the Aus pop and slightly reduced HK numbers, so the demand is there. SG is already there and was operating during their Art of Strategy mode briefly, so just a matter for them to switch it on. Aus population of up to 800players max and sometimes less In my Opinion which a lot of the Oceania and SEA agree with is to shutdown Aus and reopen SG. There is more redundancy now as 3 submarine cables running through the Java sea (4th one coming soon) linking Aus/NZ to Singapore directly which is stable providing ping of 50-100ms from AUS and 110-130ms from NZ. SG was the best place as it was central to South East Asia and a main hub for cables to route to where more players had stable access. Its shame though since the connection quality to HK is very poor not helped by poor routing and capacity especially when the server gets around 6-10k. Ģnd cable to SG is in now, so they could move back - except HK is super cheap and SG is almost the most expensive server sites in the world. We didn't ask for the main server to be moved 80ms further away. We literally could not play at all if the sharks attacked.Ĭheaper to run a small server in ANZ and move main server to HK than run in SG regardless of cable sharks. You misunderstand - the SG server cost, and lost revenue from cable sharks was the reason. ![]()
