SDGs need sustainable delivery mechanisms

Though not uttered pointedly, what the world leaders declared from New York is a manifesto for resettling the human race in a global village with a shared destiny. The dreamland would be devoid of poverty and hunger, inequality and environmental degradation. It'll be, in essence, an egalitarian society for all in this planet. Nations, sub-nations, humanity at large are being boarded on the same boat in the journey towards that destination, with the United Nations at the helm of affairs.  
The universal charter entitled 'Transforming Our World: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development' was adopted unanimously on September 25, 2015 at the outset of the UN-hosted three-day Sustainable Development Summit. Three years of groundwork had been done in the backdrop to build up such unqualified consensus of 193 countries.
It, practically, came out as a unity of opposites in the so-long disparate world having principally two socio-economic systems-capitalist and socialist. The United States of America is the citadel of the former while China champions the latter with a form of socialism adoptive to the prevailing global milieu. And Russia, by and large, is allied with China.
This essentially marks a new joint journey of nations in the new millennium. In such a historic context, building a new, sustainable global order is the paramount challenge of the day before humanity. Envisioning and devising a sustainable global development agenda is a crucial task only befitting fecund brains. But the euphoria that emblazoned the adoption of SDGs may hit hard realities and shed much of its glow when it comes to country-specific execution. A failure on the reform task may breed chaos far more serious than what humanity now confronts
Many things, theories, thoughts and systems of the good old days prove unsustainable in this brave new world. One classic example is the overrunning of sovereign borders by throngs of people displaced by wars, ethnic cleansing, civil strife, or pangs of poverty.
In the wake of such unforeseen developments, including the crux stemming from the proxy wars in the Muslim world, the UN agencies concerned look to be at their wit's end. And with these new realities in the world arena, many of which are of fundamental importance to humanity at large, the global body hosted the 'Sustainable Development Summit' of world leaders on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly to frame the next development recipe for the world community.
A moot question now stirs many minds: how a sustainable universal development agenda can be executed by a guardian body of nations born out of old-day realities after the world war in the past century.
There has been lot of critical appreciation of the role of the United Nations, specifically in handling the situations in the Middle East and in Afghanistan and Pakistan wherefrom these new realities are evolving. A recast of the world body to suit the present context has long been sought by many member-countries. Bangladesh is among the proponents. Actually, a global summit should convene to update the UN as a sustainable body in the fast-changing world scene. A failure on this task may breed far more serious chaos.
