Submission to UNODA call for papers on ‘the impact of the global increase in military expenditure on the achievement of the SDGs’

In response to a call by the UN General Assembly last September, and the Pact for the Future, the UN Secretary General was asked to garner more information on the impact of the increase in military spending on the SDGs. Our submission, ‘Robbing Peter to Pay Paul: SDGs vs Rising Military Expenditures’ includes recommendations include practical routes to both reducing and redirecting military spending in favour of people and planet.
