As we recognize the extraordinary deeds of aid workers around the world on World Humanitarian Day, we need to acknowledge that things have never been harder in our business. Having spent almost 40 years working on international relief and development, I can say that the confluence of challenges before us is unprecedented: more people displaced, more dangerous non-state actors, and less consensus among the international community for how to deal with it all.
We will take an important step forward this autumn, when world leaders sign on to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), an ambitious 15-year, 17-point agenda that seeks to achieve global food security, combat climate change and end extreme poverty.
But the humanitarian community and the people we serve need the SDGs to do more. The goals are necessary for promoting good development, but not sufficient in making durable progress on the world’s greatest challenges. Our progress towards critical global goals such as eradicating extreme poverty will likely be undermined if world leaders fail to focus on the most chronic sources of misery and underdevelopment: fragile states and fragile geographies.
