Palau actively participated in formulating the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Accordingly, Palau welcomes the Voluntary National Review (VNR) process as an opportunity to reflect on achievements and acknowledge vulnerabilities while accelerating progress toward a global development paradigm characterized by resilience, sustainability, and equity – an Era of Sustainable Development. Palau’s sustainable development lies at the intersection of four interlocking pillars – people, prosperity, planet, and partnerships. In the People Pillar (SDGs 2, 3, 4, 11) Palau envisages happy, healthy, and purposeful lives supported by the Prosperity Pillar (SDGs 1, 8, 9, 10) characterized by equitable, inclusive, and sustainable growth in harmony with nature – the Planet Pillar (SDGs 6, 7, 12, 13, 14, 15). The fourth pillar, Partnerships and Governance (SDGs 5, 16, 17) reflects the interdependence of all pillars and the continuing need for effective governance and partnerships both domestic and international. Along the path to 2030, Palau identifies challenges in closing gaps, improving quality, and enhancing resilience – especially climate resilience
