The study finds research showing that protagonists are indeed heavily spread throughout the Internet. There is a growing body of knowledge about how terrorists use cyberspace. Less clear, however, is the impact of this use, and even more opaque is the extent to which counter-measures are effective. This emerges from reviewing more than 550 published studies from scientific and “grey literature”, covering titles in English (260), French (196) and Arabic (96) languages. The study concludes that research is still at a budding stage, and it urges caution about the results and their interpretations. It further confirms a recent UN observation that “The role of the Internet in the radicalization of vulnerable individuals to commit acts of violence, along with other factors, needs further research”. The case for upscaled and improved research is strong. Major issues are at stake – not only the basic right of people to be free from the threat of violence, but also the key freedoms of expression, privacy, and participation which can become victims of counter-measures. In the absence of knowledge derived from quality research, it follows that policy will be condemned to be reactive and assumption-driven. If stakeholders are to properly address the wider problem of violent radicalization and the role of the Internet therein, a big research push will be needed.

With the adoption of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable development, which includes a set of 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGS) to end poverty, fight inequality and injustice, and tackle climate change by 2030,Arab countries are now expected to implement these goals and report on their performance within this new framework. The post 2015 international development agenda is set to deal with the unfinished business of the Millennium development Goals (MDGS) and to address the unacceptable and unsustainable levels of injustice and exploitation. Under the moto of “the road to dignity by 2030: ending poverty, transforming all lives and protecting the planet», the SDGS will be especially relevant for a region that has witnessed tremendous progress, but has suffered from drawback in the past few year, as a result of increasing violence and conflict. New research has emphasized the grievances and difficulties women pass through in times of hardship, especially since the Arab women continue to be the main caretaker of the children and families. In acknowledgement of women’s status globally, their historic contribution to their societies, and the structural issues of the system that continue to affect their lives and expectation, a stand-alone goal (Goal5) aiming to “achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls” was agreed upon, in addition to growing a consensus of mainstreaming gender equality into the set of seventeen goals to be endorsed in a few months ‘time.

This review is the result of Brazil’s first systematic effort to evaluate the fulfillment of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. It is also an exercise of accountability, first and foremost before the Brazilian society, as regards our Government’s measures towards a more prosperous and fair Country, with opportunities for all - including for future generations. In implementing the Sustainable Development Goals, we respond faithfully to this spirit of listening and building together. In order to materialize the 2030 Agenda, the Brazilian government has adopted a participatory model, which benefits from contributions from the municipal, state and federal levels, as well as from varied social segments. Given the comprehensive and multidisciplinary nature of the 2030 Agenda, it could not be any different. This document also comprises an assessment of the challenges we still face in our struggle to eradicate poverty. It is, therefore, a working tool for all those dedicated to the cause of the 2030 Agenda.

We hope that the bold and colorful design will inspire and help carry the promise of a better world forward. The main purpose of the communication system is to spread awareness of the 17 goals, but in order to activate the Goals, it is essential that we understand the all-important 169 targets connected to them. They are the working mechanisms of the goals. They make up a list of our challenges ahead and should inspire to new thinking, creativity and innovation. They also helps the educational aspect of the goals by creating a better understanding of the bigger picture.
