What changed between the plenary report and the adopted text

Changed:E. whereas, looking beyond the SDG financing gap, growing inequalities within and between countries are the main structural obstacle to achieving the SDGs; whereas current global consumption levels are equivalent to 1.81,8 planets worth of resources per year, and current EU consumption levels to 3 planets worth of resources per year;

Changed:H. whereas access to safe and clean drinking water and sanitation is a human right, as recognised by UN General Assembly Resolution 64/292; whereas around 2.22,2 billion people, including 600 million children, still lack access to safely managed drinking water, 3.53,5 billion people, including 1.11,1 billion children, lack access to safely managed sanitation, and about 4 billion people experience severe water scarcity for at least one month a year; whereas nearly three quarters of the world’s population live in countries classified as water insecure or critically water insecure; whereas, in the EU, economic losses from water scarcity total up to EUR 9 billion annually, affecting 30 % of Europeans and 20 % of land each year;

Changed:R. whereas roughly 1.181,18 billion people globally are considered energy poor, including the 685 million people who lack access to electricity; whereas energy poverty undermines service delivery, economic recovery and peacebuilding; whereas sustainable energy is a transformative opportunity to improve resilience, reduce conflict, support displaced populations and reduce reliance on volatile supplies;

Changed:V. whereas the EU and its Member States are the leading donors of official development assistance (ODA) globally; whereas, although the EU and its Member States have collectively committed to providing 0.70,7 % of gross national income (GNI) as ODA, they cut their ODA commitments from 0.530,53 % in 2023 to 0.470,47 % in 2024; whereas the EU has set the collective target of providing 0.20,2 % of GNI as ODA to least developed countries, but in 2023 such ODA amounted to 0.120,12 % of GNI; whereas least developed countries are disproportionately affected by this historic reduction in funding;

Changed:13. Expresses deep concern that, according to the UN, around 3.53,5 billion people still lack safely managed sanitation services, while 1.71,7 billion lack even basic services; highlights the fact that water security, and particularly access to clean water and sanitation, have a significant impact on economic stability, climate resilience and peace; notes, in that regard, that water security is an integral part of peacebuilding processes; calls for the EU to strengthen its external investments in water and sanitation access and to enhance its leadership in cooperative management in water governance in fragile and conflict-affected contexts as a means to support stability, peacebuilding, resilience and climate adaptation; calls, furthermore, on parties to conflict not to target water and energy infrastructure, in line with their obligations under international law;

Changed:55. Expresses alarm about the annual investment gap of approximately USD 4 trillion worth of funding needed to achieve the SDGs, which is further exacerbated by declining ODA levels; urges the EU and the Member States to strive to ensure that sufficient financing is dedicated to fulfilling the commitment to spend 0.70,7 % of GNI on ODA and to provide 0.20,2 % of GNI as ODA to the least developed countries;
