Given this, the first reform that I would suggest is an increase in funding, with high-income countries contributing at least $40 per capita annually, upper middle-income countries giving $8, lower-middle-income countries $2, and low-income countries $1. With these contributions – which amount to roughly 0.1% of the group’s average per capita income – the UN would have about $75 billion annually with which to strengthen the quality and reach of vital programs, beginning with those needed to achieve the SDGs.
有鉴于此，我所提议的第一项改革就是增加资金，高收入国家每人每年至少贡献40美元，中高收入国家8美元、中低收入国家2美元，低收入国家1美元。凭借这些资金——约占联合国成员国人均收入的0.1%——联合国每年将可筹集到750亿美元，从实现可持续发展目标所需的计划开始，强化重要项目的覆盖范围和质量。一旦世界走上实现可持续发展目标的正轨，冲突的数量和规模就会减少，自然灾害将得到更好的预测或预防，从而导致维和及紧急救援行动的需求下降。
