Universal consensus on reproductive healthcare (SDG 3.7) --- Dear Katharina, the intercultural ecumenical dialogue that I have recommended can lead the world nations to universal consensus, even on controversial issues such as reproductive healthcare. So, my take is that it is not impossible to achieve universal consensus. But for that to happen, the UN needs to be empowered to appoint intercultural and inter-religious mediators to work in those countries that do not accept to change their stances. If I was the UN Secretary-General, I would identify and appoint Special Envoys to deliver that, working tirelessly with cultural and religious leaders within those countries.
