Deep transformations needed to achieve sustainable development goals
"The Sustainable Development Goals and the
Paris Agreement on Climate Change call for deep transformations that require complementary actions by governments, civil society, science, and business.
IIASA contributed to a new study outlining
six major transformations that will be required to achieve these ambitious goals.
The
UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) focus on
time-bound targets for prosperity, people, planet, peace, and partnership—
collectively known as the five Ps.
By adopting the
2030 Agenda with its 17 SDGs and the Paris Climate Agreement, UN member states effectively created a framework for national action and
global cooperation on sustainable development, while the Paris Agreement committed signatory countries to
achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by the middle of the century.
...Building on previous work by The World in 2050—a global research initiative established by IIASA—the authors of the study published in the journal Nature Sustainability propose six transformations to organize SDG
interventions through a semi-modular action agenda that can be designed by
discrete, yet interacting, parts of government.
...The 2030 Agenda and the Paris Agreement have
given the world an aspirational narrative and an actionable agenda to achieve a just, safe, and sustainable future for all within planetary boundaries.
The six transformations provide an
integrated and holistic framework for action that reduces the complexity, yet encompasses the 17 SDGs, their 169 targets, and the Paris Agreement.
They provide a new approach
to shift from incremental to transformational change; to identify synergies using sustainable development pathways;
formulate actionable roadmaps; and a
focus on inter-relationships to uncover multiple benefits and synergies,"...
...In their paper the researchers considered which
key interventions would be necessary to achieve the SDG outcomes...
...Each SDG transformation describes a
major change in societal structure (economic, political, technological, and social) to achieve long-term sustainable development, while also each contributing to multiple SDGs.
Excluding any of them would make it virtually impossible to achieve the SDGs..."
