Al adoptar la Agenda 2030 y sus Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible los Estados asumieron la necesidad de superar las estructuras de trabajo en compartimentos estancos para poder cumplir los compromisos allí asumidos. Este trabajo pretende analizar la posibilidad real de pasar de un esquema de implementación en el que el pensamiento fragmentado dé lugar a la transversalidad. Para ello se realiza un estudio cualitativo basado en el enfoque decolonial sobre la forma en que se construyó la lógica de pensamiento fragmentado como parte de la modernidad, para luego analizar la institucionalidad estatal creada por Argentina, Colombia y Chile orientada a implementar la Agenda 2030 desde la óptica de la transversalización de visiones. La conclusión principal es que estamos aún lejos de poder trabajar en esquemas verdaderamente integrados y que, para hacerlo, el cambio debería ser realmente de fondo y transformacional.

This publication aims to inform the debate on the status of food security in Arab countries, and provide policy options for enhancing food security in the future, in line with the overarching directions of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Given the heterogeneity of the Arab region, both in terms of natural endowment, particularly in water resources, and economic capabilities, the report's analysis divides the region into four subregions, each consisting of a more homogeneous group of countries. This report provides a broad overview of food security in the Arab region, including the availability, access and utilization of food. Elements of stability come into play in discussing all three of these dimensions. The report also includes in-depth analysis of selected thematic issues, namely agriculture, international food trade, and food loss and waste. Using the Aglink-Cosimo model, a section is devoted to discussing likely future projections, if the region continues on its present course, and the potential impacts of actions to increase crop yields, shift to healthier consumption patterns, or establish and maintain strategic food stocks. On the basis of the report's analysis, a set of key findings, as well as general and specific policy recommendations, are highlighted in the final section.

Nuestra discusión pretende analizar los retos conceptuales que se esconden detrás del paradigma de la sostenibilidad, para entender más adelante en nuestro análisis el compromiso jurídico efectivo de la UE a la hora de implementar las políticas de desarrollo sostenible y las medidas legales que le siguen, que serían difíciles de entender sino se acude a las pautas de desarrollo sostenible que ha lanzado la gobernanza global. Para ello, nuestro prisma analítico tocará los límites del tan mencionado ―en los últimos años―derecho global. Las medidas legislativas de la UE en el campo de la "sostenibilidad" sólo pueden entenderse a la luz del paralelo esfuerzo de determinación de conceptos, categorías y principios básicos que los acuerdos internacionales, en aras del desarrollo de un principio de justicia intergeneracional y desde la óptica del cambio climático, han impulsado. Con independencia de la dificultad que comporta la inexistencia de consenso sobre el significado de la expresión "desarrollo sostenible", partimos de la base que el TFUE y el TUE nos dan las pautas para una interpretación de un modelo conceptual de desarrollo sostenible, como nos lo dio en su día el Informe Brundtland. Podemos afirmar que Europa cuenta hoy con un acquis communautaire de sostenibilidad que ya es innegable. ; This article seeks to analyze the conceptual challenges embedded in the global legal system's sustainability paradigm. Our discussion focuses on the European Union's legal commitment for the implementation of sustainable development policies. It would be difficult to understand it without paying attention to the global context and the sustainable development guidelines under the so called "global governance". To do this, we have set up an analytical framework that assesses the parameters of global law —a pivotal reference in legal discourse in recent years. EU legislation within the field of "sustainability" can only be understood in light of the parallel effort, via international agreements, for the definition of concepts, categories and basic principles upon which we can ultimately formulate an intergenerational justice principle. Furthermore, as proposed by the Brundtland Report, despite the difficulties arising from the lack of consensus on the meaning of "sustainable development", the TFEU and the TEU provide guidelines for a stronger interpretation of a conceptual model of sustainable development. In this way, it is possible to argue that Europe has now an undeniable sustainability acquis communautaire.

This paper examines the political and security challenges and prospects of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) in the coming two decades. To simplify what is a hugely complex and wide-ranging set of issues, I divide the security challenges facing ASEAN into six broad categories. These include (1) the shifting balance of power in the Asia Pacific region, triggered mainly, if not exclusively, by the dramatic rise of the People's Republic of China (PRC); (2) the persistence of intra-ASEAN territorial conflicts; (3) the territorial dispute in the South China Sea, which is a critical factor in PRC-ASEAN relations; (4) the programs of military modernizations undertaken by ASEAN states and the resulting prospects for an intra-ASEAN arms race; (5) uncertainty and strife caused by demands for domestic political change; (6) and the dangers posed by transnational (non-traditional) security threats. I argue that ASEAN faces major hurdles in realizing a mature political-security community, where intra-ASEAN tensions are significantly managed and reduced to the point where war becomes 'unthinkable' and a deep and genuine sense of regional community emerges. While recent steps undertaken by ASEAN are bold and far-reaching, realizing them would depend on several factors, especially the maintenance of its unity and cohesion in the face of a rising PRC, the ability to resolve regional disputes, complying with the provisions and instruments of the ASEAN Charter and the Political-Security Community Blueprint, and ensuring an agenda-setting and managerial role in the wider East Asian and Asia-Pacific multilateralism.

Das 21. Jahrhundert ist durch multiple Herausforderungen geprägt, die es zu bewältigen gilt, wenn zukünftige Generationen ein Leben in Wohlstand auf dieser Erde führen wollen. Doch wie am Beispiel der Agenda 2030 deutlich wird, ist der Umsetzungsstand im Hinblick auf eine sozial-ökologische Transformation bisher unzureichend. Die Geographie kann hier einen enormen Beitrag leisten, der bisher in wissenschaftlichen, politischen und gesellschaftlichen Debatten kaum berücksichtigt wurde. Jonas Birke zeigt auf, wie geographisches Wissen durch eine holistische Sichtweise sowie eine starke Nähe zu alltäglichen Themen dazu beitragen kann, gesellschaftliches Handeln im Nachhaltigkeitskontext zu fördern und notwendige Veränderungen anzustoßen

The capabilities, efficiency and effectiveness of the outcomes of the African Regional Forum on Sustainable Development demands a lot of analytical work from an African perspective towards its commitment on achieving the Sustainable Development Goals in the 2020-2030 decade. This paper provides an analytical framework questioning the forum`s outcomes and the African capabilities. The framework interrogates the feasibility of the approaches of the forum used as alternatives towards the achievement of the 17 sustainable development goals, 169 targets and 304 indicators. The analysis is made together with the outlook of the African aspirations as defined in the Agenda 2063. An analytical framework based on advocacy research and desk review of literature available was used. The framework provided a balanced analysis of both the progress made so far and the challenges that Africa is facing today. Africa does not have effective strategies that make her ready to meet the sustainable development goals by 2030. Africa is recommended to prioritise on investment, build strong partnerships and coalitions as a critical discernment of the different African initiatives propagated through the 2030 Agenda and 2063 Agenda.

"The year 2018 marks the 15th anniversary of the establishment of ASEAN-China Strategic Partnership. Both ASEAN and China expect to seize this opportunity to take ASEAN-China strategic partnership to a new level. This book assesses ASEAN-China Strategic Partnership in the past 15 years by taking stock of the implementation of existing ASEAN-China cooperation frameworks, mechanisms and programs; defines overall goals and guiding principles of the ASEAN-China Strategic Partnership toward the end of 2030; sets specific targets, to be reached in 2030, for political and security cooperation, economic cooperation, and people-to-people exchanges between ASEAN and China and recommends concrete and practical measures (including short-term, mid-term and long-term measures) to deepen and widen future cooperation; and offers strategies for the 2030 Vision to be aligned with the ASEAN Community Vision 2025 and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development in the three pillars of ASEAN-China cooperation. This book is a collection of conference papers and summary report of the Network of ASEAN-China Think-tanks (NACT) Special Working Group Meeting held in Beijing, China on 26 January 2018. Themed "2030 Vision for ASEAN-China Strategic Partnership" (2030 Vision), the meeting reviewed the past 15 years of ASEAN-China strategic partnership and discussed the reports on the 2030 Vision submitted by leading think tanks of all ASEAN member states and China. The Network of ASEAN-China Think-tanks (NACT) was proposed by Chinese Premier Li Keqiang in 2013 to contribute scholarly work to the "diamond decade" of China-ASEAN strategic partnership and to build a China-ASEAN community of shared future. It was officially launched in 2014. So far, a three-level working mechanism (including Country Coordinators' Meeting, Working Group Meeting and Annual Seminar) has been built, and a regional network of think-tanks has been formed. As a regular and institutionalized platform for think-tanks cooperation, NACT serves to promote joint studies on ASEAN-China relations, strengthen people-to-people ties and become a significant supplement to Track I diplomacy."--Publisher's website

In the recent G-20 meeting held in New Delhi under the Indian presidency, the world leaders raised concerns over the fulfilment of the Agenda 2030 as the global progress on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is unsatisfactory. The members expressed a dire need to put collective efforts to fully and effectively implement the 2030 Agenda for a greener planet and to lessen the socioeconomic divides among the developed and developing countries. The ray of hope for a sustainable and carbon-neutral world rests in the actions of G-20 nations.

The Agenda 2030 sets the goal of building peaceful, just societies - but how to get there? More and more socio-political questions are being addressed to academia, and this is a chance for peace research to get involved and create impact. Especially the concept of positive peace is an issue of growing interest because of the global need to find new ways of living together in increasingly diverse societies. Yet, there is no elaborated paradigm of positive peace that could serve as a reference point for interdisciplinary research and communication as well as for the communication between academia, politics and society. In order to contribute to an integrative development of positive peace, existing paradigmatic positions are examined. Because they mostly deal with ontological and axiological aspects, the transformative and the narrative paradigm are suggested as suitable supplements concerning methodology and epistemology. Furthermore, indications are given on what to consider as a researcher in interdisciplinary and normative research settings in order to meet social responsibility. ; La Agenda 2030 tiene por meta construir sociedades pacíficas y justas pero, ¿cómo conseguirlo? Cada vez hay más cuestiones sociopolíticas dirigidas al mundo académico, lo que da una oportunidad para que la investigación para la paz contribuya y genere impacto. Especialmente, el concepto de paz positiva es un tema de creciente interés debido a la necesidad de encontrar nuevas formas de convivencia en sociedades cada vez más diversas. Sin embargo, no existe un paradigma articulado de paz positiva que pueda servir como punto de referencia para la investigación y comunicación interdisciplinaria, así como para la comunicación entre el mundo académico, político y la sociedad. Para contribuir a un desarrollo integrador de la paz positiva, se examinan las posiciones paradigmáticas existentes. Como en su mayoría éstas se ocupan de aspectos ontológicos y axiológicos, se sugiere el paradigma transformador y el paradigma narrativo como complementos adecuados respecto a la metodología y la epistemología. Además, se dan indicaciones sobre lo que debe considerar un investigador como marcos de investigación interdisciplinarios y normativos para cumplir así con la responsabilidad social. ; A Agenda 2030 estabelece o objectivo de construir sociedades pacíficas e justas - mas como lá chegar?

Parallel zur damaligen wirtschaftspolitischen Lissabon-Strategie definierte die Europäische Union (EU) 2001 in einer europäischen Nachhaltigkeitsstrategie (im Folgenden: ENS) Ziele für eine nachhaltige Entwicklung, insbesondere in den Bereichen Klimaschutz, Verkehr, Gesundheit, Armutsbekämpfung und Biodiversität. Diese Strategie wurde 2006 grundlegend überarbeitet und 2009 zum letzten Mal überprüft. Seitdem liegt sie mehr oder weniger brach, und ihre Ziele sind inzwischen teilweise veraltet. Regelmäßige Monitoringberichte legen offen, dass die Ziele bisher nicht erreicht wurden, und verdeutlichen, dass die zentralen Herausforderungen, die 2006 benannt wurden, weiterhin von hoher und sogar steigender Relevanz sind. Die Verabschiedung der Agenda 2030 und ihrer globalen Nachhaltigkeitsziele (Sustainable Development Goals - SDGs) soll die dringend diskutierte Neuauflage der ENS sowie ihre Umsetzung auf EU-Ebene vorantreiben. Doch noch sind mehrere Fragen offen: Welchen Handlungsspielraum gibt es für eine Überarbeitung der ENS? Wie kann die Agenda 2030 für nachhaltige Entwicklung, welche die Vereinten Nationen im Herbst 2015 verabschiedete, in der europäischen Politik umgesetzt werden? Welche Maßnahmen sind dafür zielführend? Vor diesem Hintergrund greift dieses Projekt Vorschläge und Impulse aus Wissenschaft, Zivilgesellschaft und Mitgliedstaaten auf und identifiziert Themenbereiche, die für eine Neuauflage der ENS unter Berücksichtigung ihrer SDGs von besonderer Bedeutung sind. Weiterhin analysieren die Auftragnehmer wissenschaftlich, inwiefern bestehende Strategien und Instrumente auf EU-Ebene die SDGs bereits erfassen, und identifizieren sowohl Lücken in Bezug auf die Umsetzung der SDGs als auch Handlungsbedarfe auf EU-Ebene, die sich aus der letzten Überprüfung der ENS und den aktuellen Monitoringberichten ergeben.

El lema «Que nadie se quede atrás» resume el concepto de desarrollo sostenible e inclusivo que integra la visión de la Agenda 2030. Localizar y llevar al territorio los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS) es una tarea prioritaria y a la vez compleja, la cual se ha ido afrontando por cada país con más o menos éxito, y donde el adecuado diseño de los principales instrumentos de planificación local es pieza clave en este proceso de territorialización. Bajo una metodología de elaboración propia, se conceptualizan los planes como diseños de políticas (policy designs) y se analizan en tres municipios de Boyacá (Colombia), en el período 2016-2022. La reflexión crítica asociada y los hallazgos dan cuenta de una gran dificultad de asumir la Agenda 2030 dentro del contenido de los planes, así como la persistencia de grandes retos estructurales pendientes de solucionar, lo que deja entrever que queda mucho camino por recorrer.

Production and consumption are both monitored in the context of progress toward a circular economy and sustainable development. In each case, the number and types of the implemented indicators are different. Thus, it is reasonable to ask about the comparability of information produced by two composite measures for equivalent research subjects: production and consumption. This is a thematic area of the EU Action Plan for the Circular Economy, as well as for responsible consumption and production, which is the 12th goal of the UN Agenda 2030. To scrutinize this problem in the European Union, this research aims to test statistically the similarity between the production and consumption composite indicators (based on Circular Economy Action Plan measures), and the responsible consumption and production composite indicators (based on the UN Agenda 2030 measures). The thesis that the application of the composite indicators generates significantly different results is not proved.
