进步最可持续发展目标(SDGs) has gone into reverse, according to Jean-Paul Moatti, the director-general of the French National Research Institute for Development (IRD) and a member of the expert group charged by the UN with evaluating progress so far on the objectives.

可持续发展目标是由联合国于2015年9月采用的,呼吁政府and organisations to achieve goals such as ending poverty, eradicating hunger and ensuring everyone has access to clean, affordable18beplay 到2030年。

由15名成员组成的专家小组正在研究四年级的第一期全球可持续发展报告这将为联合国一个关于国家对目标的表现如何,将于今年9月发布。

In an interview withscidev.net3月29日,Moatti说现在是时候发出有关可持续发展目标的警报了,并解释了新兴领域sustainabilityscience could offer a way forward.

How well are we doing against the SDG targets?

对于大多数目标而言,这并不是说我们进展不够快,而是我们倒退了。在某些情况下,它(进度)正在倒退,因为它已经倒退了,目前我们无法扭转趋势,甚至无法减慢恶化的速度。

在某些情况下,我们朝着正确的方向前进,但现在不再了。通常,适应气候变化和缓解气候变化的情况。看来我们朝​​着正确方向前进的原因之一是经济危机。因为我们无法真正使经济增长从其负面的社会和环境影响中脱离,因此一旦经济增长恢复正轨,可持续发展目标就开始向后往后走,这些方向朝着正确的方向停止。beplay足球体育的微博

The three goals which are now clearly identified in the scientific literature as being the ones which – not meaning that the other ones are not important – if we don’t solve these we are going to have problems for the whole agenda, these three goals are the ones that are not going well.

减少不平等(SDG10),对气候变化(SDG13)的限制和适应性以及我们生产和消费方式的环境和生态足迹的减少(SDG 12) - 这些都是我们需要解决的主要目标beplay足球体育的微博如果我们不仅要实现这些目标,还要实现整个议程。在这三个领域,情况是最糟糕的情况之一。所以,是的,我们需要发出警报。

Isn’t this surprising, given the level of commitment you see to the SDGs these days?

这并不奇怪,因为它少于四年(自从可持续发展目标被同意以来),它才刚刚开始。有更多的大学在SGD上进行课程,或者让年轻人在瑞典年轻人(激进主义者格雷塔·敦伯格(Greta Thunberg)开始在2018年8月在瑞典议会外面罢工)。这很困难,但我们可以做到。

“I think the main problem is to increase the capacity of the scientific communities in the South.”

Jean-Paul Moatti, Director-General, IRD

When you have to balance fundamental trends which go back centuries and which are backed by strong economic, social, political interests, it takes time. The situation is critical, but at the same time this urgency should give us a lot of hope because …we know how to do it. We could agree with Barak Obama (who said) “Yes we can!”

我们需要大量的科学论文来帮助我们知道如何使用这种知识库存,如何避免矛盾,以最大程度地提高协同作用。但是,有可能使用现有知识库存以及现有技术,我们可以做到这一点。

We need research on two levels. We need more research to help us implement the current agenda, because we have the stock of knowledge but we don’t know how to best use this stock of knowledge. So we need short-term sustainability science and, even more importantly, we need long-term sustainability science because even if we were able to get there (achieve the SDG goals) in 2030, there would still be a lot of work to make it ok for the next generation.


What’s meant by sustainability science?

The definition of sustainability science is that it is driven by the sustainable development agenda and it starts not from the (scientific) disciplines but from the need to tackle these major problems that the planet and the various populations are facing.
It is an emerging interdisciplinary field. It was started by the National Academy of Sciences in the US in 2001 and the field is growing very, very fast. For example, Nature created Nature Sustainability, the Lancet created Lancet Planetary Health.
即使在核心期刊中,您也有越来越多的论文可以被确定为可持续性科学论文。近几个月来,大多数涉及全球问题以及与自然与科学发表的研究人员的大量研究人员都是可持续性科学论文。

What needs to change to encourage the uptake of sustainability science?

I think it is still underestimated by the mainstream scientific community. We need to have, at various levels, evolutions. The most important evolution is that because we are dealing with global problems with complex causal changes, not all but many important issues have to take into account what happens in the intertropical (areas) and Mediterranean, in the South.
So, I think the main problem is to increase the capacity of scientific communities in the South to produce at international level because as soon as they do it, it makes things easier for sustainability science.
