The article aims to incorporate criteria on the technology used in the reporting system, specifically in collecting the different types of data and generating other interfaces. The scientific community and various organisations are working on obtaining an information system that will make it possible to offer the necessary value to this type of sustainability information.
In a second step, we present the eleven contributions that make up the thematic issue clustering them around three themes: integration, governance challenges, and implementation.Ĭurrently, the concern for achieving and fulfilling the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is a constant in advanced societies. In this editorial, we first introduce the 2030 Agenda and the SDGs by providing an overview of the architecture of the agenda and the key challenges of the current implementation phase. This thematic issue addresses the question whether and how the SDGs set off processes of societal transformation, for which cooperation between state and non-state actors at all political levels (global, regional, national, sub-national), in different societal spheres (politics, society, and economy), and across various sectors (energy, transportation, food, etc.) are indispensable.
The main challenge is accomplishing a more integrated approach to sustainableĭevelopment that encompasses new governance frameworks for enabling and managing systemic transformations. Implementing the SDGs as an ‘indivisible whole’ represents the actual litmus test for the success of the 2030 Agenda. The agenda acknowledges that different issues such as poverty, hunger, health, education, gender equality, environmental degradation, among others, are intertwined and can therefore only be addressed together. The 2030 Agenda of the United Nations comprises 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and 169 sub-targets which serve as a global reference point for the transition to sustainability.
