Official Declaration

In 2015, all members of the United Nations (UN) adopted the UN Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development (Agenda 2030) which sets out 17 Sustainable Development Goals to be achieved by 2030. Malaysia also welcomes and accepts them. Accordingly, this article discusses the comparative application of SDG elements in the Tenth Malaysia Plan (RMK-10, 2011-2015) and Eleventh (RMK-11, 2016-2020). Although the RMK-10 plan was planned before the formal introduction of the SDGs, apparently Malaysia has already taken steps to implement the elements introduced in the SDGs in 2015 and implemented them successfully. This article then discusses the RMK-11 plan which formally adapts the SDG elements. However, the achievement of RMK-11 was quite affected in the later part as Malaysia was hit by the Covid-19 pandemic in early 2020. This article uses a qualitative method with reference to official government publications and reports, online newspaper articles, books, and journal articles. This study found that the SDG elements were implemented earlier than the official declaration by the UN in 2015, but after 2015 they were compiled more systematically in the RMK-11 plan.

Zero Hunger

The United Nations Agenda 2030 contains 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs). These goals are formulated in anthropocentric terms, meaning that they are to be achieved for the sake of humans. As such, the SDGs are neglecting the interests and welfare of non-human animals. Our aim in this paper was to ethically evaluate the assumptions that underlie the current anthropocentric stance of the SDGs. We argue that there are no good reasons to uphold these assumptions, and that the SDGs should therefore be reconsidered so that they take non-human animals into direct consideration. This has some interesting implications for how we should understand and fulfil the pursuit of sustainability in general. Most noticeably, several SDGs—such as those regarding zero hunger (SDG 2), good health and wellbeing (SDG 3), clean water and sanitation (SDG 6)—should be achieved for animals as well. Moreover, the measures we undertake in order to achieve the SDGs for humans must also take into direct account their effects on non-human animals.

The global framework set forth by the United Nations 2030 Agenda and its Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) include water resources in their scope, which emphasizes how water assets and society well-being are closely intertwined and how crucial they are to achieving sustainable development. This paper explores the role of hydropolitics in that Post-2015 Development Agenda and uses Brazilian hydropolitics set to reach SDG6 as a case study.

ZusammenfassungSeit dem im Jahre 2019 beschlossenen Kohleausstieg ist die Lausitz als eine der drei bundesrepublikanischen Kohlereviere ins Bewusstsein einer breiteren Öffentlichkeit gerückt. Es handelt sich um eine Region, die sich nach dem dreißigjährigen Transformationsprozess im Zuge des Einheitsprozesses dadurch erneut in einem tiefgreifenden Strukturwandel befindet. Der Beitrag geht auf Basis einer qualitativen Inhaltsanalyse von Positionspapieren verschiedener Lausitzer Akteur*innengruppen aus Politik, Wirtschaft und Zivilgesellschaft der Frage nach, wie sich in diesen Stellungnahmen Forderungen und Zielvorstellungen eines sozialökologischen Wandlungsprozesses abbilden. Als Kategoriensystem wird auf die 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) der von der Bundesrepublik unterzeichneten AGENDA 2030 der United Nations (UN) zurückgegriffen, die mit den fünf Kernbotschaften People, Prosperity, Planet, Partnership und Peace ein Programm zur ökonomischen, ökologischen und sozialen Nachhaltigkeit im Sinne eines integrativen Nachhaltigkeitskonzepts entwickelt hat. Das empirische Vorgehen verfolgt ein doppeltes Ziel: Es werden die Gemeinsamkeiten zwischen den Perspektiven der Lausitzer Positionspapiere und den 17 SDGs herausgearbeitet, sodass auf dieser Basis das Profilbild eines möglichen Lausitzer Transformationsprozesses entlang der AGENDA 2030 entsteht. Zum anderen wird die Bedeutung der Sozialen Arbeit innerhalb dieses Profilbilds ausgelotet und im Anschluss diskutiert, welche Potenziale die Nachhaltigkeitsorientierung der 17 SDGs für die Soziale Arbeit hat.

This chapter focuses on sustainable development, part of Agenda 2030 of the United Nations.

This agenda is now the focal point of technical assistance and development programmes around the world and, crucially, applies to all States, irrespective of their state of development.

This article examines how a right to health, expressed as a minimum core obligation under international law, can be advanced within the constitutional framework of Bangladesh. Reinforcing this right is important within the post-2015 Development Agenda under the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Drawing upon examples of other jurisdictions to develop minimum core obligations of a right to health, it is argued that courts have a key role to play in actively enforcing a right to health to benefit poor, vulnerable and marginalised people. This article proposes that judicial adherence through interpretation of domestic and international law may provide the best mechanism to promote a right to health as a minimum core obligation in Bangladesh.

Abstract The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (Agenda 2030) encompasses social, economic, and environmental commitments within a single global framework. However, experts have been warning that the ambitious nature of Agenda 2030’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDG s) might be lost in indicator-driven implementation. This article examines the assumption that SDG indicators result in policy shrinking (offering a less ambitious framing) by exploring how the framing of Agenda 2030’s gender commitments shifts from SDG s to their indicators. Employing critical frame analysis, this article shows that SDG global indicators result in policy shrinking of gender-specific targets in terms of their 1) human rights framing 2) overall scope, and 3) inclusivity of target groups. This policy shrinking does not necessarily undermine Agenda 2030, but it does call for greater attention, especially by actors promoting gender equality, to national interpretations of specific SDG targets and the inclusivity of otherwise marginalized policy target groups.

Die Ausrichtung von Unternehmen an den konkreten Teilzielen der Sustainable Development Goals der Vereinten Nationen gilt als state of the art der verantwortungsvollen Unternehmensführung. Die Beschäftigung mit den Nachhaltigkeitszielen der Vereinten Nationen birgt für Unternehmen eine große Chance zur innovativen nachhaltigkeitsfokussierten Differenzierung. In kleineren und mittleren Unternehmen erscheint die Beschäftigung mit den SDGs als Kraftakt, der mit einer hohen Ressourcenbindung einhergeht. So gilt es vor allem für diese Unternehmen, einen gleichermaßen pragmatischen wie professionellen eigenen Weg zur glaubwürdigen Annäherung an die Agenda 2030 zu finden und damit die Unternehmenskultur innovativ und sinnzentriert auf messbare Verantwortungselemente auszurichten. Der vorliegende Artikel zeigt beispielhaft auf, wie die erfolgsorientierte Fokussierung auf die SDGs in einfachen Schritten glaubwürdig zu meistern ist. The orientation of companies to the concrete objectives of the United Nations´ Sustainable Development Goals is considered to be state of the art of responsible and sustainable management. The discussion of the United Nations sustainability goals is a great opportunity for companies to differentiate their business model in an innovative, sustainable and responsible way. In small and medium-sized enterprises, employment with the SDG seems to be a major strain with high levels of resource retention. In particular, it is therefore important for these companies to find an equally pragmatic and professional way to a credible approach to the Agenda 2030, thus making the corporate culture innovative and sense-centered on measurable elements of responsibility with the SDG in mind. This article shows an example of how meaningful, profitable and successoriented focus on the SDG can be mastered credibly in simple steps.
