Progress on most Sustainable Development Goals (可持续发展目标法国国家研究所(IRD)总干事让·莫蒂(Jean-Paul Moatti)表示,联合国国家研究所(IRD)总干事让·莫蒂(Jean-Paul Moatti)表示,联合国指控的专家小组成员迄今为止对目标进行了评估。

The SDGs were adopted by the United Nations in September 2015, and call for政府和组织实现诸如消除贫困,消除饥饿和确保每个人都可以使用清洁,负担得起的目标等目标energy到2030年。

The 15-member expert group is working on the first instalment of a four-yearly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。

在接受采访SciDev.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,并解释了新兴领域可持续性科学可以提供前进的道路。

我们对可持续发展目标目标的情况如何?

For most of the targets it is not that we are not going quickly enough, it is that we are going backwards. In some cases, it (progress) is going backwards because it was already going backwards and for the moment we have not been able to reverse the trend or even to slow down the pace of deterioration.

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.

Reduction of inequalities (SDG10), limitation and adaptation to climate change (SDG13) and reduction of the environmental and ecological footprint of our modes of production and consumption (SDG 12) – these are the key goals, the things that we need to tackle everywhere if we want to not only achieve these goals but the whole agenda. In these three areas, the situation is one of the worst. So, yes, we need to sound the alarm.

鉴于您如今对可持续发展目标的承诺水平,这并不奇怪吗?

It’s not surprising because it is less than four years (since the SDGs were agreed), it has just started. Having more universities doing programmes on the SGDs, or having young people mobilising all over the world following the young Swedish (activist Greta Thunberg who began to strike outside the Swedish parliament in August 2018). It is difficult but we can do it.

“我认为主要问题是提高南方科学社区的能力。”

IRD总监Jean-Paul Moatti

当您必须平衡几个世纪以来的基本趋势,并得到强大的经济,社会,政治利益的支持时,这需要时间。情况至关重要,但与此同时,这种紧迫性应该给我们带来很多希望,因为……我们知道该怎么做。我们可以同意巴拉克·奥巴马(Barak Obama)(谁说)“是的,我们可以!”

We need lots of scientific papers to help us know how to use this stock of knowledge, how to avoid contradictions, to maximise synergies. But potentially with the existing stock of knowledge and with the existing technologies we can do it.

我们需要对两个层次进行研究。我们需要更多的研究来帮助我们实施当前的议程,因为我们拥有知识库存,但我们不知道如何最好地利用这种知识库存。因此,我们需要短期可持续性科学,更重要的是,我们需要长期的可持续发展科学,因为即使我们能够在2030年实现目标(实现可持续发展目标),仍然有很多工作可以做到这一点好的,下一代。


可持续性科学意味着什么?

可持续性科学的定义是,它是由可持续发展议程驱动的,不是从(科学)学科开始的,而是从需要解决地球和各个人口所面临的这些主要问题的必要性。
这是一个新兴的跨学科领域。它是由2001年美国国家科学院启动的,该领域的增长非常非常快。例如,自然创造了自然的可持续性,柳叶刀创造了柳叶刀行星健康。
Even in the core journals you have more and more papers which can be identified as sustainability science papers. Most of the papers dealing with global issues and with big consortiums of researchers published in Nature and Science in recent months are sustainability science papers.

需要改变什么以鼓励对可持续性科学的吸收?

我认为这仍然被主流科学界低估了。我们需要在各个层面上有进化。最重要的进化是,因为我们正在处理复杂的因果变化的全球问题,但并非所有重要的问题都必须考虑到南方的受热带(地区)和地中海中发生的事情。
因此,我认为主要问题是提高南方科学社区在国际水平上生产的能力,因为一旦这样做,它就会使可持续发展科学的事情更容易。
