Abstract:
Responsible Innovation in Health (RIH) represents an emerging Science, Technology and Innovation (STI) approach that could support not only the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) “Good health and well-being” but also other SDGs. Since few studies have conceptualized the relationships between RIH and the SDGs, our goal was to inductively develop a framework to identify knowledge gaps and areas for further reflections. Our exploratory study involved: (1) performing a web-based horizon scanning to identify health innovations with responsibility features; and (2) illustrating through empirical examples how RIH addresses the SDGs. A total of 105 innovations were identified: up to 43% were developed by non-profit organizations, universities or volunteers; 46.7% originated from the United States; and 64.5% targeted countries in Africa, Central and South America and South Asia. These innovations addressed health problems such as newborn care (15.5%), reduced mobility and limb amputation (14.5%), infectious diseases (10.9%), pregnancy and delivery care (9.1%) and proper access to care and drugs (7.3%). Several of these innovations were aligned with SDG10-Reduced inequalities (87%), SDG17-Partnerships for the goals (54%), SDG1-No poverty (15%) and SDG4-Quality education (11%). A smaller number of them addressed sustainable economic development goals such as SDG11-Sustainable cities and communities (9%) and SDG9-Industry and innovation (6%), and environmental sustainability goals such as SDG7-Affordable and clean energy (7%) and SDG6-Clean water and sanitation (5%). Three examples show how RIH combines entrepreneurship and innovation in novel ways to address the determinants of health, thereby contributing to SDG5 (Gender), SDG10 (Inequalities), SDG4 (Education) and SDG8 (Decent work), and indirectly supporting SDG7 (Clean energy) and SDG13 (Climate action). Further research should examine how alternative business models, social enterprises and social finance may support the STI approach behind RIH.

Abstract:
This paper contends that carving out pathways to finance the sustainable development goal (SDG) agenda entails to reconsider tacit assumptions regarding the functioning of financial systems. We first use a history of economic thought perspective to demonstrate the flaws of the loanable fund theory, which has come to underlie SDG finance strategies. We then introduce the alternative endogenous money theory using a consistent theoretical and accounting framework. This allows us to identify and discuss a set of financing mechanisms that would permit to bridge the SDG budget gap. These mechanisms include the issuing of sovereign green bonds, the modification of the European Central Bank’s collateral framework, changes in capital adequacy ratios, a market of SDG lending certificates and the introduction of rediscounting policies. We back up the discussion with examples from economic history.

Abstract:
Access to sufficient amounts of energy is a prerequisite for the development of human well-being. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) recognize the interconnectedness of climate change, energy access and development. However, not all SDG targets are quantified, leaving room for ambiguity in fulfilling, for example, the goal of ensuring access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all (SDG7). We show how specific sustainable development targets for health indicators are strongly correlated with electricity consumption levels in the poorest of countries. Clear thresholds in per capita electricity consumption of a few hundred kWh per year are identified by analyzing SDG indicator data as a function of per capita country electricity consumption. Those thresholds are strongly correlated with meeting of SDG 3 targets-below the identified thresholds, countries do not meet the SDG targets, while above the threshold there is a clear relationship between increasing consumption of electricity and improvement of SDG indicators. Electricity consumption of 400 kWh per capita is significantly higher than projections made by international agencies for future energy access, but only 5%–10% that of OECD countries. At the very least, the presence of thresholds and historical data patterns requires an understanding of how SDG targets would be met in the absence of this threshold level of electricity access.

Abstract:
Sustainable development addresses humanity’s aspiration for a better life while observing the limitations imposed by nature. In 2015, the United Nations General Assembly approved the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) with the aim to foster the organizational operationalization and integration of sustainability and, therefore, to address the current and forthcoming stakeholder needs and ensure a better and sustainable future for all, balancing the economic, social, and environmental development. However, it is not entirely clear which are the mutual relationships among the 17 SDGs and this study aims to tackle this research gap. The results of the correlation confirm that Poverty elimination (SDG1) and Good health and well-being (SDG3) have synergetic relationships with most of the other goals. SDG7 (Affordable and clean energy) has significant relationships with other SDGs (e.g., SDG1 (No poverty), SDG2 (Zero hunger), SDG3 (Good health and well-being), SDG8 (Decent work and economic growth), SDG13 (Climate action)). However, there is a moderate negative correlation with SDG12 (Responsible consumption and production), which emphasizes the need to improve energy efficiency, increase the share of clean and renewable energies and improve sustainable consumption patterns worldwide. There is also confirmation that SDG12 (Responsible consumption and production) is the goal strongly associated with trade-offs. To sum up, this research suggests that change towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals offers many opportunities for reinforcing rather than inhibiting itself. However, some SDGs show no significant correlation with other SDGs (e.g., SDG13 (Climate action) and SDG17 (Partnerships for the goals), which highlights the need for future research.

Abstract:
Abstract The UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a vision for achieving a sustainable future. Reliable, timely, comprehensive, and consistent data are critical for measuring progress towards, and ultimately achieving, the SDGs. Data from citizen science represent one new source of data that could be used for SDG reporting and monitoring. However, information is still lacking regarding the current and potential contributions of citizen science to the SDG indicator framework. Through a systematic review of the metadata and work plans of the 244 SDG indicators, as well as the identification of past and ongoing citizen science initiatives that could directly or indirectly provide data for these indicators, this paper presents an overview of where citizen science is already contributing and could contribute data to the SDG indicator framework. The results demonstrate that citizen science is “already contributing” to the monitoring of 5 SDG indicators, and that citizen science “could contribute” to 76 indicators, which, together, equates to around 33%. Our analysis also shows that the greatest inputs from citizen science to the SDG framework relate to SDG 15 Life on Land, SDG 11 Sustainable Cities and Communities, SDG 3 Good Health and Wellbeing, and SDG 6 Clean Water and Sanitation. Realizing the full potential of citizen science requires demonstrating its value in the global data ecosystem, building partnerships around citizen science data to accelerate SDG progress, and leveraging investments to enhance its use and impact.

Aquaculture based on environmentally friendly practices is the best alternative for building a better world when it comes to the production of food of animal origin. The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) of the United Nations (UN) reinforce and direct this new form of farming. Scientists and farmers are concerned with maintaining stocks and sources of natural resources for the next generations, as well as for the maintenance of life on earth. In this perspective, this work brings together the 17 SDG around aquaculture. It briefly presents how we can apply them to make aquaculture better, more sustainable and productive.

Abstract:
In 2015, about 190 United Nations Member States proposed an ambitious agenda, to be worked on by different actors in society, which was entitled 2030 Agenda. The document was divided into 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which are broken down into 169 targets aiming to eradicate poverty and promote a decent life for all. This study aimed to evaluate the perception of healthcare managers about SDGs, especially SDG 3, which addresses Good Health and Well-Being. This cross-sectional observational study identified and analyzed the participants’ profilesthrough online forms with questions about the general perception of the SDGs, and questions related to SDG 3. The quantitative analysis of the results was performed, in percentage terms, and the qualitative analysis was performed using the five-point Likert scale. Twenty-one technical directors of healthcare services participated in the survey. According to the results, 14 (66.6)  of the participants presented medium to highknowledge regarding SDG. In addition, 18 (85.7%) of these professionals understand that the SDGs are of high/very high importance to guide public policies. In general, there is a low expectation for the achievement of the 17 SDGs in Brazil, but it was highlighted that it should be a priority, which SDG could contribute to the achievement of SDG 3: Good Health and well-being as well as the vision of policy recommendations to achieve the SDG 3 targets. This analysis allows contact with SDG and enables a deeper discussion on the topic in healthcare services.

Abstract:
A methodology for UN Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) attainment prediction is presented, the Sustainable Development Goals Correlation Attainment Predictions Extended framework SDG-CAP-EXT. Unlike previous SDG attainment methodologies, SDG-CAP-EXT takes into account the potential for a causal relationship between SDG indicators both with respect to the geographic entity under consideration (intra-entity) and neighbouring geographic entities to the current entity (inter-entity). The challenge is in the discovery of such causal relationships. A ensemble approach is presented that combines the results of a number of alternative causality relationship identification mechanisms. The identified relationships are used to build multi-variate time series prediction models that feed into a bottom-up SDG prediction taxonomy, which is used to make SDG attainment predictions and rank countries using a proposed Attainment Likelihood Index that reflects the likelihood of goal attainment. The framework is fully described and evaluated. The evaluation demonstrates that the SDG-CAP-EXT framework can produce better predictions than alternative models that do not consider the potential for intra- and inter-causal relationships.

Abstract:
Sustainable Development and Decision Making are just two of the many processes that affect the industry sector. SDG7, SDG8, SDG9 and SDG 12 as four goals of sustainable development show the indicators we have to deal with, given that the energy, industry, economy and production are closely connected. This research focuses on promoting sustainable development in the industry, by testing very important indicators using the MCDM method. Our analysis was carried out with the help of a multi-criteria decision-making method - the Hierarchical Analytical Process. Through this method, we have identified specific areas that need improvement, the importance of the indicators separately, ranking so by their importance and impact in the industry, economy and production.

Abstract:
In September 2015, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which includes 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Like the previous Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), the SDGs are global goals, which potentially risk shifting attention and resources away from national development priorities. This article is based on a qualitative study that examined whether the UN’s global health goal—SDG 3—is overriding local health priorities in Kenya. The study found that (a) SDG 3 aligns in many ways with Kenya’s development and health policies, and (b) Kenya is implementing SDG 3 targets selectively. This article, therefore, contends that SDG 3 is not overriding Kenya’s local health priorities.

Abstract:
The aim of this qualitative interpretive study is to look into SDG implementation in Sweden from a governance for sustainable development perspective. This research is to be seen as a first attempt at mapping the state of governance for sustainable development in relation to SDG implementation in Sweden – further research is both necessary and welcomed in order to get a complete picture of the situation. Seven key components of governance for sustainable development developed by Gibson et al. (2005) are used as a theoretical framework for the study. Those key components are; policy integration; shared sustainability objectives; sustainability based criteria for planning and approval of significant undertakings; specified rules for managing trade-offs and compromises; widely accepted indicators of needs for action and progress towards sustainability; information and incentives for practical implementation, and; programmes for system innovation. Previous research as well as reports from organizations such as the OECD and the European Commission have been used to evaluate the state of these components in Sweden, primarily from an environmental sustainability perspective. Conclusions reached include that the main components relevant for Swedish implementation of the SDGs are: policy integration, shared sustainability objectives and widely accepted indicators for needs for action and progress towards sustainable development. Another conclusion drawn is that the level of fulfillment in some of these key components does not necessarily correspond with the likelihood of successful SDG implementation. Further research is being suggested for   a governance-related mapping of the social and economic pillars of sustainable development. Together with the environmental pillar they are essential for the holistic approach that sustainable development deserves.

Abstract:
The global sustainable development has been marked by the United Nations plans for more than two decades. These plans have been adopted by most of the developed and developing countries to achieve the 2030 Agenda, currently formed by the 17 Sustainable Development Goals. Governments and policy-makers cannot make conscious decisions regarding sustainability progress without knowledge about how well the country is performing this path. This study assessed the evolution of each SDG in Spain through their indicators and whether correlation and dependency between the stated targets exist. Goals 1, 2, 6, 8 and 11 were the less evolved, those which were undergoing a slower process or a negative evolution over the years. The correlation analysis delivered a quick guide of relationships amidst targets to help the appropriate ministries to make prompt decisions knowing which fields will be affected largely. Goal 3 (Good health and well-being) was strongly linked with indicators from Goal 4 (Quality education) and also Goal 6 (Clean water and sanitation). Furthermore, indicators from Goal 7 (Affordable and clean energy) shared a high correlation with the ones from Goal 12 (Responsible consumption and production) and Goal 15 (Life on land). All together obtained 60% share of positive interactions and almost 80% of significant interplays between the targets. Correlation does not imply causality, so multiple linear regression analysis set true numerical relationships and revealed how to enhance certain targets by leveraging others. Less developed indicator was taken as dependent variables and the final independent ones were defined using shrinkage methods. The procedure to reach these expressions could be used to establish the dependency between other relevant indicators and getting the assessment of the performance of this country afterwards.
Den globala hållbara utvecklingen har präglats av FN:s planer i mer än två decennier. Dessa planer har antagits av de flesta av de utvecklade länderna och utvecklingsländerna för att uppnå agenda 2030, som för närvarande bildas av de 17 globala målen för hållbar utveckling (SDG). Regeringar och beslutsfattare kan inte fatta medvetna beslut om hållbarhetsframsteg utan kunskap om hur väl landet presterar denna väg. Denna studie undersökte utvecklingen av varje SDG i Spanien genom deras indikatorer och huruvida korrelation och beroende finns mellan de angivna målen. Mål 1, 2, 6, 8 och 11 var de mindre utvecklade. De genomgick en långsammare process eller hade negativ utveckling under åren. Korrelationsanalysen levererade en snabb guide över relationer förhållandet bland mål för att hjälpa de berörda ministerierna att fatta snabba beslut om att veta vilka områden som i hög grad kommer att påverkas. Mål 3 (God hälsa och välbefinnande) var starkt kopplat till indikatorer från mål 4 (Kvalitetsutbildning) och även mål 6 (Rent vatten och sanitet). Dessutom hade indikatorer från mål 7 (prisvärd och ren energi) en hög korrelation med indikatorer från mål 12 (Ansvarsfull konsumtion och produktion) och mål 15 (Liv på land). Tillsammans erhöll 60% positiva interaktioner och nästan 80% betydande samspel mellan målen. Korrelation innebär inte orsakssamband, så flera linjära regressionsanalyser satte riktiga numeriska förhållanden och avslöjade hur man kan förbättra vissa mål genom att utnyttja andra. Mindre utvecklade indikatorer togs som beroende variabler och de slutliga oberoende variablerna definierades med krympningsmetoder. Tillvägagångssättet för att nå dessa uttryck kan användas för att fastställa beroendet mellan andra relevanta indikatorer och få en utvärdering av landets resultat.

Abstract:
This research looked at external funding and its role in determining the success rate of the developmental agenda at country specific level. To undertake this investigation, the role of external funding was assessed alongside other factors largely viewed to be also relevant in discussing the success of the development agenda. The research relied on primary data collected from various participants deemed to be relevant stakeholders in development studies and its success drivers. The sample comprised bilaterals, multilaterals, aid agencies, private commercial sector, policy makers, regulators and the UN agencies. Extensive research was conducted using semi-structured questionnaires and also supported by interviews to probe further on the key sub-topics. The other factors explored alongside external funding in terms of their significance in influencing outcome of the development agenda are strong financial institutions, strong legal institutions, economic reform, competent human capital and international trade. While the factors linked to governance were ranked highly in terms of significance in driving Zimbabwe’ s achievement of sustainable development goals, the numeric difference on points scored were not materially significant. The research outcome highlighted the interconnectedness of the factors assessed in augmenting the impact of capital inflows in meeting the development agenda. In addition, it exposed the significance of broader stakeholder consultation and commitment at a national level.

Abstract:
Corporate Social Responsibility är ett gemensamt koncept som idag fokuserar på hur organisationer förväntas gå utöver ekonomiska resultat och samklang. Företag väljer att frivilligt tillämpa FN:s Sustainable Development Goals för att upprätthålla hållbarhetsrapporter för att framstå som mer legitima och använda hållbarhetsrapporter som konkurrensfördel. Syftet med studien är att jämföra hållarhetsrapportering av SDG i Volkswagen, Volvo och Peugeot samt jämföra utvecklingen av rapporteringen mellan respektive bilföretag under perioden 2014–2017. För att jämföra SDG-rapporteringen mellan och inom företagen genomfördes en textanalys som sedan kvantifierades. Den teoretiska referensramen utgår från hållbarhetsrapportering, frivillig SDG tillämpning och relevanta teorier. Empirin består av data från textanalysen. Utifrån den insamlade empirin jämfördes utvecklingen som skett mellan år 2014 och 2017. Uppsatsen mynnar ut i en slutsats där företag inom samma bransch tenderar att bli mer likartade för att uppnå legitimitet, vilket kan leda till ett greenwashing-beteende där företag skapar hållbara uttalanden utan verkliga ingripanden. Studien är en grund för fortsatt forskning kring fenomenet greenwashing i bilindustrin och dess SDG-rapportering.
The aim of the study is to study the development of SDG's sustainability reporting in Volkswagen, Volvo and Peugeot, and compare the development of reporting between respective automobile companies during the period 2014-2017. In order to compare the SDG reporting between and within the companies, a text analysis was carried out which was then quantified. The theoretical frame of reference is based on sustainability reporting, voluntary SDG application and relevant theories. The empirical evidence consists of data from the text analysis. Based on the collected empirical data, the development was compared between 2014 and 2017. The paper ends in a conclusion where companies within the same industry tend to be more similar to achieve legitimacy, which might lead to greenwashing behavior in which companies create sustainable statements without real interventions. The study is a basis for continued research on the phenomenon of greenwashing in the automobile industry and its SDG reporting.

Abstract:
The field of International Relations is Western-centric through its main theories, which risks undermining the development of non-Western countries. This thesis aims to implement the alternative analytical, non-Western approach of Global IR through a Comparative Case Study of South Korea and Vietnam to analyse the so-called ‘global’ Sustainable Development Goals through two research questions: How have South Korea and Vietnam managed to fulfil SDG no. 11? and How can Global IR be used to problematise the Westernised and overly universal UN measurement indicators of SDG no. 11 in South Korea and Vietnam? Conclusively, South Korea falls more in line with the Western depiction of development than Vietnam. But Global IR can be used to problematise the UN indicators by arguing historical implications to reach their Western-centric model in non-Western countries and provides indicators that consider countries individualities. This ultimately creates a more global approach, as it acknowledges differences instead of attempting to fit all countries into one specific box of sustainable urban development.

Abstract:
The sustainable development of the section providing financing within Swedish banks are going through major challenges and changes. The United Nations is constantly working on improving sustainable directives within all industries to ultimately reach all 17 sustainable development goals that have been set up for a more sustainable world. Banks are in a unique position where they have a high indirect impact and influence over all other sectors and in relation all 17 sustainable development goals through their business. This can be seen in the two largest sectors within banking, investing and financing. While sustainable investing has been widely researched and developed, sustainable finance can still be considered in an early phase of development. By implementing sustainable factors to the credit management process of borrowers, banks can aid global sustainable development. This thesis has researched the relationship between United Nations’ 17 sustainable development goals and the credit rating of four Swedish commercial banks through. Special focus has been given to borrowers in the manufacturing industry. The results show that Swedish banks have initiated sustainable development within their credit rating analysis; however, they are still undergoing continuous improvements and additions. The process and extent of sustainable factors differentiates for all banks. Nonetheless, no bank has a special framework for measuring sustainable risk in the manufacturing industry. Because of the banks’ general process, this thesis concludes that there are no clear advantages nor disadvantages to being sustainable when applying for a loan from Swedish banks. Even though the banks argue that sustainability is both important and included in the credit rating process, the empirical data gathered suggests that the most important and significant factor remains how financially solvent a company is.
Hållbar utveckling av finansieringsavdelningen inom svenska banker genomgår stora utmaningar och förändringar. FN arbetar ständigt med att förbättra hållbara direktiv inom alla branscher för att i slutändan uppnå alla 17 mål för hållbar utveckling som har fastställts för en mer hållbar värld. Bankerna är i en unik position där de har en hög indirekt påverkan och inflytande över alla andra sektorer och i förhållande till alla 17 mål för hållbar utveckling genom sin verksamhet. Detta kan ses i de två största affärsenheterna inom bank, investeringar och finansiering. Även om hållbara investeringar har varit föremål för forskning och utvecklats i stor utsträckning, kan hållbar finansiering fortfarande sägas vara i en tidig utvecklingsfas. Genom att implementera hållbara faktorer i kredithanterings processen för låntagare kan banken hjälpa till global hållbar utveckling. Denna uppsats har undersökt förhållandet mellan FN:s 17 mål för hållbar utveckling och kreditbetyget för fyra svenska affärsbanker. Särskilt fokus har givits låntagare i tillverkningsindustrin. Resultaten visar att svenska banker har initierat en hållbar utveckling inom sin kreditprocess; emellertid genomgår processen fortfarande kontinuerliga förbättringar och tillägg. Processen och omfattningen av hållbara faktorer skiljer sig åt för alla banker. Ingen bank har dock en särskild rutin för att mäta hållbarhetsrisker i tillverkningsindustrin. På grund av bankernas allmänna process drar vi slutsatsen att det inte finns några tydliga fördelar eller nackdelar med att vara hållbara när de ansöker om ett lån från svenska banker. Även om bankerna hävdar att hållbarhet är både viktig och ingår i kreditprocessen, tyder vår undersökning på att den för företag viktigaste faktorn fortfarande är hur ekonomiskt stabilt ett företag är.

Abstract:
Increased investment in education to build capacity and quality is essential if the world is to meet its ambitious targets on Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4: Quality Education. There are 258 million school aged children out of school, of which 98 million are in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Low-income countries are experiencing dramatic growth in their populations and have severe limitations on their ability to fund the required infrastructure development. The financing gap is estimated to be US$ 1.8 trillion to achieve SDG goals (Education Commission, 2016). Low-Cost Private Schools (LCPS), accessible to children from poor families, are growing rapidly in SSA to fill this gap. This study is focused on the potential to increase the use of innovative financing to improve capacity and quality for LCPSs. Most innovative finance schemes utilise some form of a School Development Loan to achieve greater investment in capacity and quality of education. The study evaluates the effect of School Development Loans on several indicators which have been directly associated with capacity and quality, using data from Ghana and Uganda, countries estimated to need a combined 5 million new seats for children by 2023 (7% of their combined population) to account for population growth. Capacity indicators include the Number of Students enrolled in the school and the Number of Classrooms available for use. The indicators of school quality were Pupil Teacher Ratios (Lower), the Number of Washrooms, the Number of Washrooms Dedicated to Girls and the Number of Extracurricular Programmes Offered by the school. The study leveraged pairwise correlation and regression analysis to identify the most directly linked indicators, followed by a mean difference analysis. The study finds that schools taking out School Development Loans have more classrooms, higher enrolment, greater amounts of washrooms and extracurricular activities on offer, indicating that School Development Loans increase both capacity and quality at LCPSs. Despite the encouraging findings, it is early to assess whether the significance of the increase over time. The study recommends a fully coordinated Randomised Control Trial (RCT) for further research, where data is collected prior to the school receiving its first loan and again at the conclusion of the loan.

Abstract:
This study analyzes and discusses sustainability reporting at Arlacompany which is one of the largest organic dairy producer in the world. Geographically its operations span across Europe, North America, North and West Africa and Asia. This study evaluates the company’s communication of its shared value creation and how it contributes towards the accomplishment of the Sustainable Development Goals. In order to do so, it analyzes two of the company’s annual Corporate Social Responsibility reports (2016 and 2019). A theoretical framework, combining Corporate Social Responsibility, Creating Shared Value, Triple Bottom Line and Legitimacy Theory is synthesized and applied to the subject matter. This research is a holistic single-case study, employing continuous literature review and a qualitative content analysis. The results of the research are presented discussing the merits and shortcomings of the company’s sustainability communication practices. It finds that Arla’ssustainability communication is heavily based on societal and environmental topics. Its main strategies of shared value creation operationalize the expansion and strengthening of markets and product quality assurance. The study also concludes that Arlaavoids the communication of sensitive issues such as animal welfare or greenhouse gas emissions emerging from farms. Finally, the study advocates for the benefits of failure reporting, both in terms of compliance with the Sustainable Development Goals and sustainability practices, arguing that this might lead to greater legitimacy and possible support from other stakeholders.

Abstract:
Die Erreichung der Ziele für nachhaltige Entwicklung (SDGs) erfordert strategische Maßnahmen, deren Identifizierung von anderen abhängt, gesellschaftliches Engagement und soziales Lernen. Das Ziel dieser Arbeit war es, pädagogische Werkzeuge zu entwickeln und pädagogische Prozesse zu verbessern, die das soziale Lernen verbessern, insbesondere im Hinblick auf die Verwirklichung der SDGs 2 und 13. Diese kumulative Dissertation präsentiert vier von Experten begutachtete Artikel. Die Arbeit wurde in drei komplementären methodischen Phasen abgeschlossen. Die wichtigsten Schlussfolgerungen sind wie folgt zusammengefasst: Der konstruktivistische pädagogische Rahmen ist geeignet, ein pädagogisches Instrument zur Verbesserung des sozialen Lernens in SDG-Projekten zu operationalisieren. Dieser Befund trägt nicht nur zu einem besseren Verständnis von Mechanismen bei, die soziales Lernen fördern, sondern stellt auch einen Fortschritt in den theoretischen Verbindungen zwischen sozialem Lernen und den Theorien von Habermas und Freire dar. Der soziale Lernprozess ist nach drei Hauptschritten möglich. Der primäre pädagogische Schritt für soziale Lernprozesse in SDG-Projekten besteht darin, dieses gemeinschaftliche Wissen und mentale Systeme genau zu identifizieren und zu erkennen (Publikation 1 und 2). Der zweite pädagogische Schritt betrifft dann die Entwicklung lokaler Lösungen durch die Mitglieder der Gemeinschaft auf der Grundlage eines kritischen Verständnisses ihrer eigenen Lebensbedingungen (Kodifikations- und Dekodifizierungsprozess, der auf der Transformation von mentalen Schemata) (Publikation 3). Ein dritter Schritt zur Förderung von SDG-Projekten, die soziales Lernen fördern, ist der Vergleich der Wahrnehmungen der Gemeinschaft und der Forschungsexperten zu SDG-Strategien. Dies sind Ergänzungen, um mögliche Auswirkungen von Projektstrategien zu bewerten, die den deliberativen Charakter des sozialen Lernens verbessern (Publikation 4).
Achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) requires taking strategic actions, the identification of which depends, among others, on community engagement, and social learning. The objective of this work was to develop educational tools and improve pedagogical processes that enhance social learning, with particular regard to realizing SDGs 2 and 13 (food security and climate change actions). This cumulative dissertation presents four peer-reviewed articles. The work was completed across three complementary methodological phases, and the field research was embedded in three international projects in Latin America and Africa. The main conclusions are summarized as follows: The constructivist pedagogical frame is appropriate for operationalizing an educational tool to enhance social learning in SDGs projects. This finding not only contributes to better understand the mechanisms that enhance social learning, but also represents an advance in the theoretical links between social learning and the Habermas and Freire theories. The social learning process is possible following three main steps. The primary pedagogical step for social learning processes in SDGs projects is to identify and recognize this community knowledge and mental schemes accurately (article 1 and 2). Then, the second pedagogical step concerns the development of local solutions by community members based on a critical understanding of their own life conditions (Codification and Decodification process based on mental schemes transformation). Therefore, through a process Conscientization, a reframing of the community’s future can be created, potentially increasing ownership (article 3). Finally, a third step to promote SDGs projects enhancing social learning is to compare the perceptions of the community and research experts regarding SDG strategies. These are complements to evaluate potential effects of project strategies enhancing the deliberative character of social learning (article 4).
El logro de los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS) requiere la adopción de acciones estratégicas, cuya identificación depende, entre otras cosas, del compromiso de la comunidad y el aprendizaje social. El objetivo de este trabajo fue desarrollar herramientas educativas y mejorar los procesos pedagógicos que mejoran el aprendizaje social, con especial atención al cumplimiento de los ODS 2 y 13 (acciones de seguridad alimentaria y cambio climático). Esta disertación acumulativa presenta cuatro artículos revisados por pares. El trabajo se completó en tres fases metodológicas complementarias y la investigación de campo se basa en tres proyectos internacionales en América Latina y África. Las principales conclusiones se resumen a continuación: El marco pedagógico constructivista es apropiado para la puesta en práctica de una herramienta educativa para mejorar el aprendizaje social en los proyectos de los ODS. Este hallazgo no solo contribuye a comprender mejor los mecanismos que mejoran el aprendizaje social, sino que también representa un avance en los vínculos teóricos entre el aprendizaje social y las teorías de Habermas y Freire. El proceso de aprendizaje social es posible siguiendo tres pasos principales. El primer paso pedagógico para los procesos de aprendizaje social en los proyectos de los ODS es identificar y reconocer con precisión el conocimiento de la comunidad y los esquemas mentales (artículos 1 y 2). Luego, el segundo paso pedagógico se refiere al desarrollo de soluciones locales por parte de los miembros de la comunidad sobre la base de una comprensión crítica de sus propias condiciones de vida (proceso de Codificación y Decodificación basado en la transformación de esquemas mentales). Por lo tanto, a través de un proceso de Concientización, se puede crear un replanteamiento del futuro de la comunidad, lo que podría aumentar la apropiación (artículo 3). Finalmente, un tercer paso para promover proyectos de ODS que mejoren el aprendizaje social es comparar las percepciones de la comunidad y los expertos en investigación con respecto a las estrategias de los ODS. Estos son complementos para evaluar los efectos potenciales de las estrategias del proyecto que mejoran el carácter deliberativo del aprendizaje social (artículo 4).

Abstract This chapter offers a systematic overview of the strong but currently under-recognized relationship between menstrual health and the main monitoring framework of progress in global development 2015–2030: the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Looking at the overarching principles and intent of the SDG framework, and then goal by goal, the authors draw out particular SDG indicators to explain how monitoring met and unmet needs for menstrual health is essential to planning for SDG success. This chapter then describes some of the major data collection efforts that operate at-scale and could most readily provide new avenues for monitoring progress on menstrual health. The chapter concludes by outlining a way forward to strengthen monitoring and accountability for menstrual health during the SDG era.

Abstract:
To better prepare a new generation of practitioners and thought leaders to meet the complex challenges highlighted in the sustainable development goals (SDGs), innovation is needed in the design and delivery of degree programmes. Gender inclusion and diversity are increasingly recognised as key tenets of Education for Sustainable Development. Energy access education in Africa provides an excellent context in which to explore ways of delivering gender inclusive Masters programmes and the curriculum transformations needed to address the dual challenges of SDG7 (energy access) and SDG 5 (gender equality). This paper explores the evolving context of gender mainstreaming in energy access education at Institutions of Higher Learning (IHLs) in Africa, drawing on a desktop study and interviews with 8 African Universities in the Transforming Energy Access Learning Partnership (TEA-LP). The paper calls for the adoption of a more holistic approach to mainstreaming gender in energy access education at IHLs, encompassing curriculum content, teaching methods, learning environments and the broader institutional enabling environment.

Abstract:
Global development programs from Agenda 21 (1992) to Agenda 2030 (2015) inevitably promote the importance of education for all, ie they call for equality in access to educational resources. Recognizing the reality of the emergence of a growing category of “mobile population” in the world and the challenges of regular and new migration, for the first time the current Agenda emphasizes the commitment to migration. In this context, it is challenging to monitor the links between migration issues and the highlighted objectives of the Agenda, with a particular focus on sustainable development goal 4 (SDG 4) relating to quality education. Its targets as well as the objectives of the Agenda relating to poverty reduction, the right to employment and decent work (SDG 8), access to justice for all (SDG 16), and the strengthening of the global partnership (SDG 17) primarily imply access to educational resources for all. By promoting the thesis of education as an “enabling right” which, in addition to supporting opportunities for personal development and integration, can also be a driving force for global sustainable development, education is seen as a generator of sustainable development and knowledge society. In the context of the situation of migrants it supports the protection and security of acquired knowledge, prevents the risk of exclusion, ie contributes to their empowerment for sustainable life in the community.

Full text
Abstract:
Total Official Support for Sustainable Development, or TOSSD, is a new statistical metric that has been in the making for almost 10 years. It is meant to capture a broad range of global flows of public money in support of sustainable development. These include aid, loans on non-concessional terms, and public funds aimed at mobilising private finance for development. Metrics matter. It is essential to track the resources that the international community is allocating to turn the ambitions of Agenda 2030 and its Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into reality. Without such data, it is impossible to determine whether there is progress. ActionAid, AidWatch Canada and Oxfam International are publishing this discussion paper to shed light on how TOSSD works in practice as well as on its ambitions, shortcomings and the contending political perspectives on this new metric. The paper emphasizes that TOSSD could significantly shape the future of development finance.

Abstract:
Herausforderungen, wie sie mit den Sustainable Development Goals beschrieben werden, erfordern häufig Systeminnovationen, die eine partizipative und transdisziplinäre Zusammenarbeit verschiedener Akteure aus Wirtschaft, Politik und Zivilgesellschaft beinhalten. Eine Schwierigkeit stellt in einem solchen Innovationsprozess das Fehlen einer prozessdefinierenden Zielsetzung dar. Meist handelt es sich hierbei um „(super) wicked problems“, zu denen es auf Grund von komplexen Strukturen und Zielkonflikten bislang keine expliziten Umsetzungskonzepte gibt. Daher muss am Anfang dieses gemeinsamen Prozesses allen Beteiligten unklar sein, welche Gestalt die angestrebte Lösung zur Erreichung des jeweiligen SDG hat. Diese Spannung des Ungewissen auszuhalten und als Ressource zu nutzen, stellt ein zentrales Prinzip vieler Designdisziplinen und Methodiken dar. Strategien der Designmethodologie nutzen daher ausreichend Raum für kreative Unschärfen, um das Unbekannte zu erschließen. So bieten sie ein nützliches Methodenrepertoire und einen strategischen Ansatzpunkt für das Erreichen der SDG.

Full text
Abstract:
The learning crisis in developing countries is increasingly acknowledged (World Bank, 2018). The UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) include goals and targets for universal learning and the World Bank has adopted a goal of eliminating learning poverty. We use student level PISA-D results for seven countries (Cambodia, Ecuador, Guatemala, Honduras, Paraguay, Senegal, and Zambia) to examine inequality in learning outcomes at the global, country, and student level for public school students. We examine learning inequality using five dimensions of potential social disadvantage measured in PISA: sex, rurality, home language, immigrant status, and socio-economic status (SES)—using the PISA measure of ESCS (Economic, Social, and Cultural Status) to measure SES. We document four important facts. First, with the exception of Ecuador, less than a third of the advantaged (male, urban, native, home speakers of the language of instruction) and ESCS elite (plus 2 standard deviations above the mean) children enrolled in public schools in PISA-D countries reach the SDG minimal target of PISA level 2 or higher in mathematics (with similarly low levels for reading and science). Even if learning differentials of enrolled students along all five dimensions of disadvantage were eliminated, the vast majority of children in these countries would not reach the SDG minimum targets. Second, the inequality in learning outcomes of the in-school children who were assessed by the PISA by household ESCS is mostly smaller in these less developed countries than in OECD or high-performing non-OECD countries. If the PISA-D countries had the same relationship of learning to ESCS as Denmark (as an example of a typical OECD country) or Vietnam (a high-performing developing country) their enrolled ESCS disadvantaged children would do worse, not better, than they actually do. Third, the disadvantages in learning outcomes along four characteristics: sex, rurality, home language, and being an immigrant country are absolutely large, but still small compared to the enormous gap between the advantaged, ESCS average students, and the SDG minimums. Given the massive global inequalities, remediating within-country inequalities in learning, while undoubtedly important for equity and justice, leads to only modest gains towards the SDG targets. Fourth, even including both public and private school students, there are strikingly few children in PISA-D countries at high levels of performance. The absolute number of children at PISA level 4 or above (reached by roughly 30 percent of OECD children) in the low performing PISA-D countries is less than a few thousand individuals, sometimes only a few hundred—in some subjects and countries just double or single digits. These four hard lessons from PISA-D reinforce the need to address global equity by “raising the floor” and targeting low learning levels (Crouch and Rolleston, 2017; Crouch, Rolleston, and Gustafsson, 2020). As Vietnam and other recent successes show, this can be done in developing country settings if education systems align around learning to improve the effectiveness of the teaching and learning processes to improve early learning of foundational skills.

Full text
Abstract:
Tracking progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is critical to evaluate how far the water and sanitation sector is from achieving these targets, and to guarantee that the solutions and strategies implemented get everyone closer to them. But this is not a simple task. To truly assess collective progress towards achieving SDG 6 (and all other goals), it is fundamental to count on standardized measures that help track all types of access, their reliability, and their quality. Existing data tend to lack comparability across sources and locations because they rely on different definitions and categories. Samples are often not representative of all groups within the population. More developed areas are more likely to collect data, which results in the overrepresentation of groups that enjoy better services. Still in some areas and for some categories of information data is not available at all. In response to these challenges, the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) partnered with the Latin American Public Opinion Project (LAPOP) to gather nationally representative and comparable data in 18 countries in the region. The goal of this effort was to provide an initial outlook of the current landscape of water and sanitation services in the region, using two batteries of questions in the LAPOP questionnaire for the 2018-2019 wave. The main message that arises is that the Latin American and the Caribbean region faces a wide range of challenges, that vary both across and within countries. Some areas face the primary challenge of closing access gaps, while others display higher deficiency in service quality, such as continuity. The gaps in quality of services, in particular, are not clearly perceived by users. In general, levels of satisfaction with the services received is quite high among the population, much higher than warranted by the objective measures of service quality. This raises important issues for accountability in the sector. If users are mostly satisfied with the current state of affairs, it is unlikely they will pressure governments and utilities to improve service delivery. A more in-depth analysis is required to understand the reasons behind these opinions and possible ways to raise awareness.

Abstract:
In September 2015, Ghana along all UN member states endorsed the Agenda 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as the cardinal agenda towards achieving a prosperous global future. The SDGs are strongly interdependent, making progress in all goals essential for a country’s achievement of sustainable development. While Ghana and other West African nations have exhibited significant economic and democratic development post-independence. The judiciary system and related legal frameworks, as well as the lack of rule law and political will for safeguarding the human rights of its citizens, falls short of considering violations against minorities. Will Ghana be able to localize human rights related SDGs, given that West African governments historically tended to promote internal security and stability at the expense of universal human rights? This paper focuses on evaluating the commitments made by Ghana towards achieving Agenda 2030, with a particular focus on the SDGs 10 and 16 relating to the promotion of reduced inequalities, peace, justice and accountable institutions. Moreover, this paper also analyzes legal instruments and state laws put in place post Ghana’s democratization in 1992 for the purpose of preventing discrimination and human rights violations in the nation. The article aims to highlight how Ghana’s post-independence political experience, the lack of rule of law, flaws in the judiciary system, and the weak public access to justice are obstacles to its effective localization of human rights SGDs. Those obstacles to Ghana’s compliance with SDGs 10 and 16 are outlined in this paper through a consideration of human rights violations faced by the Ghanaian Muslim and HIV minorities, poor prison conditions, limited public access to justice and the country’s failure to commit to international treaties on human rights.
