This article seeks to highlight the importance of the possible relationship between the PDET and the SDGs, as a strategy to promote social sustainability that allows transformation and renewal of territories in Colombia in the framework of peacebuilding. In addition, to strengthen public policies from a bottom-up and participatory approach, to articulate the different actors in the territories.   The first moment presents the generalities of the SDGs and their 2030 global agenda. A second section explains the PDTs within the framework of the Peace Agreement in Colombia. The third phase seeks to generate reflection on the harmonization between the SDGs and the PDET, recognizing points of encounter and differences as a strategy that promotes social sustainability. In the fourth section of this article, we will discuss the design of participatory public policies from a bottom-up approach that allows contributing to the construction of peace; since the PDET and the SDGs are designed in the means of participation to respond effectively to the needs of communities and their environment. Finally, we will present the conclusions that show how the PDET with the SDGs could articulate in scenarios of transformation and renewal of territories in Colombia.

The pandemic crisis has strongly affected both developing and developing countries, so that public policies, development plans and strategic plans such as the 2030 Agenda have been significantly impacted. As a methodology: examining the scope of Latin American countries, those that had been more involved, and those that were later, can be done by examining which ones had established a government department at the country level for the implementation of the agenda. Those who have not done so will be more difficult to join the achievement of the SDGs effectively by the year 2030. In addition, inviting professional, academic and scientific reflection, it is worth asking ourselves in what way, and critically, in this scenario of a crisis that indicates that in most countries, it will cost us to take off a few years, maintenance is compatible of the Agenda as planned, if this approach is equally effective for less developed countries, or if there are objectives and priorities that should now receive greater attention from governments and social institutions. Therefore, if the 2030 Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals are promoted from the highest levels, it is important to be able to open a critical space to whether this is going to have a positive impact on Latin American society, or nevertheless after the impact of the Pandemic crisis that has not ended, it is necessary to set other objectives. As we can see, there is room for a rethinking or an update of the agenda.

The emergence of Covid-19 has placed social protection and care of the family network at the center of the study, as well as the desire to establish a universal and comprehensive agenda for 2030. The serious effects caused by the pandemic suggest that the fulfillment of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) will be limited as a result of the increase in poverty and inequality. For this reason, the objective of this article is to investigate social protection in Latin American countries, especially about the effects of the pandemic in terms of aid, coverage, and benefits in Chile. Then, reflections on the fundamental role of social protection for the fulfillment of the SDGs are presented. And finally, some considerations in this matter.

This research identifies and analyzes the communicative practices that take place within an ecovillage; practices based on a relational ontology that resignify the categories of territory, community and development in other ways in opposition to the logics of modernity and capitalism. These communicative practices become the main means of transmitting discourses; epistemes and premises, with which ecovillagers shape their relationship with the community, living beings, Mother Earth and other beings. With a triangulation of investigative tools, this study compares whether, in correspondence, these communicative practices are spaces for the construction of other meanings that are reflected in everyday life, offering a real resignification not only of discourses but also of ways of being and doing. The research topic makes it possible to think of communication as the field where transformations of social realities and alternative visions to development arise, from a local resistance to the global on the part of the ecovillagers

The proposal in this article is about cases and examples of practices linked to 2030 Agenda,  and it aims to answer the question of whether it could be considered that 2030 Agenda hase been socialized in such a way beyond national state actors. To this end, the previous efforts of the United Nations will be analyzed, the four Decades for Development and Millennium Development Goals to conclude that while the Latter succeeded in positioning the issue of development on the global agenda, they did not adequately permeated in actors other than the state actors and international organizations involved and in this case, undoubtedly, 2030 Agenda has played a better role.  In this regard, the article analyses the specific case of Recommendation 26/2019 issued by the State Commission on Human Rights of the State of Jalisco (Mexico), in September of 2019, on the issue of the healthy environment of the inhabitants of the municipality of San Pedro Tlaquepaque. This recommendation stands out due to consider much of its content in the 2030 Agenda and applicable Sustainable Development Goals and for mandating to the municipal government to train all city council staff on the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, both issues, coadjuvant in the referred socialization  

In this paper we will analyse the five forms of obsolescence (programmed, functional, psychological, technological and indirect) as probable causes of the “consumer society” in which we are immersed. We will also propose some measures that can be taken from private law and which, in our opinion, would contribute to the fight against obsolescence and to achieving more sustainable consumption and production methods. These measures include the improvement of pre-contractual information duties, the extension of guarantee periods, the recognition of the right to repair (R2R), as well as the obligation imposed on traders to update digital content or services.

This review article discusses the unprecedented commitments adopted by the international community that have paved the way for the Millennium Development Goals and the Sustainable Development Goals, as well as the leading role that the European Union has played in regard to development aid. Its ambition consists in exploring why the implementation of such goals on a global scale has not yet aligned with the rhetoric of these commitments and with the transformative opportunities they offer. This paper first analyses the mixed results of the Millennium Development Goals, as well as the Sustainable Development Goals, which reflect a paradigm shift emanating from all world leaders to address current global challenges. It then expounds how the European Union, guided by its universal values and principles it aspires to promote in the rest of the world, and considering trade as a powerful lever for development, has helped developing countries to integrate into the global trading system. The latter also embodies a political model by integrating environmental concerns and sustainable development into its own treaties and plays a predominant role in the elaboration and implementation of these global goals. Finally, this article attempts to explain why the globalisation of the economy engenders deep inequalities, destroys the environment, and thus hinders the implementation of such goals by subordinating the social and environmental dimensions of sustainable development.

We live in an interdependent and transnationalized world that has been configured as a global risk society. In this framework, the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development could mark a turning point in development work by proposing goals and objectives that all countries should follow to build a more sustainable world. With this framework, this article aims to carry out an analysis of the 2030 Agenda to understand its opportunities, difficulties, and contradictions. The article argues that although the Agenda presents important limitations that are related to the lack of questioning structural power relations, it is a true opportunity to place sustainable development at the centre of the political and economic system and to develop policies to deal with the multidimensional crisis that affects all societies.

Este texto de presentación de la sección temática de la revista dedicada al desarrollo sostenible, la Agenda 2030 y los objetivos de desarrollo sostenible presta atención a las tendencias de fondo que llevan a los cambios que los diversos artículos elegidos para su publicación, previa aprobación de la revisión por pares con el tradicional sistema doble ciego, explican entre la agenda 2000 a 2015, Objetivos del Milenio, y de 2015 a 2030, Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible, ODS. Es decir, no se centra en esos cambios, bien descritos en muchos textos posteriores ni en el impacto de la pandemia en la implementación en curso. He escogido, por el contrario, recordar las dos fuerzas motrices que entre 1970 y mediados de los años noventa conforman los cambios en la concepción del desarrollo, la economía del bienestar y los enfoques basados en Amartya Sen que están tras la idea de desarrollo humano y el primer informe con tal título del PNUD (1990) y la larga evolución de la conciencia medioambiental desde 1972, Conferencia de Estocolmo, a la de Rio de Janeiro (1992) y la de Río + 20 (2012), crucial para los ODS y la Agenda 2030. Y lo hace tomando como punto de mira el cambio de mira que en temas de desarrollo y medio ambiente se ha producido en los cincuenta años que separan la reunión de Estocolmo con el presente: la conciencia de que estamos en una época que puede marcar, según que decidamos, el futuro de la humanidad y del planeta y muchas de las especies que lo habitan, el antropoceno

What are the characteristics and what implications do the different frameworks of the migration-development nexus have in relation to the problem of migration-related conditionality? What framework of the migration-development nexus does the 2030 Agenda offer? With this contribution we intend to reflect on the problem of migration-related conditionality. To do this, we analyze the political frameworks that support the different approaches to the so-called migration-development nexus. Our objective is to place this reflection in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development to find out what vision of the migration-development nexus it formulates and, therefore, about the problem of migration-related conditionality. The aid conditionality aid has been present since the origins of development policy. There are several types of conditionality, among which economic and political must be highlighted. As of September 11, the securitization of aid development was reinforced. Subsequently, the phenomenon of international migration became involved in that process. In this way the so-called migration-related conditionality arises. Firstly, we briefly expose the historical evolution of conditionality. Secondly, we explain the two theoretical-conceptual approaches to the migration-development nexus, which offer conflicting views: one approach states that migration positively impacts on development, while the other understands that the impact is negative. Finally, we offer a better understanding of the framing of migration and the conceptualization of the migration-development nexus carried out by 2030 Agenda. In this wat we can conclude whether this initiative seek to reduce or increase the migration-related conditionality.
