No Poverty de Walter Leal Filho

No Poverty: Encyclopedia of the UN Sustainable Development Goals

Editat de Walter Leal Filho, Anabela Marisa Azul, Luciana Brandli, Pinar Gökcin Özuyar, Amanda Lange Salvia, Tony Wall
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 11 mai 2021

Considerăm acest volum o enciclopedie academică de referință, fiind o piesă centrală în seria Encyclopedia of the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Publicat de Springer în ediția 2021, No Poverty analizează exhaustiv primul obiectiv de dezvoltare durabilă al ONU: eradicarea sărăciei în toate formele sale. Într-un format masiv de 1000 de pagini, lucrarea depășește simpla definiție a termenilor, oferind o structură riguroasă ce urmărește țintele Agendei 2030, de la implementarea sistemelor naționale de protecție socială până la asigurarea drepturilor egale asupra resurselor economice și funciare. Notăm cu interes modul în care această ediție integrează dimensiunea protecției mediului în lupta împotriva sărăciei, punând un accent deosebit pe reziliența populațiilor vulnerabile în fața șocurilor climatice. Această abordare extinde cadrul propus de volumele Zero Hunger sau Climate Action cu date noi și specifice despre corelația dintre accesul la tehnologie, servicii financiare și stabilitatea socială. Structura cărții facilitează o progresie logică, pornind de la mecanisme de acoperire a nevoilor de bază ale celor săraci și culminând cu strategii de mobilizare a resurselor la nivel internațional. În contextul operei editorului Walter Leal Filho, acest volum continuă direcția începută în Handbook of Sustainability Science in the Future, unde autorul explora impactul creșterii populației și al schimbărilor climatice asupra mijloacelor de trai. Față de lucrările sale anterioare, No Poverty se distinge prin gradul înalt de specializare pe politici publice și cadre legislative sensibile la gen, necesare pentru o investiție accelerată în eradicarea sărăciei.

Descriere scurtă

The problems related to the process of industrialisation such as biodiversity depletion, climate change and a worsening of health and living conditions, especially but not only in developing countries, intensify. Therefore, there is an increasing need to search for integrated solutions to make development more sustainable. The United Nations has acknowledged the problem and approved the “2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development”. On 1st January 2016, the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the Agenda officially came into force. These goals cover the three dimensions of sustainable development: economic growth, social inclusion and environmental protection.
The Encyclopedia of the UN Sustainable Development Goals comprehensively addresses the SDGs in an integrated way. It encompasses 17 volumes, each devoted to one of the 17 SDGs. This volume addresses SDG 1, namely "End poverty in all its forms everywhere" and contains the description of a range of terms, which allows for a better understanding and fosters knowledge about it.
Concretely, the defined targets are:
  • Eradicate extreme poverty for all people everywhere, currently measured as people living on less than $1.25 a day 
  • Reduce at least by half the proportion of men, women and children of all ages living in poverty in all its dimensions according to national definitions
  • Implement nationally appropriate social protection systems and measures for all, including floors, and achieve substantial coverage of the poor and the vulnerable
  • Ensure that all men and women, in particular the poor and the vulnerable, have equal rights to economic resources, as well as access to basic services, ownership and control over land and other forms of property, inheritance, natural resources, appropriate new technology and financial services, including microfinance
  • Build the resilience of the poor and those in vulnerablesituations and reduce their exposure and vulnerability to climate-related extreme events and other economic, social and environmental shocks and disasters
  • Ensure significant mobilization of resources from a variety of sources, including through enhanced development cooperation, in order to provide adequate and predictable means for developing countries, in particular least developed countries, to implement programmes and policies to end poverty in all its dimensions
  • Create sound policy frameworks at the national, regional and international levels, based on pro-poor and gender-sensitive development strategies, to support accelerated investment in poverty eradication actions
