Reduced Inequalities de Walter Leal Filho

Reduced Inequalities: Encyclopedia of the UN Sustainable Development Goals

Editat de Walter Leal Filho, Anabela Marisa Azul, Luciana Brandli, Amanda Lange Salvia, Pinar Gökcin Özuyar, Tony Wall
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 31 aug 2021

Această primă ediție a volumului Reduced Inequalities, publicată în 2021, reprezintă o resursă academică de referință dedicată exclusiv celui de-al zecelea Obiectiv de Dezvoltare Durabilă (SDG 10) stabilit de Agenda 2030 a Națiunilor Unite. Suntem de părere că relevanța acestui tom de 924 de pagini rezidă în abordarea sa integrată asupra disparităților, tratând nu doar inegalitățile economice dintre națiuni, ci și pe cele sistemice din interiorul acestora, bazate pe criterii precum vârsta, sexul, dizabilitatea sau originea etnică. Subliniem faptul că lucrarea depășește sfera pur teoretică, oferind definiții clare și analize asupra unor ținte concrete: de la creșterea veniturilor pentru cei mai săraci 40% din populație, până la reducerea costurilor de tranzacție pentru remitențele migranților sub pragul de 3%. Structura volumului este organizată alfabetic și tematic pentru a facilita cercetarea, acoperind subiecte diverse precum accesul la învățământul superior, impactul barierelor comerciale și rolul comerțului echitabil în dezvoltare. Recomandăm acest volum ca pe un pilon central în contextul operei editorului Walter Leal Filho, completând viziunea sa sistemică începută în lucrări precum Handbook of Sustainability Science in the Future sau Sustainable Agriculture and Food Security. Dacă lucrările anterioare se concentrau pe securitatea alimentară sau sănătatea planetară, acest volum ancorează sustenabilitatea în echitatea socială și politică. În cadrul seriei Encyclopedia of the UN Sustainable Development Goals, acest titlu completează perspectiva oferită de Gender Equality sau No Poverty. În timp ce volumele menționate se axează pe dimensiuni specifice ale vulnerabilității, Reduced Inequalities adaugă o analiză transversală a mecanismelor de excluziune, oferind soluții integrate pentru politici fiscale și de protecție socială care să asigure egalitatea de șanse la nivel global.

De ce să citești această carte

Recomandăm această enciclopedie cercetătorilor, decidenților politici și studenților la științe sociale care doresc o înțelegere profundă a mecanismelor inegalității globale. Cititorul câștigă acces la o sinteză vastă de date și strategii despre cum pot fi eliminate legile discriminatorii și cum poate fi consolidată reprezentarea țărilor în curs de dezvoltare în instituțiile financiare internaționale. Este un instrument esențial pentru implementarea Agendei 2030.

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. The Encyclopedia encompasses 17 volumes, each one devoted to one of the 17 SDGs. This volume addresses SDG 10, namely "Reduce inequality within andamong countries", but also includes inequalities in income as well as those based on age, sex, disability, race, ethnicity, origin, religion or economic or other status within a country. The Goal also addresses inequalities among countries, including those related to representation, migration and development assistance. This volume contains the description of a range of terms, to allow a better understanding and foster knowledge about it. Concretely, the identified targets are:
  • Progressively achieve and sustain income growth of the bottom 40 per cent of the population at a rate higher than the national average
  • Empower and promote the social, economic and political inclusion of all, irrespective of age, sex, disability, race, ethnicity, origin, religion or economic or other status
  • Ensure equal opportunity and reduce inequalities of outcome, including by eliminating discriminatory laws, policies and practices and promoting appropriate legislation, policies and action in this regard
  • Adopt policies, especially fiscal, wage and social protection policies, and progressively achieve greater equality
  • Improve the regulation and monitoring of global financial markets and institutions and strengthen the implementation of such regulations
  • Ensure enhanced representation and voice for developing countries in decision-making in global international economic and financial institutions in order to deliver more effective, credible, accountable and legitimate institutions
  • Facilitate orderly, safe, regular and responsible migration and mobility of people, including through the implementation of planned and well-managed migration policies
  • Implement the principle of special and differential treatment for developing countries, in particular least developed countries, in accordance with World Trade Organization agreements
  • Encourage official development assistance and financial flows, including foreign direct investment, to states where the need is greatest, in particular least developed countries, African countries, small island developing states and landlocked developing countries, in accordance with their national plans and programmes
  • Reduce to less than 3 per cent the transaction costs of migrant remittances and eliminate remittance corridors with costs higher than 5 per cent
