Creating a space for place and multi-dimensional well-being: lessons learned from localizing the SDGs

Edité par CCSD ; Springer Verlag (Germany) -
International audience. Achieving sustainable development globally requires multi-scale and interdisciplinary efforts and perspectives. Global goals shape national-level priorities and actions, creating cascading impacts realized at the local level through international aid and implementation of programs intended to achieve progress towards these metrics. We compare the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to regionally-developed dimensions of Pacific Well-being. Some dimensions related to human health and access to infrastructure and finances are well represented in the SDGs, whereas others, such as those regarding connections between people and connections to place, are not. We identify challenges in applying SDG indicators at the local level and provide lessons learned for national-level reporting to foster equitable and holistic approaches and outcomes for sustainability: Enhance systems-based approaches to policy and management; Draw on locally-relevant well-being definitions to develop indicators; Develop indicators on the connections between both people and place, and on Indigenous and local knowledge; Recognize potential biases towards easy-to-measure metrics; and Carefully consider how data are collected.
