｜視点｜国連のグローバルな目標を達成するには脱中央集権が必要だ（ヨセフ・ベン・メイル ハイアトラス財団理事長）
【マラケシュIDN＝ヨセフ・ベン・メイル】
国連の持続可能な開発目標（SDGs）は、きわめて大胆な普遍性を持っており、誠実な目標とともに世界的に関連ある問題に対処しようとするものである。根本的に良いものを提供しているが目標には根本的な問題がある。目標は処方箋を欠いている。地元の人々の参加という、持続可能性の実現にとって必要不可欠だと思われるような内容すら、明確には盛り込めていない。
関連して言えば、１７項目のSDGsが選ばれたプロセス自体が、世界の地域社会が表明したニーズ全体を反映したものではなかった。結果として、SDGsが生活改善を支援する対象となる人々は、ほとんどSDGsの存在そのものを知ることがなく、同時に、１７項目を行動のための有益なガイドとして利用するために、彼らは力を与えられる必要があるのである。…

الكاتب هو متطوع سابق في فيلق السلام ورئيس مؤسسة الأطلس الكبير.
مراكش (IDN) – تعد أهداف التنمية المستدامة للأمم المتحدة عالمية حسبما نأمل بحيث تعالج القضايا ذات الصلة على الصعيد العالمي بأهداف جادة. على الرغم من الخير العميق الذي تمثله، هناك مشاكل أساسية تتعلق بتلك الأهداف. إنها تفتقر إلى التوجيه، إلى حد عدم توافقها صراحة مع شرط نعلم أهميته بالنسبة للاستدامة: مشاركة السكان المحليين.…

Punto de vista de Yossef Ben-Meir
El escritor es un antiguo voluntario del Cuerpo de Paz y presidente de la High Atlas Foundation.
MARRAKECH (IDN) — Los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS) de las Naciones Unidas tienen una aspiración universal y abordan cuestiones de relevancia mundial con objetivos serios. Pese al profundo bien que representan, existen problemas fundamentales con los Objetivos. Carecen de prescriptividad, hasta el punto de no atenerse explícitamente a lo que sabemos que es indeleble para la sostenibilidad: la participación de la población local.…

The writer is a former Peace Corps Volunteer and president of the High Atlas Foundation.
MARRAKECH (IDN) — The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are aspirationally universal, addressing globally relevant issues with earnest objectives. Despite the profound good that they represent, fundamental problems exist with the Goals. They lack prescriptiveness, even to the extent of not explicitly aligning with what we know is indelible to sustainability: local people’s participation.
