The SDGs don't work because they promise everything everywhere all at once. Governments should prioritize smart policies that yield the highest returns, like tablets in schools. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2024/05/03/world/priorities-policies-education-government/

phiofx,

@smallcircles @stefano the unknown factor is the degree and speed of diffusion. Corporate control of tech follows it being the only economic pattern that cajoled enough brains to tap into its potential. The public sector doing the same is (maybe) the next phase. Yet individual digital sovereignty through tech literacy is the noblest destiny of the fediverse. Should be (imho) an explicit human right / UN as this will shape our future more than anything else.

Wo sind Städte oder Kreise, die sich spätestens 2030 zu 100% Erneuerbar versorgen oder klimaneutral sein wollen?

Wenn wir Klimaschutz ernst meinen, ist das die Minimalvoraussetzung.

Bitte breit verteilen, denn ich brauche möglichst viele Beispiele, um abzulesen:

  • Was sind die jeweiligen Motive und zentralen Akteure, die zu solchen Beschlüssen führen?

  • Welche Wege und Ansätze werden gewählt?

  • was lässt sich andernorts übernehmen?

Wir haben keine Zeit, überall das Rad neu zu erfinden.

@herrmannpierre@mastodon.world avatar

Und als Anschlussfragen:

  • welche Orte haben Partnerschaften mit Orten im globalen Süden oder anderen bereits stark betroffenen Gemeinschaften? (Letztere sind der ethische Maßstab für den Klimaschutz, den wir betreiben müssen, nicht unsere bequeme Wohlstandssituation) und was berichten, welche Perspektive vermitteln diese Partnerschaften über die Klimakrise?

  • welche Vorteile und Benefits durch schnellen, effektiven Klimaschutz für andere Nachhaltige Entwicklungsziele () werden erkannt?

Der Nachhaltigkeitshaushalt soll künftig dazu dienen, die Verteilung der zur Verfügung stehenden Finanzressourcen mit den kommunalen Nachhaltigkeitszielen in Einklang zu bringen und darüber eine höhere Transparenz zu erreichen.

Die Cholera breitet sich weltweit wieder vermehrt aus. Sauberes Trinkwasser ist der Schlüssel im Kampf gegen die Krankheit. Den nachhaltigen Entwicklungszielen der UN zufolge soll bis 2030 jeder Mensch Zugang zu sauberem Wasser haben.

Someone just told me that if a would offer a option, their institution would not allow them to there but they must choose the remote option and participate from home.

Are there more places with such rules? And is this due to general financial issues or to achieve sustainability goals (by reducing CO2)?
