#2030NoNegociable

En este día, conmemoramos el inicio de la Semana Global de #AcciónXODS demandando a los gobiernos del mundo y a todos los sectores un #2030NoNegociable, donde nos movilizamos para exigir la adopción acelerada de una propuesta de Estímulo de los ODS, bajo tres ámbitos de acción: un aumento masivo de la financiación para el desarrollo; una nueva iniciativa para aliviar las deudas de los países más pobres; y la ampliación de la financiación de contingencia para todos las países que la necesiten.

#ProsperidadPlanetaria

En este día, enlazando dos ODS fundamentales para esta transformación, buscamos que personas y organizaciones se movilicen por la #ProsperidadPlanetaria. Un aspecto crucial de la Agenda 2030 para el Desarrollo Sostenible, los ODS y el Acuerdo de París, es promover la coherencia y el cumplimiento del ordenamiento territorial sostenible, la implementación de estrategias regionales, nacionales y locales de reducción del riesgo de desastres y ser  resilientes a los efectos del cambio climático.

#RescatarLaVida

El agua produce energía necesaria para el desarrollo de los países, sobre todo para los más pobres. El uso del agua potable y saneamiento mejoran las condiciones no sólo de la vida de las personas, sino también el crecimiento económico de los países y el desarrollo industrial. El agua es un factor clave en la lucha contra el cambio climático a través de la gestión sostenible y la conservación de ecosistemas hídricos naturales.

#IgualdadAhora

Para reducir la desigualdad, es necesario distribuir equitativamente los recursos, invertir en la enseñanza y el desarrollo de capacidades, implementar medidas de protección social, luchar contra la discriminación, apoyar a los grupos marginados y fomentar la cooperación internacional para un comercio y sistemas financieros justos. Por ello, exigimos en el marco de este día una #IgualdadAhora para todas las personas, pero particularmente para las mujeres y los desafíos que éstas enfrentan.

#InnovarParaLaAlimentación

Para combatir el hambre en el 2030, es necesaria la adopción de medidas coordinadas y urgentes, así como la implementación de soluciones innovadores a través de la tecnología que atiendan la desigualdad, transformen nuestros sistemas alimentarios, inviertan en prácticas agrícolas sostenibles, y apelen a la reducción y mitigación de los conflictos, mientras que atendemos la crisis climática. Debemos ser capaces de #InnovarParaLaAlimentación.

#BiodiversidadEsencial

Es imprescindible comprender y actuar sobre el hecho de que la pérdida de nuestros ecosistemas, tiene una intrínseca relación con el aumento en la pobreza. La creciente tendencia a la pérdida de bosques, degradación de los suelos y la extinción de especies suponen una grave amenaza tanto para el planeta como para las personas.

#SaludOceánica

Los ecosistemas de nuestro planeta están en peligro y sus mayores efectos se observan en los oceánicos y terrestres. Nuestros océanos, el mayor ecosistema del mundo, están en grave peligro a raíz de la contaminación por plásticos, sobrepesca, acidificación, calentamiento y eutrofización. Tan sólo en 2021, más de 17 millones de toneladas de plásticos se vertieron en los océanos, y se prevé que esta cifra se triplique para 2040. Por ello este día busca que a toda costa optemos por #PreservarLaVida.

PROVOKE JOY (SDG 0) – Ultimate Goal of Agenda 2030

SDG 0 represents the notion that joy should be at the center of how we approach solving global issues like food system transformation rather than starting from a place of fear or despair. PROVOKE JOY invites you to join the discussion that promises to redefine the narrative around progress and infuse it with an element that has long been overlooked – JOY (Sustainable Development Goal 0).
