Abstract This article proposes a governance approach for the prioritization of sustainable development goals (SDGs) in the city of Medellín (Colombia, South America). The governance approach proposed in this study stems from the articulation of technical and participatory approaches. The technical approach took as reference the document CONPES 3918, which defines the national sustainable development agenda in Colombia. The participatory approach was supported by the Medellín Citizen Perception Survey, which reflects the most important aspects of the quality of life for citizens. The results indicate that priorities for sustainable development in Medellín should be oriented to SDG 17, SDG 3, SDG 8, SDG 5, and SDG 4. The consistency test (CR) indicates the instrument applied is consistent.

Around the world, cities are on the front lines of sustainable development. They are responsible for more than 70% of global carbon emissions. Many of these cities are experiencing dangerous levels of pollution, underemployment, and health disparities. Since 2015, 193 countries have endorsed the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), intended to help address a wide range of challenges affecting cities and ultimately secure the resources for their next generations. All states are expected to present the national progress towards the SDGs through a Voluntary National Review (VNR). Despite the importance of the cities within this framework, only a handful of them worldwide have actively begun to review and assess progress towards these SDGs on a city scale. This paper seeks to develop a Voluntary Local Review (VLR) framework to assess and evaluate the progress of cities towards contributing to the SDGs. This framework has been developed by localizing the international and national frameworks to measure the performance of cities as they advance towards achieving the SDGs. Such a framework can serve as a tool for benchmarking progress on different aspects of sustainable development and help urban planners and policymakers prioritize policies and actions to improve urban quality of life. This framework is applied to monitor and evaluate the progress of the city of Buraidah in Saudi Arabia, as it strives towards achieving the targets of SDG11 (“Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable”).

World Development

At present the world is required to realize sustainable development, as outlined in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). SDGs are 17 goals determined by the United Nations as a world development agenda for the benefit of humans and planet earth and are expected to be achieved in 2030. The first three SDGs are: first (poverty), second (hunger), and third (healthy and prosperous life). To achieve the 3 first goals of SDGs, a study on the production of fish protein concentrate (KPI) made from dumbo rejected catfish was conducted, and added the KPI catfish rejected concentrate to improve the quality of destitute crackers. The results of the study were: (1) the best KPI was made by extraction using 75% isopropyl alcohol (IPA) solvent, with 4 repetitions, the highest protein content was 78,71%, the lowest fat content was 0,69%, and the organoleptic value highest (4,37); and (2) the best destitute crackers are crackers with the addition of 10% KPI with quality: 12,41% protein content, 28,5% florality, organoleptic value crispy texture, very weak savory taste, bright cream cracker color. The addition of KPIs derived from dumbo reject catfish in destitute crackers is expected to be used to achieve the objectives of the first SDGs up to the third, but further research is needed in the production scale with an analysis focus on economic aspects.   Saat ini dunia dituntut untuk mewujudkan pembangunan berkelanjutan, yang dituangkan dalam Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). SDGs merupakan 17 tujuan yang ditentukan oleh PBB sebagai agenda dunia pembangunan untuk kemaslahatan manusia dan planet bumi dan diharapkan dapat dicapai pada tahun 2030. Tiga tujuan pertama SDGs adalah: pertama (kemiskinan), kedua (kelaparan), dan ketiga (Kehidupan sehat dan sejahtera). Untuk mecapai 3 tujuan SDGs ini dilakukan penelitian pembuatan konsentrat protein ikan (KPI) berbahan baku ikan lele dumbo afkir, dan menambahkan KPI lele dumbo afkir untuk meningkatkan kualitas kerupuk melarat. Hasil penelitian adalah: (1) KPI terbaik dibuat dengan ekstraksi menggunakan pelarut isopropil alkohol (IPA) konsentrasi 75%, dengan 4 kali pengulangan, memiliki kadar protein yang paling tinggi 78,71 %, kadar lemak terendah 0,69%, dan nilai organoleptik tertinggi (4,37); dan (2) Kerupuk melarat terbaik adalah kerupuk dengan penambahan KPI 10% dengan kualitas: kadar protein 12,41%, tingkat kemekaran 28,5%, nilai organoleptik tekstur renyah, rasa gurih sangat lemah, warna kerupuk krem keputihan cemerlang. Penambahan KPI yang berasal dari lele dumbo afkir pada kerupuk melarat diharapkan dapat digunakan untuk mencapai tujuan SDGs pertama sampai dengan ketiga, namun diperlukan penelitian lebih lanjut dalam skala produksi dengan fokus analisis pada aspek ekonomi.

The University

The relevance of linking the concept of sustainable development and the security discourse reveals the possibility of believing that education is a prerequisite for ensuring that “sustainable development” goals become a reality. The university has a twofold task: first, to produce knowledge that meets the demands of our time, i.e. technical knowledge, and second, to form human capital, to train specialists capable of the practical application of instrumental knowledge. The initial orientation of the concept of “sustainable development” towards a global perspective: the representation of reality in an economic paradigm, i.e., totally determined by the “logic of capital”, “monocausal economic logic”, determines the criteria by which the quality of human capital, its price, and efficiency of production of a standardized product are evaluated, the production of which is undertaken by the university-corporation that has replaced the classical “university of reason”, whose ontic foundations - the “Hegelian science”, the romantic “education of humanity” - are no longer valid in what is called modernity. The article demonstrates how modernity, constituted concerning a certain self-representation of the New European subject and presented in the liberal economic paradigm, predetermines both the goal-setting in determined by its representation of the development and the content and methods of the reform of the university. It is concluded that “sustainable development”, “security” and “university-corporation” are essentially connected with the representation of reality in the liberal version of the economic paradigm.

No one has the slightest doubt about the enormous potential that the African continent has as a tourist destination. The diversity of cultures, the great biodiversity that it possesses, the multiple artistic manifestations that it offers and the beauty of the seas that surround it are key pieces in continuing to promote its capacity as a tourist attraction, which is approximately 60 million tourists per year who generate seven percent of exports and employment. However, in order for Africa to take off, it is necessary that a number of conditions related to security, health, education, eradication of poverty, reduction of inequalities, peace and justice and quality of its waters, among others, are intimately related to the Sustainable Development Goals defined in the 2030 Agenda. In this context, we maintain that the implementation of the Circular Economy in Africa will be a key tool in this process of improving the sustainability of this continent in its three aspects, economic, social and environmental, and raising its level of tourism competitiveness.

<p><em>In 2018, the quality of Indonesian human resources was ranked 87 out of 157 countries. The good growth of Indonesian human resources, of course, starts from the womb or prenatal period, under five years of age, children, adolescents, to working productive ages. This study chose the topic of stunting, because of the urgency to improve the competitiveness of Indonesian human resources in the regional and international realms. Superior human resources are certainly formed from a long process since childhood. This paper aims to apply the concept of sustainable development goals (SDGs) as a framework adopted by the Government of Indonesia in reducing the prevalence of stunting cases and to provide the latest holistic analysis regarding the implementation of SDGs policies by the Government of Indonesia in reducing the prevalence of stunting cases. This study used qualitative research methods. The result of this research is that collaboration between state and non-state actors is needed to handle stunting cases in Indonesia. Starting from the synergy between ministries / institutions and collaboration with academics, public health scholars, companies, and foreign parties. These results are important as recommendations for each stakeholder in implementing the SDGs concept to reduce the prevalence of stunting cases in Indonesia.</em></p>

We live in an increasingly urban, increasingly unequal world. This is nowhere more evident than in cities of the global South, where many residents face deep injustices in their ability to access vital services, participate in decision-making or to have their rights recognised as citizens. In this regard, the rallying cry of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to ‘leave no one behind’ offers significant potential to guide urbanisation processes towards more equitable outcomes, particularly for the urban poor. Yet the SDGs have also faced a series of criticisms which have highlighted the gaps and silences in moving towards a transformative agenda. This article explores the potentials of adopting a relational lens to read the SDGs, as a mechanism to navigate these internal contradictions and critiques and build pathways to urban equality. In particular, it offers three questions if we want to place urban equality at the heart of the agenda: who owns the city; who produces knowledge about the city; and who is visible in the city? Drawing from the practices of organised groups of the urban poor, this article outlines the key lessons for orienting this agenda towards the relational and transformative aims of urban equality.

Urban resilience is increasingly seen as essential to managing the risks and challenges arising in a globally changing, connected, and urbanized world. Hence, cities are central to achieving a range of global development policy commitments adopted over the past few years, ranging from the Paris Climate Agreement to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). However, knowledge of the ways in which cities are going about implementing resilience or of how such efforts can practically contribute to the implementation of global agendas is still limited. This paper discusses the experience of cities that were members of the 100 Resilient Cities (100RC) network, an entity pioneered by The Rockefeller Foundation. It reviews the resilience strategies developed by 100RC members to show that 100RC cities are increasingly aligning their resilience work to global development policies such as the SDGs. It then draws on the case of the city of Cape Town in South Africa to illustrate the process of developing a resilience strategy through 100RC tools and methodologies including the City Resilience Framework (CRF) and City Resilience Index (CRI) and its alignment to the SDGs and reflects on lessons and learnings of Cape Town’s experience for the global city network-policy nexus post-2015.

Manila is a primate city with national and international significance. Unlike any other city in the Philippines, Manila has the mandate of serving not just its local constituents, but also a clientele of national and even global scale. Recognizing that the localization of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) at sub-national levels is a key element in meeting the targets by 2030, it is important to look at how cities have been confronting local challenges relating to the development goals. Focusing on SDGs 3, 4 and 11, this city profile shows that Manila has performed reasonably well against key national and regional benchmarks on health, education and urban sustainability. However, as the city continues to lag behind many of its regional counterparts, key reforms must be undertaken in the areas of local policymaking, targeting of resources, scale of public participation and engagement of national government agencies. Heading into the first four years of the SDGs, the aim of this profile is to recognize and contextualize Manila’s existing urban conditions, best practices and pressing challenges—which would all have a significant implication on how Manila stands to attain SDGs 3, 4 and 11.
