    In September 2015, the 193 United Nations Member States adopted 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to be achieved by 2030. These 17 SDGs set ambitious goals for the 5 Ps: People, Planet, Prosperity, Peace and Partnerships. Each community, each territory, each country is invited to adopt this universal Agenda, the challenge being to build and implement collectively constructed roadmaps adapted to these different contexts.
    The purpose of this advanced course is to inform, sensitize, and encourage mobilization around these SDGs. First of all, it proposes a detailed study of the state of humanity and the planet in 2019, a situation that allows us to understand the idea and reaffirm the need for SDGs. Beyond a presentation of these objectives, their targets and their monitoring indicators, the course examines, based on an analysis and examples, one of the major difficulties encountered in making these SDGs operational: managing the contradictions between some of their targets. Finally, a study of what is possible to do concretely is proposed. The role of public, economic, financial, media and associative stakeholders is thus examined, as well as the equally important role of citizens and youth.

  • 2 - The SDGs: an agenda for all countries and for all sectors (9 videos)

    These videos explain what the 17 SDGs are, the 169 targets associated with them and the monitoring indicators identified to track trends. They focus on the interactions between the SDGs, which can lead to synergies or antagonisms, and which must be considered in all action programs. Numerous examples are provided to illustrate this.

    • SDGs: an agenda for all nations and all sectors

      Jean-Paul Moatti, Chairman and CEO of the French National Research Institute for Sustainable Development (IRD), provides some background information on the 17 Sustainable Development Goals. He highlights the need to take into account the interactions between these SDGs.

      		   
       

    • The SDGsʼ geographic universality: an agenda for all nations

      Hubert de Milly, an expert at the French Development Agency (AFD), highlights the universality of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). First of all, he highlights the need for all countries in the world to become more sustainable. He then goes one to analyse the special responsibility of northern countries for the achievement, by all, of the SDGs, before raising the issue of Official Development Assistance.

      		   
       

    • SDG sectorial universality : all fields are covered

      Sarah Marniesse, Director of the Department of Research and Innovation Mobilisation at IRD until June 2018, and now Head of AFD's Development Campus, outlines the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the context of building the sustainable development agenda and how it differs from the MDG (Millennium Development Goals) agenda. She also explains what the targets and monitoring indicators associated with these SDGs are. Finally, she discusses the feasibility of implementing this agenda.

      		   
       

    • Understanding interactions between SDGs

      Anne-Sophie Stevance, Scientific Officer at the International Council for Science (ISC), shows how the SDGs are consistent with each other. To this end, she describes the different levels of influence that can be observed and then discusses the involvement of this work on the issues of priority action and ownership of the SDGs.

      		   
       

    • Interactions between SDGs: the example of SDG 12 on responsible production and consumption

    • Interactions between SDGs: an illustration with Neglected Tropical Diseases

      Philippe Solano, Research Director at the Institut de Recherche pour le Développement (IRD), and Director of the "Intertryp" Research Unit (IRD/Cirad), shows the relationship between Sustainable Development Goal 3 "Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages" and the other SDGs. He illustrates his point with the question of Neglected Tropical Diseases.

      Jean-Luc Chotte, Research Director at the Institut de Recherche pour le Développement (IRD), talks to us about agriculture and Sustainable Development Goal 2 "Zero Hunger". He stressed the importance of considering the interactions between the targets of this SDG and those of the other SDGs, as part of a Nexus approach.

    • Indicators for monitoring Sustainable Development Goals

      Frédéric Vey and Anne-Sophie Hesse, from the French Ministry of Ecological Transition, talk about the indicators for monitoring the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). After a theoretical approach to define and point out the limits of the indicators, they show how SDGs indicators are applied from the international to the national level.
