Addressing inequities within the Sustainable Development Goals: ensuring "no-one is left behind"

气候变化、生物多样性丧失和可持续发展等多方面危机的解决办法，如果不同时解决财富、机会、健康和教育方面的不平等问题，就不可能解决这些问题，这些不平等现象按性别和地理划分得很严重--仅举几例。这在可持续发展目标(SDGs)本身中得到了承认，具体是通过目标5和目标10，以及更广泛地通过其他目标。在制定气候缓解办法和环境保护时，我们可以通过考虑交叉性(适用于个人和群体的社会类别之间的相互联系)来解决可持续发展中的不平等问题。然而，这需要一种基于系统、跨学科的方法，结合社会科学、自然科学和数学科学的方法，来理解这些“邪恶的”问题并找到解决方案。“新冠肺炎”疫情加剧了全球的不平等。2022/23年度将推出雄心勃勃的新协议，如《联合国气候变化框架公约》COP27、《生物多样性公约》COP15和《联合国2030年生物多样性框架》。基于自然的解决方案(NBS)有可能支持这些方案，以确保它们通过支持可持续生计实现变革性变化，同时加强提供生态系统服务，支持生物多样性保护，并提供适应和缓解气候变化的共同好处。然而，只有在一开始就考虑到不平等现象，才能确保成功。该项目将采用以系统为基础的方法来评估基于自然的解决方案，以此作为同时在可持续发展目标中实施多个目标的一种手段，同时也考虑到交叉性。这种方法将确保考虑到先前存在的和潜在的不平等，这些不平等否则将破坏对地球健康和福祉至关重要的国际协议和方案的成功。方法将包括半结构化访谈、Q方法、焦点小组和关键线人访谈以及元数据分析、内容分析和社会网络分析，处理四个目标：1)调查目标5和10与其他可持续发展目标之间的内在权衡，以了解这些权衡如何破坏可持续发展目标的实现。2)绘制联合国系统内不同交叉性要素的价值体系。3)评价国家统计局一系列方案在应对环境挑战和可持续发展方面的成功，同时解决社会不平等问题。4)制定政策准则，说明旨在实现可持续发展和环境保护的方案中的不平等现象

Solutions to the multi-faceted crises of climate change, biodiversity loss and sustainable development are not possible without concurrently addressing inequities of wealth, opportunity, health, and education, sharply divided by gender and geography - to name but a few. This is acknowledged within the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) themselves, via Goals 5 and 10 specifically and the other goals more generally. We can address inequities in sustainable development by accounting for intersectionality (the interconnections among social categories as they apply to individuals and groups) when developing climate mitigation approaches and environmental conservation. However, this requires a systems-based, transdisciplinary approach, combining methods from across the social, natural, and mathematical sciences, to develop an understanding of these "wicked" problems and to find solutions.The COVID-19 pandemic has served to exacerbate inequalities globally. 2022/23 sees the launch of ambitious new agreements, such as the UNFCCC COP27, CBD COP15 and the UN 2030 Framework for Biodiversity. Nature-based solutions (NbS) have the potential to support these programmes to ensure they deliver transformative change through supporting sustainable livelihoods whilst enhancing the provision of ecosystem services, supporting biodiversity conservation, and providing the co-benefits of climate change adaptation and mitigation. However, success will only be assured if inequities are accounted for during their inception. This project will take a systems-based approach to evaluate nature-basedsolutions as a means of implementing multiple goals across the SDGs concurrently, whilst also accounting for intersectionality. This approach will ensure that pre-existing and potential inequities are taken into consideration, inequalities that would otherwise undermine the success of international agreements and programmes that are vital to the planet's health and well-being.Methods will include semi-structured interviews, q-methodology, focus groups, and key informant interviews alongside meta-data analysis, content analysis and social network analysis, to address four objectives:1) To investigate the inherent trade-offs between Goals 5 and 10 and other SDGS to understand how these trade-offs may undermine the achievement of the SDGs.2) To map the values system for different elements of intersectionality within the UN system.3) To evaluate a series of NbS programmes in relation to their success in terms of tackling environmental challenges and sustainable development whilst concurrently addressing social inequities.4) To develop policy guidelines for accounting for inequities in programmes aimed at achieving both sustainable development and environmental protection
