Abstract

The global political agenda has included some high-profile environmental summits over the past few months. Three of these events stand out. The 2022 United Nations (UN) Climate Change Conference in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, was held from 6–20 November 2022. This was followed from 7–19 December 2022 by the UN Biodiversity Conference in Montréal, Canada, and the UN-Water Summit at UN Headquarters in New York City from 22–24 March 2023. Of these three events, the Biodiversity Summit made the most impact as delegates committed to protecting 30% of land and 30% of coastal and marine areas by 2030. This pledge is remarkable because it re-establishes political commitments to protect biodiversity, which is a key component of climate action. At the same time, many observers of the summit questioned how nation-states will implement this goal. Like the SDGs, the “30 by 30” commitment is long on aspirations but short on operationalization details. This observation is not a criticism of the agreement per se but a recognition of the challenges preventing ambitious biodiversity conservation plans from being fully implemented.

通过地方政策创新，可持续发展评估

过去几个月，全球政治议程包括一些备受瞩目的环境峰会。其中三个事件尤为突出。2022年联合国气候变化大会于11月6日至20日在埃及沙姆沙伊赫举行。随后，联合国生物多样性大会于2022年12月7日至19日在加拿大蒙特里萨举行，联合国水峰会于2023年3月22日至24日在纽约联合国总部举行。在这三个活动中，生物多样性峰会影响最大，代表们承诺到2030年保护30%的土地和30%的沿海和海洋地区。这一承诺意义重大，因为它重新确立了保护生物多样性的政治承诺，而生物多样性是气候行动的关键组成部分。与此同时，许多峰会观察员质疑民族国家将如何实现这一目标。与可持续发展目标一样，“30 by 30”承诺在愿景上很长，但在实施细节上很短。这种观察并不是对协议本身的批评，而是对阻碍雄心勃勃的生物多样性保护计划得到充分实施的挑战的承认。

期刊介绍： Regions & Cohesionis the journal of the Consortium for Comparative Research on Regional Integration and Social Cohesion (RISC), a cross-regional, interdisciplinary, and multilingual network of socially conscious and prestigious research institutes in Europe, North America, South America, Africa, and Asia. The journal publishes peer-reviewed articles on the human and environmental impacts of regional integration processes. It disseminates conceptual and empirical research (articles) and normative analysis (Leadership Forum) of topics related to human and environmental security, social cohesion, and governance. The journal facilitates a cross-regional intellectual dialogue on timely political, social and environmental issues from a regional perspective and is especially committed to publishing scholarship from emerging/transition countries and developing states. Its multilingual (English, Spanish and French) and interdisciplinary character contribute to the journal’s originality in providing an inclusive forum for scholars and practitioners in different world regions to engage in important international discussions related to sustainable human development. This dialogue reflects RISC’s mission of connecting scholars and practitioners from different world regions who otherwise would not have the opportunity to interact.
