摘要

可持续发展目标（SDGs）隐含地将经济增长置于社会和环境可持续性之上，并将工业化、消费主义社会理想化。在探讨纠正这些立场的方法时，文章以不丹的 "国民幸福总值"（GNH）政策为例，该政策旨在协调物质繁荣、社会和环境问题以及精神和情感满足。可持续发展目标没有承认文化在可持续发展中的作用，与之不同的是，国民幸福总值追求的是一条建立在佛教启发的整体幸福观基础上的乡土之路。在现实中，"国民幸福总值 "尚未引起结构性转变，走向一个完全成熟的可持续社会。尽管如此，还是值得分析一下不丹国家是如何通过当地定义的可持续发展愿景来划分促进国民幸福总值的空间的。

Reorienting the Sustainable Development Goals: Lessons from Bhutan’s Gross National Happiness

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) implicitly prioritize economic growth over social and environmental sustainability, and idealize industrialized, consumerist societies. In delving into ways to rectify these stances, the article takes up Bhutan’s policy of Gross National Happiness (GNH), which seeks to harmonize material prosperity, social and environmental concerns, and spiritual and emotional contentment. Unlike the SDGs that fail to acknowledge culture’s role in sustainable development, GNH pursues a vernacular pathway founded on a Buddhism-inspired holistic view of well-being. In reality, GNH is yet to elicit a structural shift toward a fully-fledged sustainable society. Nonetheless, it is worth analyzing how the Bhutanese state demarcates the space within which GNH is promoted, with recourse to a locally defined vision of sustainable development.
