Abstract(s)
O agudizar dos sinais de degradação das condições ambientais tornou-se evidente nas últimas décadas, mas se cabe à humanidade decidir como usar os recursos disponíveis, tal liberdade surge progressiva e inextricavelmente cerceada pela complexidade ecológica e pela ética da responsabilidade que, à medida que os novos valores ecológicos vingaram, parece ter-se instalado. Assim, é numa perspetiva que postula maior eficácia na ação, maior capacidade de monitorização e maior integração das várias dimensões do desenvolvimento sustentável que emergiram os Objetivos de Desenvolvimento Sustentável e decorreu a COP 21 de que resultou o Acordo de Paris. Importa, ainda assim, perguntar, a partir de uma análise crítica dos dois eventos, se as flagrantes e crescentes desigualdades socioeconómicas, que se repercutem nos vários níveis de governança, não impedirão o progresso desta estratégia de generalização de objetivos. Procurando responder a esta questão, teremos em conta que, se nos últimos anos uma sensação de desesperança e fatalismo parece ter impregnado a vida moderna, não deixa de ser igualmente verdade que a consolidação da ideia de desenvolvimento sustentável global e, agora, a monitorização admitida podem potenciar a mudança ambicionada.
The heightening of the signs environmental conditions degradation process has become evident in recent decades, but if it is up to humanity to decide how to use available resources, such freedom comes progressive and inextricably curtailed by ecological complexity and the ethics of responsibility reinforced in contemporary societies by the emergence of new ecological values. Thus, it is in a perspective that posits more practical action, greater capacity for monitoring and greater integration of the various dimensions of sustainable development that emerged two fundamental tools of sustainability transition: Sustainable Development Goals and COP 21 from which the Paris Agreement resulted. Therefore, from a critical analysis of the two events, one demand if the gross and growing socio-economic inequalities, which are reflected in the various levels of governance, cannot prevent the progress of this strategy and generalization of the objectives. To address this question, we will sustain that, in recent years, a sense of hopelessness and fatalism seems to have permeated modern life but, at the same time, the consolidation of global sustainable development idea and, now, the accepted monitoring scheme may potentiate the coveted change.
