APPENDIX: CONTRIBUTORS 243 3 4 PROLOGUE The Government of Catalonia created the CADS in 1998, entrusting it with a great responsibility and one which is strategic for our future: advising, with overarching and forward-thinking vision, on the process of sustainable development in Catalonia. The CADS' role is to advise the Government on how to incorporate sustainability in its main policies and measures. It is therefore drawing up recommendations on a highly complex matter, providing a systematic vision and ensuring that everyone in Catalan society is involved. Since its creation, the CADS has issued a great many reports, commissioned by the Government of Catalonia or on its own initiative, which now constitute a major body of knowledge and recommendations which all members of the public can consult through our website. The study of these reports and the many hours spent discussing these questions in the Council's plenary sessions have led the CADS to a concise definition of its general vision of a more sustainable Catalonia. This vision, which inspires everything the Council does, is based around three key goals: 1) Pushing forward progress on becoming a more mature, fairer, more cohesive and integrated society and a more innovative, competitive economy that uses resources more efficiently, with high levels of employment providing a decent standard of living, and with a strong business community with a global outlook. 2) Becoming a country with modern, efficient, effective and transparent public authorities and an articulate, informed public that plays an active role in the decision- making process. 3) Becoming a country that manages its natural resources, ensures the health of its ecosystems and the maintenance of their functions. A country with a quality environment that is resilient to the effects of climate change and which contributes to international efforts to ensure the sustainability of our planet. In September 2015 the General Assembly of the United Nations formally adopted The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, set out in the document Transforming our world: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. It contains 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) and 169 targets to be achieved by 2030. The Agenda is the fruit of two years intergovernmental efforts and is structured across five key areas: people, planet, prosperity, peace and partnership (this last being necessary for progress in the first four), and is based on premises which we would like to include in this preamble, given their significance: 1) The urgency of the measures needed to tackle the challenges and threats facing the sustainability of our planet. 2) The 2030 Agenda's potential for changing our current approach to the sustainability of the planet. 3) The global and universal nature of the SDGs and their targets, which must be applicable to every country (taking their current situation as the starting point). 5 4) The indivisible nature of the SDGs and targets in the 2030 Agenda, which must be met as a whole, taking an integrated approach so that no target is ignored. 5) Balancing the economic, social and environmental aspects of sustainability so that no one aspect is prioritised over the others. The 2030 Agenda and the systematic, transformational approach it proposes meshes with the view taken from the start by the CADS and strengthens our concerns about the magnitude of the challenges facing us on a global scale and in Catalonia (the two are closely intertwined). This is why the CADS has prepared this report, identifying the main challenges that, in our view, we must tackle as a country in order to successfully meet the global and common goals set out in the 2030 Agenda. If we tackle these challenges decisively we will advance towards a society that is, on a worldwide scale, fairer, more inclusive and more prosperous, where people have a decent standard of living and which respects the environmental limits of our planet. This document contains a chapter for each of the first 16 SDGs (number 17 is excluded from our analysis as it is purely instrumental in nature). Each chapter contains a short discussion of the Goal in an international and European context, followed by a brief diagnosis of each target, identifying the challenges it poses for Catalonia. Bearing in mind that the 2030 Agenda report drafted by the United Nations is intended to cover a very wide range of situations, our report states when a global target is not considered relevant to Catalonia. The report has been submitted to the Government of Catalonia so that it can be taken into consideration when the Government prepares the national plan required in response to the United Nations' 2030 Agenda. The CADS is aware that the drafting of this report is not an end in itself, but a means for ensuring that the 2030 Agenda goals are incorporated into all the Government's actions in order to ensure its transformational potential is realised. We would like to end by commenting on the hard work involved in the preparation of this report, which has been a challenge in itself, given the size of the task and the little time available (six months), and the lack of international experience to use as a benchmark. We are sincerely grateful to all the members of the Council for their extraordinary dedication over these six months, and for the involvement and support of the external experts who have helped us. They are listed at the end of this report in recognition of their contribution. We hope this report is of use to the Government of Catalonia. Ferran Rodés i Vilà Carles Ibáñez i Martí Josep Maria Serena President Member (rapporteur) Member (rapporteur) 6 INTRODUCTION At the United Nations General Assembly's summit of 25-27 September 2015, it formally adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development containing 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) and 169 targets to be achieved by 2030. The SDGs set out in the document Transforming our world: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development1 are the result of two years of intergovernmental efforts based on the outcome document of the Rio + 20 Conference held in June 2012 entitled ‘The future we want’. The new agenda for sustainable development is based on five fundamental ideas: A sense of the urgent need to achieve the SDGs, i.e. to tackle the challenges and threats facing the sustainability of our planet. The SDGs and associated targets' potential for bringing about a change to our current approach to the sustainability of the planet. The global and universal nature of the SDGs and the targets associated with each of them, which must be applicable to every country, albeit taking their current situation as the starting point.

The landscape value of these areas attracts the urban population, which contributes to local sustainable development process but also promotes construction. New businesses associated with rural multifunctionality and value-added activities related to environmental quality were identified. New residents have contributed introducing responsible patterns of consumer, eco- entrepreneurship by women, recovery of abandoned buildings and intensification of rural-urban relationships. Negative impacts such as intensive construction of second homes, with a lower use, in some areas around Cadí-Moixeró threaten biodiversity and habitat connectivity.

  • Sea Water Intrusion in Coastal Carbonate Formations in Catalonia, Spain E
    SEA WATER INTRUSION IN COASTAL CARBONATE FORMATIONS IN CATALONIA, SPAIN E. Custodio, Dr. Ind. Eng. M. Pascual, Geologist X. Bosch, Geologist A. Bayo, Geologist International Course on Groundwater Hydrology, Universitat Polit~cnica de Catalunya and Eastern Pyrenees Authority. Barcelona. Spain. Abstract Extensive carbonate formations are found along the Southern coast of Catalonia, in NE Spain. High population density and elevated water demand in small coastal basins with permanently dry creeks has put a great pressure to get water from limestones. Most wells exploit brackish water or became salt water polluted soon. Preliminary surveys show the existence of a very permeable carbonate formation near the coast that changes into a low permeability aquifer where distance to the coast line increases. In some instances cation exchange appears and shows the advancing nature of the salt water front. Two main areas are discussed, the Vandellos massif in which some deep observation wells have been drilled and the Southern part of the Garraf massif, where salinity problems are acute, and show a wide variation with areal situation. In these sites a thin fresh water layer floats on saline water, the mixing zone presenting a thickness varying from one site to another. Carbonate minerals saturation indexes are discussed. Introduction Recent interest in research into the hydrochemical processes at work in mixing zones where fresh water and salt water come into contact in coastal aquifers has given rise to a series of publications by authors 147 all over the world: Hanshaw and Back (19791; Back et al.

  • Catalan Modernism and Vexillology
    Catalan Modernism and Vexillology Sebastià Herreros i Agüí Abstract Modernism (Modern Style, Modernisme, or Art Nouveau) was an artistic and cultural movement which flourished in Europe roughly between 1880 and 1915. In Catalonia, because this era coincided with movements for autonomy and independence and the growth of a rich bourgeoisie, Modernism developed in a special way. Differing from the form in other countries, in Catalonia works in the Modern Style included many symbolic elements reflecting the Catalan nationalism of their creators. This paper, which follows Wladyslaw Serwatowski’s 20 ICV presentation on Antoni Gaudí as a vexillographer, studies other Modernist artists and their flag-related works. Lluís Domènech i Montaner, Josep Puig i Cadafalch, Josep Llimona, Miquel Blay, Alexandre de Riquer, Apel·les Mestres, Antoni Maria Gallissà, Joan Maragall, Josep Maria Jujol, Lluís Masriera, Lluís Millet, and others were masters in many artistic disciplines: Architecture, Sculpture, Jewelry, Poetry, Music, Sigillography, Bookplates, etc. and also, perhaps unconsciously, Vexillography. This paper highlights several flags and banners of unusual quality and national significance: Unió Catalanista, Sant Lluc, CADCI, Catalans d’Amèrica, Ripoll, Orfeó Català, Esbart Català de Dansaires, and some gonfalons and flags from choral groups and sometent (armed civil groups).

  • Great Recession and Disability in Spain
    Great Recession and Disability in Spain Sergi Jiménez-Martín Arnau Juanmartí Mestres Judit Vall CAstelló April 2016 Barcelona GSE Working Paper Series Working Paper nº 896 Great Recession and Disability in Spain1 Sergi Jiménez-Martín2 Arnau Juanmarti Mestres3 Judit Vall Castelló4 Abstract In this paper we evaluate the impact of the business cycle on participation in the Disability Insurance (DI) program in Spain in the context of the Great Recession, which has been particularly strong in this country. We follow two approaches. First, we use regional administrative data to estimate the effect of the regional unemployment rate on the number of applications, denials and allowances to the DI rolls. Second, we use longitudinal panel data to estimate the effect of the business cycle on transitions from different labor market states to the DI rolls. Our results show a pro-cyclical behavior of participation in DI during the years of the Great Recession. This is in contrast to the countercyclical response documented both for other countries as well as for Spain before 2008. We document some facts that partially explain why DI benefits have become pro instead of countercyclical during the Great Recession in Spain. Our results provide valuable evidence for policy-makers as they highlight that some of the disabled population may be left economically uncovered during the worst of times. KEY WORDS: Disability, Great Recession, labour market transitions JEL CLASSIFICATION: I13, I38, J14. 1 We gratefully acknowledge financial support from Recercaixa for the 2014 project “Promoting the labour market integration of disabled workers: a policy evaluation exercise for Spain" and from the Spanish Ministry of Economy grant ECO2014-52238-R.
