Appropriation must be achieved now, so that all can be dedicated to achieving the goals in the next ten years. But, we know that in all long-term exercises, delay at the beginning is difficult to catch up later. This highlights the importance of the current «work schedule». What is striking this year is the contrast between the spirit of the SDGs and the current state of the world. Remember the words of the UN Secretary-General at the 2015 Addis Ababa International Confe- rence on Financing for Development that concluded with 2030 Agenda : «The Addis Ababa Action Agenda is a major step forward in building a world of prosperity and dignity for all. It revitalises the global partnership for development, builds a strong foundation for the implementation of the post-2015 development agenda, and points the way for all stakeholders for smart investments in people and the planet where they are needed, when they are needed and at the scale they are needed.» However, three years later, the world has accentuated its «Capharnaum» dimension, to use the title of a recent film that re-enacts the denunciations of Victor Hugo in «Les Misérables». The Treaty of Paris is denounced by the first world power and the Planet’s second polluter, another treaty working towards nuclear non-proliferation is also denounced by the same country, Europe struggles to main- tain unity and its democratic regimes, a war in Syria totally destabilises the Middle East, terrorism, 124 million people in 51 countries affected by famines, particularly in Africa and the Middle East, more and more refugees, the rapid decline in biodiversity, and the great difficulty in stabilising greenhouse gas emissions... Even a peaceful country like Sweden, renowned champion of sustainable development, sends a brochure entitled «In case of crisis or war» to 4.8 million Swedish homes! Should we give up and consider that the game is lost? No! To the contrary, this situation should rally all the actors involved, because the forces for «good living» are as powerful as those of destruction. Plus the world’s youth are taking part in actions of solidarity and justice. That is why the SDGs must be described as the «bright side of globalisation», and the road map fervently respected, like a talisman of peace. 3 PREFACE That is why the SDGs must be described as the «bright side of globalisation» and the road map fervently respected, like a talisman of peace. In France, the mobilisation of the State, thanks to the efforts of the CGDD and the AFD, silenced those who were worried about the lack of state appropriation of the 2030 Agenda. We now have a road map for our country, an interministerial committee, consultation and monito- ring bodies, and the construction of indicators. It remains for the European Union to rally the next parliament and the future commission so that the SDGs become the guide and the reference for their actions. Finally, the SDGs discussed at the High-Level Political Forum (HLPF) in July 2018 are essential because they relate to terrestrial biodiversity, namely the threat to nature (SDG 15), water, whose future shortage is a crucial danger for mankind and the biosphere (SDG 6), energy, the adequate supply of which conditions both the development of many countries and controls global warming (SDG 7), cities, challenges for humanity in the 21st century (SDG 11), modes of production and consumption, by which we can evaluate the will of the population to move away from the demands of consumerism, or to arm themselves against poverty (SDG 12), and of course SDG 17, which is reviewed annually, as it conditions the partnerships and the means of implementation to support the 2030 Agenda. Comité 21, in its vocation to promote different actors, which it has assumed for more than 20 years, campaigns for non-state actors to make known, make available and implement the SDGs : they are the ones who spur on the peace agenda that the UN continues to ad- vocate. It is they who produce the common good, which is the common thread throughout the SDGs; and give us the reason to publish this second report, which will measure both the scope of the initiatives and the road ahead. A thank you to all the «parties» who have enthusiastically contributed to this report, particularly the organisations who co-piloted its preparation, namely 4D, CERDD, CFE-CGC, CliMates, Cités Unies France, Coordination Sud, ENERGIES 2050, FAGE, La Fonda, FSC, Global Compact France, IDDRI, PFE, pS-Eau, RAMEAU, UNIOPSS and Vivapolis; also to the financial partners that have enabled us to make it happen : the Delegation for relations with civil society and partnerships of the Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs, the French Agency for Biodiversity, the General Commission for Sustainable Development of the Ministry of Ecological and Solidarity Transition, Véolia, La Poste and the Caisse des Dépôts et Consignations. Finally, the president of Comité 21 salutes the passionate and painstaking commitment of the Comité 21 team to this very demanding work, especially, of course, Sarah Schönfeld, assisted by Joëlle Valleray, whom I particularly thank. 4 TABLE OF CONTENTS Table of contents Preface by Bettina Laville, President of Comité 21 .......................................................................................................... 3 Summary of the report of Comité 21 ................................................................................................................................... 6 First part : appropriation of the sdgs, by stakeholder ..................................... 11 Businesses and the private sector .................................................................................................................... 13 Trade unions ...................................................................................................................................................... 22 Non-profit stakeholders .................................................................................................................................... 25 Higher education and research stakeholders ................................................................................................... 28 Youth stakeholders ............................................................................................................................................ 32 Regional authorities .......................................................................................................................................... 35 Non Gouvernemental Organisation ................................................................................................................. 45 Second part : appropriation, sdg by sdg .....................................................................51 ODD 6 : Guaranteeing access to water and sanitation for all and ensuring Sustainablle management of water resources ................................................................................... 53 ODD 7 : Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all .................................. 66 ODD 11 : Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable ................................. 80 ODD 12 : Ensure sustainable consumption and production pattern ................................................................ 91 ODD 15 : Protect, restore and promote the sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems… .............................. 100 ODD 17 : Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalise the global partnership for sustainable development .......................................................................................................
