Engaging with the SDG's missing historical perspective.
Sat, March 28, 10:30am to 12:00pm, Delta Ottawa City Centre, Floor: Conference, JolietSession Submission Type: Complete Panel
Abstract
The UN Sustainable Development Goals will be a main frame of reference when it comes to national and international environmental policies at least until 2030 in the 193 countries that have signed and ratified them. But while the SDGs are much more encompassing and inviting than the MDGs ever were, environmental historians have as yet only reluctantly taken them as a framework of reference.
In this panel, we try to critically engage with the SDGs and tease out what the unique contribution of environmental historians to the discussion of the SDGs (Agenda 2030) might be. The framework itself lacks a systematic long-time dimension which we wish to provide.
