The SDGs, AN OPPORTUNITY FOR ACTION IN THE TERRITORIES
The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs or Agenda 2030) were adopted in September 2015 by 193 countries at the United Nations, following the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).
These 17 goals are not limited to the protection of the environment as one might think, but cover a wide range of topics such as quality education, health and well-being, ending poverty and inequality, sustainable cities, water life, gender equality or peace and effective institutions…
The SDGs are a framework for action, a tool for raising awareness, a source of economic opportunities and a lever for multi-stakeholder collaboration.
The SDGs offer a “trajectory of meaning” to the different schemes, allowing citizens to project themselves into the future, consistent with that of the world
The 17 sustainable development goals must be achieved by 2030, which implies their appropriation and their concrete implementation in the territories.
Challenge 1: A more civic-minded, supportive and inclusive city with, in particular, the implementation of more systematic citizen consultation on structural projects or the implementation of new public services.
Challenge 2: A city that preserves its territory in synergy with biodiversity.
This is what was pursued with the port works and the implementation of innovative works to protect juveniles.
It is also within this framework that will begin the work of renaturation of the Ballaury.
Challenge 3: A city that wishes to commit to education.
In order to pursue this objective, initial contacts have been established for the launch of a study to create a third place, on the Bartissol site, which will offer, among other things, opportunities for distance learning on digital professions.
Challenge 4: A city committed to aging well and health.
To do this, the city wishes to join the “senior friendly city” approach obliging itself to carry out an inventory in partnership with the actors of the sector.
A real action plan will then be drawn up in consultation with the partners and the elderly themselves.
Challenge 5: A city committed to the economy and local employment.
Banyuls-Sur-Mer, being fortunate to have on its territory a state-of-the-art oceanological laboratory that incubates innovative start-ups, the will is to be able to keep these companies within a competitiveness cluster in connection with the blue economy.
Moreover, it is also important to improve the quality of the territory’s tourist offer by turning towards nature and its protection.
Challenge 6: Rethinking the communal organization with regard to the SDGs.
In parallel with this approach, which is intended to be partnership-based, we wish to give meaning to the actions undertaken and integrate all municipal agents so that they are made aware of, trained in the SDGs and thus demonstrate that each individual and daily action participates in transforming the territory. The SDGs are thus presented as a managerial tool that everyone can understand and implement, whatever their mission.
