The Global Compact launched a campaign that prioritizes 5 areas of action: climate, gender equality, the wage gap, sustainable finance and water resilience, in which, in turn, they establish specific and measurable objectives, to promote the Global Agenda. Sustainable Development.
We are going through the era of immediacy, where technology has played a fundamental role, bringing us closer to knowledge and information from anywhere in the world and in real time. This has allowed advances in different subjects, with artificial intelligence being the best example at the moment. But we must also recognize that it may be limiting development, in other directions.
Access to the digital world has reconfigured interpersonal ties, generating a distortion. It affects attention, dialogue and habits, interfering with socialization. And although the digital era has allowed certain skills to be enhanced, it has come to the detriment of sensitivity, empathy and the capacity for interpersonal dialogue.
This concept, which describes the tendency towards instant gratification, is preventing us from setting clear goals and objectives to move towards a better future. We want immediate results, leaving aside values such as perseverance, perseverance and ethics, among other key elements to be able to have a vision of a common and shared future.
What we do today shapes our destiny, and that is why we must make intelligent decisions, with strategic views and long-term commitments.
Global Compact Argentina has built a journey for 20 years, based on long-term strategies and plans, convinced of the importance of creating a better world, and working with the conviction based on shared principles to build it. We are also convinced, based on scientific evidence and social studies, that action plans must begin to be executed more quickly. In the era of immediacy, we are lost in bureaucracy (governmental but also, by the way, business, which is little talked about).
Our proposal, at a global and local level, is one. “Let’s accelerate change” is our opportunity to press the accelerator to make the change we need a reality. For this reason, Global Compact has launched this campaign that prioritizes 5 areas of action: climate, gender equality, the wage gap, sustainable finance and water resilience, in which, in turn, they establish specific and measurable objectives, to promote the Sustainable Development Agenda.
Without a doubt, to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), leaders and activists who want to transform the world are needed. As of today, only 15% of the SDG goals have the possibility of being achieved between now and 2030.
In this context, this initiative prioritizes the 5 areas that it considers catalysts for the rest of the 2030 Agenda, allowing us Move faster.
