Abstract
Sport is a valuable tool for sustainable development. This is recognized in the Kazan Action Plan, in the 2030 Agenda, itself, and in the Action Plan for its implementation in Spain. In order to broaden the scope of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), it is necessary to carefully consider both the possible synergies and existing inconsistencies that can enhance and weaken the contribution of sport to sustainable development. Taking as reference the international recommendations in this regard, it will be necessary to take into account the concept of “policy coherence” in both its vertical and horizontal dimensions. Advancing in the achievement of the SDGs largely requires involving subnational governments and the rest of the stakeholders, promoting decision-making based on concrete and reliable common indicators. Starting from the methodology developed globally by the Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN) for locating the SDGs, a comparative analysis of the sports situation of each Spanish Autonomous Community will be carried out as a diagnosis. This is to show the existing inequalities between territories in relation to the selected indicators and, at the same time, identify some of the main limitations and gaps that we currently find in Spain to perform this location in a more effective way.
Highlights
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the 2030 Agenda are an agreed plan of action to achieve global development challenges by 2030
Sustainable Development Summit in September 2015, member states agreed that the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) would be succeeded by the new SDGs
To analyze SDG 3, Health and Wellbeing, we considered the percentage of people who perform sports weekly (Survey of Sports Habits), the percentage of sedentary lifestyle in leisure time (National Health Survey) and the percentage of people with federative license
Summary
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the 2030 Agenda are an agreed plan of action to achieve global development challenges by 2030. This document is universally known as the 2030 Agenda and includes these three fundamental dimensions: economic prosperity, social equality and environmental sustainability in a universal way for all countries [1]. This ambitious project requires a global perspective, multilevel policies and alliances that allow the mobilization of resources in an effective and efficient way. The appropriation of the Agenda by regional and local governments will be of vital importance, adapting the global goals to their realities and contexts through the elaboration of their own strategies These strategies should make known the content and principles of the Agenda, its universal character, its relevance and its impact. It will be necessary for these strategies or action plans to include in their methodologies monitoring and evaluation systems as well as accountability [2]
