A Agenda 2030 enquanto fator de convergência política: uma análise das instituições domésticas para a implementação dos ODS

Abstract

The present paper aims to analyze if the 2030 Agenda, beyond a global effort to set through its objectives, goals and indicators what are the strategic objectives and the expected results of the policies for the countries in the field of sustainable development, it is has been a parameter for political convergence of countries in other fields, such as the policy instruments used for the implementation of their SDG. To this end, a dialogue between the academic debate on political convergence and the debate on respect for aspects of the SDG implementation have been made. With this background, this paper analyze the institutional trajectories and characteristics present in the reports sent by the countries to the High Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development (HLPF), whose function is to follow-up and review SDG implementation, between 2016 and 2018. From this analysis, it is concluded that it is possible to observe a trend among countries, regardless of their respective HDI levels, to set up institutions or bodies to deal exclusively with some dimension of the SDG implementation at the national level. In addition, in this group of countries that created new institutions or bodies, an institutional model with participation of non-governamental actors and members of the upper echelon of government predominates. Thefore, the 2030 Agenda has also been a parameter for political convergence in the field of policy instruments used by countries for the implementation of their SDG.
