Les éditeurs et revues scientifiques doivent considérer les SDG des Nations Unies. The Sustainable Development Goals are a call for action by all countries – poor, rich and middle-income – to promote prosperity while protecting the planet. They recognize that ending poverty must go hand-in-hand with strategies that build economic growth and address a range of social needs including education, health, social protection, and job opportunities, while tackling climate change and environmental protection. More important than ever, the goals provide a critical framework for COVID-19 recovery.
Un document spécifique pour les éditeurs est proposé. Ce Pacte est conçu pour inciter les éditeurs à agir. Lancé en collaboration avec l’Association internationale des éditeurs, le Pacte vise à accélérer les progrès pour atteindre les Objectifs de développement durable (ODD) d’ici 2030. Les signataires aspirent à développer des pratiques durables et à agir en tant que champions des ODDs pendant la Décennie d’action (2020-2030), en publiant des livres et des revues qui contribueront à informer, développer et inspirer des actions dans ce sens.
Voici les 10 objectifs :
- Committing to the SDGs: Stating sustainability policies and targets on our website, including adherence to this Compact; incorporating SDGs and their targets as appropriate.
- Actively promoting and acquiring content that advocates for themes represented by the SDGs, such as equality, sustainability, justice and safeguarding and strengthening the environment.
- Annually reporting on progress towards achieving SDGs, sharing data and contribute to benchmarking activities, helping to share best practices and identify gaps that still need to be addressed.
- Nominating a person who will promote SDG progress, acting as a point of contact and coordinating the SDG themes throughout the organization.
