Maybe if you've heard of them, put your hand up.

If you, without looking at the wall, can list all 17.

如果不用看牆上的話，可以說出全部 17 項。

I was going to say, if you could list them in order of the colors of the rainbow.

我本來想說，如果可以按照彩虹的顏色順序說出來的話。

So we're going to just start with sort of five or ten minutes to talk a little bit about what these things are called, the SDGs.

所以我們要花個五到十分鐘，稍微聊一下這些東西叫做什麼，也就是 SDGs。

Obviously a lot of people have shown up today, which I'm super excited about, but it would be good to have a bit of a baseline understanding.

顯然今天來了很多人，這讓我很興奮，但如果大家對 SDGs 有個基本的瞭解會更好。

So the Sustainable Development Goals were launched and adopted in September of 2015 by all 193 UN member states.

所以，可持續發展目標是在 2015 年 9 月由所有 193 個聯合國會員國發起並採用的。

It was a process that draw to conclusion.

Three years of fairly robust community consultation, which saw over 8 million people discuss and frame out the issues that mattered most in their communities and on the planet.

三年來，經過相當扎實的社區諮詢，有超過八百萬人討論並勾勒出對他們社區和地球最重要的議題。

They ended up with 17 goals, but they raised 300 issues through that community consultation process.

他們最終訂定了 17 個目標，但在社區諮詢過程中，他們提出了 300 個議題。

And so tucked within each of these 17 goals is actually a great deal of thought, a great deal of consultation.

所以，在這 17 個目標裡，其實蘊含了大量的思考和諮詢。

And this really is meant to represent a best guess, I guess, at the issues that matter most and the things that if we were to achieve them over the next 12 years, would fundamentally transform the planet.

這真的可以說是一種「最佳猜測」，猜測出最重要的議題，以及如果我們在未來 12 年內達成這些目標，將會徹底改變地球的事物。

Who's heard of the Millennium Development Goals?

有聽過千年發展目標的請舉手？

Who worked on the Millennium Development Goals?

有參與過千年發展目標的請舉手？

Who was excited by the Millennium Development Goals?

有對千年發展目標感到興奮的請舉手？

This is not the first international framework.

There have been many, many international frameworks that come before it.

在它之前，其實已經有很多很多的國際框架了。

So what I wanted to do is just take a moment to understand and to share a little bit about why the SDGs are actually pretty different from the things that came before them.

所以我想花一點時間來瞭解，並跟大家分享一下，為什麼 SDGs 跟過去的框架很不一樣。

Because we know that the UN has a tendency to produce exceptional frameworks.

因為我們知道，聯合國其實很會推出很棒的框架。

And then when we don't meet those goals, you know, two years in advance, we start producing another exceptional framework with a longer timeline.

然後當我們沒有達成目標時，你知道的，提早兩年，我們就會推出另一個時間更長的、很棒的框架。

And the SDGs are actually a little bit different.

So again, I mentioned the Millennium Development Goals.

所以，我剛剛有提到千年發展目標。

These were not a set of goals that landed in any particularly significant way in Canada, unless you were working within the international development sector.

這些目標在加拿大並沒有引起什麼太大的迴響，除非你是國際發展領域的從業人員。

And even then our engagement was largely focused on kind of bilateral aid.

即使是這樣，我們的參與也主要集中在雙邊援助。

So I wanted to paint a little bit of a picture about how the Millennium Development Goals are quite different from the SDGs, even though they're both three letter acronyms that sound pretty similar to one another.

所以我想稍微描繪一下，千年發展目標跟 SDGs 有多麼不一樣，儘管它們都是三個字母的縮寫，聽起來很相似。

So first and foremost, the Millennium Development Goals were an agenda that focused on what we would have called, and still call in some contexts, developing countries.

所以首先，千年發展目標是一個聚焦在我們過去（在某些情況下現在也還是）稱為開發中國家的議程。

This was really meant to be an agenda that helped address challenges being faced by developing countries.

這真的意在成為一個協助解決開發中國家所面臨挑戰的議程。

And Canada's role was really as a bilateral funder to help other countries develop.

加拿大的角色主要是作為雙邊資助者，協助其他國家發展。

We've learned a lot in the international development context through the years that this is really not inappropriate context and in fact that many of the issues that are being faced in developing countries are issues we experience here at home as well.

這些年來，我們在國際發展領域學到很多，這其實並不是不恰當的脈絡，事實上，開發中國家面臨的許多問題，也是我們在家裡經歷的問題。

And so unlike the Millennium Development Goals, which were really about Canada looking at other places and trying to help, the SDGs are really a universal agenda.

所以，與千年發展目標不同，千年發展目標是加拿大關注其他地方並試圖提供協助，而 SDGs 確實是一個普世的議程。

They are both domestic and they are international in nature.

它們同時具有國內性和國際性。

So this is really a set of goals that we need to think about in the context of our own organizations, our own communities, and in the context of Canada, as well as an agenda that can really help us think through our meaningful engagement with countries around the world.

所以這確實是一套我們需要在我們自己的組織、我們自己的社區、以及加拿大的脈絡下思考的目標，同時也是一個能真正幫助我們思考如何與世界各國進行有意義互動的議程。

At the end of the day, we're going to talk a little bit about data today, but really I want to talk more about the kind of high level opportunity that the SDGs present.

歸根究柢，我們今天會談論一些數據，但實際上我更想談談 SDGs 所呈現的高層次機會。

The indicator coverage of the Millennium Development Goals wasn't particularly substantive.

千年發展目標的指標涵蓋範圍並沒有特別實質。

They were focused on a specific set of 8 goals, 21 targets, and underpinned with 60 indicators.

它們聚焦於特定的 8 個目標、21 項指標，並以 60 個數據為基礎。

The SDGs again are a much more robust data set.

SDGs 再次提供了更強健的數據集。

So it gives us actually a unique and much deeper opportunity to understand our impact as organizations, as communities, as a country.

所以這確實給了我們一個獨特且更深入的機會，去理解我們作為組織、社區、國家所產生的影響。

But underneath those 17 goals are a really deeply interconnected set of 169 targets and 230 indicators.

但在這 17 個目標之下，有著真正深度連結的 169 項指標和 230 個數據。

And what's actually most important is not the number of targets and indicators that they are, but, but how the SDGS requires us to think about data.

而實際上最重要的不是目標和數據的數量，而是 SDGs 要求我們如何思考數據。

The slogan of the SDGs we can problematize the language is leave no one behind.

SDGs 的口號，我們可以質疑這個說法，是「不遺漏任何人」。

But what that means from a data perspective is that in past indicators, if we were to take the Millennium Development Goals and look internally, or if we take the Livable Cities Index or any of the indices around the world through rose colored glasses, Canada's often pretty high up on that list.

但從數據的角度來看，這意味著在過去的指標中，如果我們以千年發展目標為例，從內部審視，或者我們戴著玫瑰色眼鏡看看「宜居城市指數」或世界上任何其他指數，加拿大經常名列前茅。

Education is good, health care is good, there are economic opportunities, et cetera.

教育很好，醫療保健很好，有經濟機會等等。

Except if you disaggregate that data and you look at sub populations, you look at people that are traditionally marginalized.

除非你將數據細分，看看不同的次級人口，看看那些傳統上被邊緣化的人。

If you look at Canada's indigenous populations and communities, we are failing outright and abysmally.

如果我們看看加拿大的原住民人口和社區，我們就徹底失敗了，而且是慘敗。

And so what the SDGS requires is actually that this data doesn't paint an aggregate picture of how Canada is doing on these 17 goals, but actually requires us to look at every single subpopulation including those that are most traditionally and historically marginalized.

所以 SDGs 實際上要求的是，這些數據不能只描繪加拿大在這些 17 個目標上的總體情況，而是要求我們關注每一個次級人口，包括那些傳統上和歷史上最被邊緣化的人群。

And if we fail to meet the goals for any one of those populations, we have failed.

如果我們無法為其中任何一個人口群體實現目標，我們就失敗了。

We know that if we want to get towards meeting some of these very complex challenges, this isn't something that any individual organization, any individual sector or group is going to be able to accomplish.

我們知道，如果我們想克服一些非常複雜的挑戰，這不是任何單一組織、任何單一部門或團體能夠獨立完成的。

It really needs to be cross sectoral, cross place, cross definition agenda.

這確實需要一個跨部門、跨地域、跨定義的議程。

The SDGs break down silos between places.

This is a set of goals for our community, for Canada and for the world.

這是一套為我們的社區、為加拿大、為世界設定的目標。

It breaks down silos between definitions.

There are a lot of different definitions of sustainability.

And we could spend the whole morning and the whole day trying to figure out what it is, but at a really high level.

我們可以花一整個上午和一整天的時間來弄清楚它到底是什麼，但從一個非常宏觀的角度來看。

This is one of the most robust definitions of sustainability insofar as it actually defines sustainability through its environmental or ecological, its economic and its social dimensions.

這是最穩健的可持續性定義之一，因為它實際上是透過環境或生態、經濟和社會層面來定義可持續性。

And so this is a much broader definition than we might have used historically.

所以這比我們過去可能使用的定義要廣泛得多。

When we think about environmental sustainability or when we use sustainability in the context of international development, it breaks down silos between the issues.

當我們思考環境可持續性，或是在國際發展的脈絡中使用可持續性時，它打破了議題之間的隔閡。

Yes, there are 17 goals, but as you go down into the indicators and sub indicators, you can actually see how interconnected those goals are.

是的，有17個目標，但當你深入到指標和次指標時，你就能看到這些目標是如何相互關聯的。

So this isn't just about bringing together poverty reduction agencies to work better together on poverty, bringing together food insecurity or hunger focused agencies to work better on reducing food insecurity in Canada or globally.

這不只是關於讓減貧機構在減貧方面更好地合作，讓關注糧食不安全或飢餓的機構在加拿大或全球更好地減少糧食不安全。

It is really about breaking down the silos between all of these issues and recognizing how interconnected they are and how interconnected our relationship with land, nature and ecology is with our relationship to the place that we live in cities and communities.

這真的關乎打破所有這些議題之間的隔閡，並認識到它們之間的相互關聯，以及我們與土地、自然和生態的關係，與我們在城市和社區生活的地方的關係是多麼相互關聯。

This is an agenda that actually requires policy coherence and interdepartmental participation.

這是一個真正需要政策協調和跨部門參與的議程。

Community Foundations Canada is based in Ottawa.

Community Foundations Canada 位於渥太華。

But this is actually a major challenge for the federal government right now because it requires one hand to know what the other is doing.

但這對聯邦政府來說其實是一大挑戰，因為這需要各部門之間互相協調。

It requires that when one policy is formulated, it isn't obstructing another policy and it isn't obstructing our collective ability to work as a country forward towards advancing these goals.

這要求當制定一項政策時，不能阻礙另一項政策，也不能阻礙我們國家朝著實現這些目標的集體能力。

The SDGs, again, were built with all sectors in mind.

SDGs，再次強調，是考慮到所有部門而建立的。

And while I would love to say that civil society was at the heart of that and that we really were driving the agenda from day one in September of 2015, actually the private sector was some of the first organizations globally to sign onto this agenda.

雖然我很想說公民社會是其中的核心，而且我們從 2015 年 9 月的第一天就真正推動了這個議程，但實際上，私營部門是全球最早響應這項議程的組織之一。

And there are large multilateral organizations that recognize that this is the future that we need that are actually not only thinking about their CSR activities, but fundamentally rethinking about how they're running their business so that they are producing less of the negative externalities that they might have produced in past years.

還有許多大型多邊組織認識到這是我們需要的未來，他們不僅在思考企業社會責任活動，更從根本上重新思考他們的營運方式，以便減少過去可能產生的負面外部性。

And lastly, it's an attempt at breaking down silos between people.

最後，這是試圖打破人與人之間的隔閡。

Again, we talked a little bit about the leave no one behind adage.

再一次，我們稍微談到了「不遺漏任何人」的格言。

This is really an agenda that was built through participation and community consultation at a scale that the UN had never undertaken before.

這真的是一個透過參與和社群諮詢建立的議程，其規模是聯合國前所未有的。

This was driven by community and it really requires the participation of everybody if we're actually going to get towards meeting these goals by 2030.

這是由社群推動的，如果我們真的要在 2030 年達成這些目標，就真的需要大家的參與。

Simply put, the SDGs are a shared language, or at least a best attempt at a shared language.

簡單來說，SDGs 是一個共同的語言，或者至少是朝向共同語言的最佳嘗試。

And while that's a pretty simple statement, it's actually pretty transformative when you think about what it means for our ability to work again across geographies, how we can start to share knowledge, share information in a reliable and a data driven way with organizations that might be like ours, but that are operating in a different part of the world, or how we can actually think about the issues that we're facing in our communities with a common language that might be spoken by government.

雖然這聽起來很簡單，但當你思考它對我們跨越地域合作的能力有什麼意義，我們如何開始以可靠且數據驅動的方式，與可能和我們相似但在世界不同地方運營的組織分享知識、分享資訊，或者我們如何用一種政府可能使用的共同語言來思考我們社區面臨的問題時，這其實是相當具變革性的。

I've been spending years trying to figure out government speak.

我花了多年時間試圖理解政府的說法。

I haven't gotten there yet, so there might actually be a shared language there or to connect with the private sector.

我還沒完全搞懂，所以也許那裡真的存在一種共同語言，或者能與私營部門建立連結。

Recently a guy named Arthur Bull came up to me.

最近有位名叫 Arthur Bull 的先生來找我。

He runs the Rural Nova Scotia Community foundation.

他是 Rural Nova Scotia Community foundation 的負責人。

And he said, JP, we're all about the SDGs in rural Nova Scotia.

他說，JP，在 Rural Nova Scotia，我們一切都以 SDGs 為核心。

That kind of shocked and surprised me at this early stage in the game.

這在遊戲的早期階段，讓我很震驚也很意外。

And he said, we've been fighting a battle to protect oceans and fisheries for three decades and nobody's been listening.

他說，我們為了保護海洋和漁業奮鬥了三十年，但沒人聽進去。

And we for the first time have an opportunity to speak the same language as others in our community about the importance of protecting oceans.

我們第一次有機會和社區裡的其他人說著同樣的語言，談論保護海洋的重要性。

And of course, it's an attempt at a shared measurement system.

這當然也是一個共享衡量系統的嘗試。

We don't all have to pivot and measure to the SDGs, but we can triangulate using the SDGs.

我們不一定要全部都轉向並以 SDGs 來衡量，但我們可以利用 SDGs 來進行三角測量。

And so very quickly we can understand how one organization's work compares to another and build a picture that is cohesive enough to really get to the root of where the gaps are as we think about this 12 year journey we're going to be on connected to the SDGs.

這樣我們就能很快了解一個組織的工作與另一個組織相比如何，並建立一個足夠連貫的圖像，讓我們在思考這趟與 SDGs 相關的十二年旅程時，真正找到差距的根源。

So that brings us to the question of how Canada is doing guesses.

那麼，這就帶我們到這個問題：加拿大做得怎麼樣，猜猜看？
