Decommodify the 2030 Agenda: Why and How to Finance What Is Not Profitable?
Abstract
:1. Introduction
2. Theoretical Framework: Art versus Commodities
3. Method: A Feasible Hypothesis
4. Results: Old Wine in New Bottles
- Target 4.7 aims to ensure the acquisition of theoretical and practical knowledge by promoting education on human rights, gender equality, global citizenship, appreciation of cultural diversity, and the contribution of culture to sustainable development. This involves creating safe, inclusive, nonviolent, and effective learning environments for all.
- Target 8.3 focuses on promoting policies to support the development of creativity and innovation, with the aim of boosting economic activity.
- Target 8.9, focused on promoting policies for sustainable tourism that emphasizes culture and local production.
- Target 11.4, focused on preserving cultural and natural heritage through fostering connections between communities, nature, and economic entities at the local and regional levels.
- Target 12.b aims to promote local culture and products for sustainable tourism, which appears to overlap with Target 8.9.
- Target 1.4 aims to ensure that all individuals, particularly the most vulnerable, have equal rights and access to basic resources and services. Although not explicitly stated, culture must be considered a basic right and service.
- Target 5.4 aims to acknowledge and recognize the value of care and unpaid domestic work through the provision of public services, infrastructure, and social protection policies. In short, it aims to make these activities visible and promote shared responsibility. The market values activities through monetization of the services it provides; that is, those that are profitable. Socializing care is an effective way to meet this goal that operates outside the market dimension.
- Target 5.5 aims to ensure complete female participation by granting women a voice and providing effective leadership opportunities across all levels of political, economic, and public life.
- Target 8.5: Achieve full and productive employment and decent work for all, including equal pay for equal work and equal pay for work of equal value, particularly for women, youth, and persons with disabilities who experience higher rates of unemployment and inactivity.
- Target 8.8, which is directly related to the previous one, aims to secure the promotion of safe and secure working environments for all workers, with a particular focus on women, migrant workers, and workers in precarious employment.
- Target 10.2 seeks to enhance and promote the social, economic, and political inclusion of all individuals, regardless of their characteristics and identities, including disability, race, ethnicity, origin, or religion, without discrimination.
- Target 11.1 aims to ensure that all individuals have access to adequate, safe, and affordable housing and basic services in communities, with a special emphasis on addressing the needs of marginalized neighborhoods.
- Target 11.3 aims to implement inclusive urbanization, participatory management, and integrated and sustainable planning for urban and rural communities.
- Target 16.1 seeks to reduce forms of violence by building capacity at all levels to prevent and combat crime.
