Descrizione del progetto
Spezzare il predominio del PIL per lo sviluppo sostenibile
Nella ricerca dello sviluppo sostenibile, sono diventati evidenti i limiti associati all’affidarsi esclusivamente al PIL come misura del progresso; il raggiungimento degli obiettivi di sviluppo sostenibile delle Nazioni Unite e l’allineamento con le politiche di sostenibilità ambientale e sociale dell’UE richiedono in effetti un approccio più completo. Tuttavia, le evidenze esistenti sulle misure alternative sono frammentarie e impediscono la creazione di un quadro unificato. La mancanza di consenso sugli indicatori e sui quadri politici rappresenta un grosso ostacolo alla definizione e al monitoraggio di obiettivi efficaci in tal senso. In questo contesto, il progetto MERGE, finanziato dall’UE, si propone di promuovere il dialogo. In qualità di iniziativa collaborativa, MERGE riunisce ricercatori di spicco e comunità di punta allo scopo di facilitare il dialogo e lo scambio di conoscenze.

However, the evidence on alternative approaches is fragmented and the lack of consensus on competing indicators and policy frameworks is a major obstacle to setting policy goals that promote multi-dimensional well-being and to monitoring and measuring progress. MERGE addresses these challenges by providing a forum for dialogue, co-creation and knowledge exchange, and by linking cutting-edge research and policy practice. A consortium of leading researchers and key communities in the field, MERGE brings together three recently launched higher education research consortia (SPES, ToBe, WISE Horizons) and an ERC grant (REAL). To scale up results, MERGE provides a framework for creating and strengthening a multidisciplinary community of researchers, a technical and knowledge network, a policy network and a network of civil society actors. Through these networks, MERGE aims to build a broad consensus on easy-to-use and acceptable indicators and frameworks for measuring multidimensional well-being within planetary boundaries in the EU and Member States, as well as in global organisations and civil society. MERGE participants will benefit from collaborative and training events, analyses, indicators, datasets and policy briefings. Through knowledge exchange, stakeholders and researchers can adopt and develop a systematic and coherent understanding of the sustainable economy paradigm in their own work.
