Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The 2030 Agenda was approved in 2015, in which a total of 193 UN countries agreed on the main global challenges, assuming responsibility for addressing and ending them, with concrete actions and a shared commitment by all actors. This Agenda resulted in clear goals, the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In the new context derived from COVID-19, social and solidarity economy can play an important role in territorial and economic development, linked to the SDGs.
Social and solidarity economy entities are positioned as privileged actors toward the achievement of the SDGs, with a business model based on the primacy of people, the equitable distribution of profits or the reinvestment of profits. This model has been endorsed by numerous actors, such as the UN Inter-Agency Task Force on the Social and Solidarity Economy, the ICA, the EESC or CIRIEC International.
The aim of this Special Issue is to continue working on the importance of the social economy for the achievement of the 17 SDGs. Additionally, the possible impact of COVID-19 on the 2030 Agenda is raised as a line of work, given its economic and social impact.
