Deep sustainable model
Introduction
The Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN) was launched in 2012 as part of then-UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon's initiatives to promote sustainable development. The purpose of the SDSN was to mobilize global scientific and technological knowledge to address the challenges of sustainable development and establish indicators, including the design and implementation of the post-2015 global sustainable development agenda (known as Agenda 2030 or Sustainable Development Goals).[1][2] In September 2018, former minister Miguel Ángel Moratinos led the SDSN in Spain.[3].
SDSN Regional Platform in Southeast Asia
The SDSN is considered worldwide as a space to promote and share sustainable development solutions. It is therefore essential for emerging economies. Particularly in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) countries, these solutions minimize negative impacts on the environment, create jobs, enable inclusive growth and help eradicate poverty.
In October 2013 the SDSN regional platform in Southeast Asia and Indonesia (SDSN-SEA) was launched by the then President of the Republic of Indonesia, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, Professor Jeffrey Sachs, Director of the Earth Institute at Columbia University and Special Advisor to the UN Secretary General, Ban Ki-moon, and the Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy of Indonesia, Mari Pangestu. The SDSN-SEA headquarters is located at the United in Diversity creative campus, Kura Kura, Bali. It is co-chaired by the aforementioned Mari Pangestu and Cherie Nursalim.
Regional Workshop 2014 (Partnership for Solutions)
The first regional workshop brought together SDSN-SEA,[4] SDSN Indonesia and SDSN Australia/Pacific in Jakarta from 26 to 27 November 2014. Leaders and experts from academia, government, business and civil society participated to discuss Indonesia's future energy needs, identify how to meet them through decarbonization, and develop collaborative solution plans.
The lead partner for the regional workshop was the Indonesian Ministry of Environment and Forestry, led by Minister Siti Nurbaya and organized by the Indonesian University Climate Change Research Centre, United in Diversity (UID) and Monash University, in partnership with the Carbon War Room, the Australia-Indonesia Center and the Harold Mitchell Foundation.[5]
