HUMAN SECURITY, SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT AND GLOBAL GOVERNANCE

Abstract

With its universal character, human security is the main point in linking the 17 Sustainable Development Goals - 2015 to 2030 UN Agenda, because human security brings together all concerns that stimulate dialogue and cooperation among Governments, institutions and civil society towards the formulation of integrated policies to supplant the acute pains of poverty, disease, injustices, risks, disasters, crises, conflicts, crimes, violence, inequalities, manipulations, prejudices, discriminations, exclusions, intolerances, and violations of the environment, which create obstacles to human development, hindering the elevation of dignity, quality of life, and well-being allied to the degree of people's satisfaction, anywhere, anytime, from generation to generation. Without the potential of human security, there is no way to generate solid sources of values and mechanisms of governance, capable of producing the proactive performance of economic growth, social progress, and environmental protection at all levels and in all circumstances.
