This journal entry if for the preliminary presentation of The World SDG to the UN’s Open Working Group on the SDG’s. \u00a0<\/em>See also the final World SDG<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0proposal on\u00a0the global application of the general principle, that\u00a0we all are r<\/strong>esponsible for our shares of the abuses of the economy as a whole<\/strong><\/span> …<\/strong> in proportion to our owning, investing in and using it<\/strong><\/span>.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

The World SDG<\/a><\/strong> uses a method of calculation for any person’s or business’s share of world GDP, for estimating their total share of \u00a0responsibility for world economic impacts as “users<\/strong>” called “Scope-4 Accounting<\/a><\/strong>“. \u00a0<\/em>The legal view of responsibility<\/span><\/strong> is different from “cause and effect”<\/strong><\/span> in that, legally, both the people paying for, benefiting from or authorizing a tort harm may all be held as equally responsible as the person actually doing the harm, as familiar for hiring others to commit a crime.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

A “World SDG”
\nguiding decision maker choices for\u00a0the Sustainable Development Goals<\/em><\/h4>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

We have always needed an SDG for reducing our global footprint by a method that thoughtfully manages the global systems, many of which behave so independently as to have “minds of their own”. \u00a0 We now have two good scientific methods of measuring our local responsibilities for global footprints, in broad spectrum. \u00a0That information will FAR more rationally steer the decision making of global markets, and give regulators and consumers a FAR better understanding of what their decisions mean, than the scanty and mostly quite subjective information on how our world works we now have. \u00a0 So defining the SDG for reducing our global footprints in general, as a way to let every part know how to steer their part of the whole … \u00a0becomes possible.<\/p>\n
