Human Rights and Territories: Academic Perceptions of the 2030 Agenda

This study is the result of the debate sessions held at the 1st International Conference on

Human Rights and Territories at the Pablo de Olavide University in Seville, aimed at analyzing the

impact and the agenda itself in the territorial and local contexts. To conduct the research, five focus

groups were organized, focusing on the five elements of the agenda: People, Peace, Planet, Prosperity,

and Partnerships, with the participation of over 30 international academics, followed by an analysis

of the recorded speeches. The results provide a critical epistemic perspective on the 2030

Agenda and its connection with territories, concluding the difficulty of establishing human rights

processes in territories from agendas that are centered from the global to the local level.
