Beschreibung
The UN Agenda 2030 read as an expression of a
commitment to predefined goals, raises the question of a
link, between failure to provide for needs of linguistic
inclusion on the one hand and lingering deficits of adhesion
on the other. Stated as a key factor for implementation
sensitivity to language diversity correlates positively with
inclusivity and sustainability, as this volume explains
through case studies ranging from agriculture to health,
education, human rights and ecology, and from digital
inclusion to translation and science, thus enabling
comparative advantages to turn language barriers into
interfaces for `glocal’ development.
