While the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were inclusive in their design, the reliance on official measurement infrastructures has upheld narrow definitions of both the terms of sustainability and development. Indigenous and non-Indigenous “governance beyond the state” approaches call these definitions into question. They highlight that disaggregated official data are unable to fully reflect alternative grounds and aspirations of living sustainably with the environment and non-human world. Relational Indigenous epistemologies and practices contribute to alternative epistemic infrastructures. In this paper, three examples from the Andean-Pacific region provide an alternative lens through which to reconceptualize and remake the SDG landscape. Together this suite of cases highlights the importance of bottom-up articulation processes, knowledge inclusion, and alternative epistemic harmonization for operationalizing the SDGs. In particular, we highlight the urgent need to renegotiate the relationship between Indigenous communities and the global measurement infrastructure in order to pursue and realize global sustainability goals.

重塑可持续发展目标：相关的土著认识论

虽然可持续发展目标 (SDG) 在其设计中具有包容性，但对官方测量基础设施的依赖支持了对可持续性和发展术语的狭隘定义。土著和非土著“超越国家的治理”方法使这些定义受到质疑。他们强调，分类的官方数据无法充分反映与环境和非人类世界可持续生活的替代理由和愿望。关系土著认识论和实践有助于替代认识基础设施。在本文中，来自安第斯-太平洋地区的三个例子提供了另一种视角，通过它可以重新概念化和重塑可持续发展目标的格局。这套案例一起强调了自下而上的衔接过程的重要性，知识包容和替代认知协调以实现可持续发展目标。特别是，我们强调迫切需要重新协商土著社区与全球测量基础设施之间的关系，以追求和实现全球可持续发展目标。
