Sustainable Development Goals. We are lacking dynamics!
6 March 2020
About the Event
In 2016, the international community ratified the UN’s Agenda 2030 with its 17 Sustainable Development Goals. All countries committed themselves to implement these goals through globally coordinated national strategies for sustainability until 2030. Already in 2019, we can surmise that due to lacking dynamics most goals will remain unrealized. Prominent examples are climate change, water and biodiversity. IESP dealt with the topic of climate change for the first time during its Wildbad Kreuth workshop in 2013.
Today we need to ask: why is the majority of SDGs being implemented almost tardily? Does this deficit express political inability or display a lacking volition of consumers and producers? What kind of lobbyists would sabotage an implementation of SDGs out of self-interest?
