The irony of all of this is sustainability does not work with our economic system. We won't become sustainable if we keep this economic system we live in.

[smritilama]

Sustainable development is a development that accomplish the needs of present generation without compromising the abitiy of future generation to meet their own needs which doesn't not harm anyone, and natural resources but is benifit for everyone.

[jamesmiller]

Mankind is talking about sustainable development for now 40 years and did very few to reach it. I don't believe that something changed in September 2015.

[debendranathmandi]

We should be more generous towards our next future generations.
We must drive away all the shortcomings that hinder our goal to make a better world.
And, above all, we keenly do remember the proverb " There is a Will, There is a Way".
Then the world ahead us can be the Best forever.

I dont understand why all of the pictures show black people, muslim people. Isnt their any poverty in Europe or the U.S.?

And the bigwigs with money and power to stop exploitation. There may be 17 goals, but I'm looking at this in 2021 and can anyone see any difference in the world? Have any of these goals been reached? You just have to look at the ship graveyards, sorry breakers yards, on the shores of India or to the exploitation of children to mine for the minerals. People want electric vehicles for many different reasons, including ethical ones as we become increasingly aware of the impact of both climate change and air pollution. Yet the growing market for electric cars may be causing harm to people in one of the world’s most vulnerable countries.

A legacy of conflict and exploitation

Dangerous working conditions, risks to people’s health, and child labour are a huge problem in the cobalt mines of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).

As a critical raw material in lithium-ion battery production, cobalt is in high demand. It is needed to power smartphones, tablets, and laptops as well as electric vehicles, but it is the latter where astronomical growth risks perpetuating misery.

Two-thirds of the world’s cobalt is found in the DRC, which is one of the world’s poorest and least developed countries with a gross national income per capita of just $481.
It's sickening :-(

The first principle for sustainable development is uniting humans irrespective of their human made continents, countries, states, district, municipality, panchayat, village, colour, religion, caste, creed, economic status, sexuality, gender, etc..

I do NOT consent to ‘Sustainable Development 2030’.
I do NOT consent to ‘Agenga 21’.
I do NOT consent to ‘geo-engineering’.
In the plan there is not one word on changing the monetary system. Without changing the monetary system all of these sweet dreams are just a big lie. Of course there is no mention on monetary system because they’re the ones who came up with this plan.

[quaqmireful]

MDG has proven a success, all nations have progressed (albeit some at a slower pace) towards a better world.

More needs to be done, indeed. Hence the SDGs.

[Ghoosteny]

Even I'm question the goals and the thought of the people behind this.

[ravindertalwar]

I pray to God 🙏🙏 to bless everyone in the Global World based on Love, Light, Mutual Understanding, Peaceful Coexistence, Non Violence and Justice For All.

Hi people who go to my school I am Leo and i saw this in geography

[samhzh]

To achieve these goals we need to change the world leaders first like for example capital punishment. then we can focus on those SDG's, like we always said, example come from above

[facepalm]

Yes I can’t wait until I OWN NOTHING, and live in a pod and eat bugs for dinner, while there’s cameras and microphones in every inch of the world. Whilst I get my weekly injection to numb me from seeing what a nightmare it all is.

[samhzh]

it can achieved not by 2030 but years coming if we act and really care about our planet, like this cocomelon song, sharing is caring, , hope billionaire can found out this comment
