A Postulate for Accelerated Implementation of Sustainable Development Goals and Principles

A Postulate for Accelerated Implementation of Sustainable Development Goals and Principles AbstractThe last 30-year period has been increasingly important for sustainable development, as is evidenced by the UN’s announcement of 17 Sustainable Development Goals to be achieved by 2030. However, many megatrends continue to progress in the direction opposite to that meeting the needs of sustainable development. For the Earth and human civilisation to be protected, it is necessary for a new approach to be developed - a new order that might be termed the civilization/economics of enough, or of moderation. However, convincing societies, including that of Poland, in regard to the benefits of addressing the challenges sustainable development poses is not an easy task; even though a redirecting of the economy and of society along new paths will bring measurable benefits capable of compensating for the costs of transformation. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Papers on Global Change IGBP de Gruyter

Abstract

AbstractThe last 30-year period has been increasingly important for sustainable development, as is evidenced by the UN’s announcement of 17 Sustainable Development Goals to be achieved by 2030. However, many megatrends continue to progress in the direction opposite to that meeting the needs of sustainable development. For the Earth and human civilisation to be protected, it is necessary for a new approach to be developed - a new order that might be termed the civilization/economics of enough, or of moderation. However, convincing societies, including that of Poland, in regard to the benefits of addressing the challenges sustainable development poses is not an easy task; even though a redirecting of the economy and of society along new paths will bring measurable benefits capable of compensating for the costs of transformation.
