Reset Sustainable Development Goals for a pandemic world

Sustainable Development Goals need a reset

It’s time to rethink the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adopted by the United Nations in 2015, argue ecologists Robin Naidoo and Brendan Fisher. “The success of the SDGs depends on two big assumptions: sustained economic growth and globalization,” write ecologists Robin Naidoo and Brendan Fisher. “COVID-19 has torn these to shreds.” They recommend a smaller list of broad strategic goals that can be win–wins for sustainability and global health.
