Sustainable development and the environment

Within the framework of the UN, seventeen Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were established in 2015, with a target date of 2030. They take into account the fact that the notion of development has been mitigated by environmental concerns since the 1990s. But these global goals raise a number of questions in a world characterised by diverse geographical realities. Do they take account of the diversity of civilizations? Different approaches to the notion of equality? The variety of geographical scales? Do they manage to resolve the issues of interaction between these seventeen objectives? Do they not highlight geopolitical contradictions? By examining the answers to these questions, we can shed light on the possibilities of applying the same sustainable development analysis grid to every country in the world.
