'Systemic greenwash', scientists ask to ditch SDGs
More than one hundred scientists are calling on the United Nations to ditch the 17 Sustainable Development Goals, or SDGs. According to the signatories of a joint letter, the world’s problems cannot be solved with the same ideology that created them.
SDG failure to have immense impact on investments
Two thirds of the UN sustainable development goals are in danger of not being achieved, warned Ben Constable-Maxwell of M&G. In some areas, great strides are indeed being made in the right direction, but in the area of hunger and poverty, the Covid pandemic has caused a setback.
Covid-19 major setback for SDGs
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDG’s) are guiding the investment process of an increasing number of strategies and funds. But Covid-19 has negatively impacted most of the SDGs.
According to a recent study by M&G, Covid-19 has significantly slowed global progress towards the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDSs), five years after their launch.
