Sustainable Development and U.S. Opposition
Published on
In this Working Paper, Professor Jeffrey Sachs, President of SDSN, and Guillaume Lafortune, SDSN Vice President and Head of the Paris Office, address the recent and explicit opposition to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by the United States. This marks the first time since the adoption of the SDGs in 2015 that a country has publicly opposed the 2030 Agenda. The paper complements a Correspondence in Nature and explores the evidence available on countries’ commitments to the SDGs and UN-based multilateralism. The evidence is clear: the world’s majority is in favor of sustainable development.
