Good news, everybody!
Having exceeded at least some of the Millennium Development Goals, can we achieve the Global Development Goals by 2030? It’s not impossible.
And there are some good ones – ambitious and complicated. Economic growth by itself won’t get us there – it helped with the Millennium Development Goal to halve poverty, obviously, but it isn’t enough to achieve the GDGs. However, some countries (New Zealand is one) manage social progress that’s above what you’d predict just from the trendline based on GDP.
“Business as usual” won’t get us there. Every country in the world needs to prioritize social progress and equality if we’re going to make it. So that’s what we, as citizens, need to demand.
