DOES THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS LEAD TO A SUSTAINABLE WORLD? CORE CONCEPTS AND CROSS CUTTING ISSUES

Keywords: Sustainable Development Goals, barriers and opportunities, implementing SDGs, wartime

Abstract

The challenges associated with implementing SDGs at the state level require a thoughtful consideration of contemporary economic theories, interdisciplinary collaboration, and innovative approaches such as the Landscape Approach. Understanding the influence of neoliberal economic agendas, refining implementation frameworks, and embracing dynamic, adaptive strategies will be essential for navigating the complex landscape of sustainable development. The challenges in implementing Sustainable Development Goals are intricate and diverse, ranging from political and bureaucratic hurdles to financial and social complexities. Collaborative efforts, transparency, and transformative changes are essential to overcome these challenges and make meaningful progress toward achieving sustainability objectives. Additionally, in the context of the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine, the barriers and opportunities are highlighted across various dimensions, encompassing economic, environmental, and geopolitical aspects.
