Sustainable development goals-assessment and relationships

Abstract

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) agreed on in the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development are a great step forward and improve the Millennium Development Goals. They address some systemic barriers to sustainable development and contain a better balance between the three dimensions of sustainable development-social, economic and environmental. The main goal of this chapter is to present the goals of sustainable development from the perspective of those set at the moment of the emergence of ideas to those indicated as future, far-reaching. It contains the characteristics of the goals of sustainable development both in historical cross-section as well as from the point of view of its three dimensions as well as the functions occurring in the organisation and the expectations of stakeholders. It aims to show how each of the current 17 SDGs can be characterised as an objective attributed to an environmental, economic or social system. And allow you to look at the goals of sustainable development from different perspectives, depending on the area in which the companies operate.
