In 2015, world leaders attempted to tackle humanity’s biggest problems by establishing the Sustainable Development Goals – a compilation of 169 goals to be achieved by 2030. Every conceivable admirable goal has been added to the list: eradicating poverty and disease, ending wars and climate change, protecting biodiversity and improving education.
In 2023 we are halfway across the 2016-2030 time horizon, but we are nowhere near halfway to achieving our stated goals. With current progress, we will reach them half a century too late.
What is the root cause of our failure? Our inability to prioritize. It makes little difference whether we have 169 goals or none at all.
