In 2015 the United Nations set out an ambitious plan under UN
Resolution 70/1 to prioritize seventeen separate goals over a
fifteen-year period to promote health, life, equality, and the
environment. The Sustainable Development Goals include ending
poverty and hunger; Reducing Inequality; promoting good health and
well-being; quality education; gender equality; clean water and
sanitation; affordable and clean energy; decent work and economic
growth; industry, innovation, and infrastructure; sustainable
cities and communities; responsible consumption and production;
climate action; life under water; life on land; peace, justice, and
strong institutions; and developing partnerships to achieve these
goals. This book examines the way in which SDG initiatives have
been disseminated by mainstream media, in government discourse and
by NGO's, charitable organisations, and campaign groups. It
questions to what extent sustainability narratives are being
supported and how they represented; how saving the environment can
be made pertinent to someone who has no access to clean food or
running water; and why local initiatives (in which indigenous
populations are making a real difference) are overshadowed by
multinationals whose attempts to rectify the damage their goods
have done gains more credible reportage.
