The 17 SDGs have served as a global development roadmap for nearly a decade, but with 2030 fast approaching, it’s clear that many of the goals will remain unmet. Meanwhile, the challenges they aim to address—climate change, inequality, poverty, and environmental degradation—are becoming increasingly urgent. In a recent commentary published in Nature, Fuso-Nerini and colleagues call for a revision of the goals—both in scope and in timeline.
“There’s a clear need to update the path toward achieving the goals,” he says. “That includes integrating net-zero emissions targets and strengthening international collaboration on the transition, all within the framework already agreed by UN member states.”
To make the SDGs meaningful beyond 2030, broader input is essential, the researchers argue. This means involving not only more scientists, but also indigenous communities, marginalized groups, and the private sector.
