US Makes a U-Turn on UN Sustainable Development Goals
In a surprising plot twist on the global stage, the Trump administration has officially waved goodbye to the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that all 193 UN nations enthusiastically embraced back in 2015.
Edward Heartney from the US mission to the UN delivered the news with diplomatic flair, declaring that "the United States rejects and denounces the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development," suggesting these goals are like an unwelcome houseguest infringing on American sovereignty.
This bold move may well earn the US the distinction of being the first nation to RSVP "no thanks" to this worldwide initiative.
The 17 Sustainable Development Goals—think of them as Earth's ambitious to-do list—aimed to tackle everything from poverty to climate change by 2030. With Heartney's declaration that these goals "lost at the ballot box," the US is choreographing a graceful exit from multiple international sustainability dances, including the Paris Climate Agreement.
This policy pirouette comes just as the UN is tallying up a rather daunting $4 trillion funding gap needed to achieve these planet-saving objectives. Talk about timing!

According to Johan Rockström, Director of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, " Global GHG emissions continue to rise, with over half of all fossil CO2 emissions coming from just 36 companies, as the latest InfluenceMap findings reveal."
The analysis also found that most entities are linked to increased emissions in 2023 compared to 2022. Overall, 93 entities increased their emissions, while 73 reduced emissions and 3 maintained the same level of emissions.
