SDGs for All: Strategic Scenarios. Earth4All System Dynamics Modelling of SDG Progress
Summary
The report examines SDG progress in the light of Earth4All’s five extraordinary turnarounds – poverty, inequality, empowerment, food and energy – and against the scenarios that lie at the core of the Earth4All model: Too Little Too Late, where societies maintain the types of economic policies that have been in place for decades, and the Giant Leap, a scenario where societies make ambitious decisions and investments today which collectively enhance social cohesion, build trust and establish a new social contract between people and the state. The authors conclude that policymakers can step up the implementation of the SDGs by 2030 and beyond and achieve wellbeing for all. But this is only possible by enacting the five ‘extraordinary turnarounds’ that break with current trends.
