What are your opinions on the UN SDG’s?
Hey all! I was at a science and technology exhibition in Bangkok today, and came across these. It made me wonder, are the SDGs and related efforts more about appearances and greenwashing, rather than truly transformative action?
I know many in the permaculture community are skeptical of top-down approaches and large-scale initiatives, often seeing them as disconnected from the practical, grassroots work. I understand this perspective.
But I’m genuinely curious to hear more nuanced viewpoints. Do you think the SDGs can offer any real benefits, perhaps by raising awareness or providing a framework for more sustainable development, even if imperfect? Or is the focus on these broad goals ultimately a distraction from the more fundamental shifts needed at a local level?
Have any of you seen examples, positive or negative, of the SDGs influencing permaculture or related movements in a meaningful way? Looking forward to a thoughtful discussion and hearing your balanced opinions.
Cheers from Bangkok!
