The essay tends to focus on the investigation into the changing sustainable development trend. It is important to know which areas have seen the greatest progress and which areas have stalled or even regressed around the globe. The researchers will compare and combine the modernization theory and dependency theory to figure out the potential factors which result in the different levels of achievement between all the 17 sustainable development goals (SDG). The researcher team are more likely to adopt both qualitative method and quantitative method to ensure the accuracy of the conclusion. In addition, due to the fact that the primary data related to this topic is too broad to obtain, the scientific group will mostly employ secondary data from the United Nations to carry out the research. Most of the data in the essay are from various United Nations documents and reports to ensure the authenticity and objectivity of the data. It allows the researchers to pay more attention on the specific analysis. Lastly, the goal of this paper is to find out the basic laws of sustainable development by looking for the unique representative parts of the 17 SDG goals (Basic education, Food safety, Life below water, etc.) and analysing their development trends in the past few years. In addition, the researchers tend to work out suggestions and solutions to those problems.

This study aims to explore sustainable development achievements and shortcomings of Azerbaijan since independence by examining sustainability impacts of policies according to the Four Capital Model. Secondary data was collected by reviewing many sources including scholarly articles, reports from international organizations, pieces of legislation, policy papers and government publications recording progress on development goals. In addition, primary data was collected by conducting in-depth interviews with two policymakers and two private sector representatives. Findings demonstrates that while Azerbaijan has fared relatively well in social aspects of sustainable development, economy and environment are areas where much progress remains to be achieved. Specifically, oil dependence of the economy needs to be diversified, domestic and foreign investment needs to be stimulated, and health care and social protection systems needs to be improved. Regarding sustainable energy, the study recommends Azerbaijan to utilize its available renewable energy sources and continue improving energy efficiency.

The 17 Sustainable Development Goals officially come into force upon the signing of 193 countries arranged by the United Nations, and the time duration for achieving the goals is 2030. In view of the goals, this study redefines the process of 6 SDGs: (1) no poverty; (2) zero hunger; (3) quality education; (4) gender equality; (5) peace, justice, and strong institutions; and (6) partnership for the goals. The signing countries are not legally bound to achieve the goals. It comes into force as gentlemen commitment. For the purpose of study, secondary data, bulletin, papers, articles, holy books, and in-depth interviews with some experts based on open-ended questionnaires have been taken. Upon analyzing the study, the authors found that to achieve the SDG competition for good works understanding that work is worship, sharing prosperity in terms of monetary and non-monetary aspects like knowledge with poor and marginal people, truthfulness in education with opportunity for all, building mindset for treating all genders as human, transparency and justice from court as well as social leaders, trust among all stakeholders in enterprise, corporation, society, and state are essentially required. The study has also shown that happiness comes to mind when a person can pay for others. These will also be supportive for achieving all other SDGs.

Many countries have fronted tourism as a tool for achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in their voluntary national reviews. Nevertheless, very few studies have examined how the tourism industry has been localising SDGs. Therefore, this study is borne out of that knowledge gap. A qualitative approach comprising the use of primary and secondary data from integrated annual reports was adopted. The study found some progress made by hotel companies in localising SDGs. It emerged that Cresta Hotels and the African Sun group of hotels are only at the inception stage of SDG localisation, focusing on several SDGs that respond to the socio-economic and environmental demands of the environments they work in. Given that most of the work under the SDGs only began inception between 2018 and 2019, there is still a long way to go before meaningful progress can be reported regarding SDG localization, with preliminary evidence showing that the hotel industry is likely to have made significant inroads when the SDGs lapse in 2030 if their efforts are not disturbed by the COVID-19 pandemic. The study recommends continuous monitoring and support for the sector as the SDG framework offers a better and more focused sector to achieve sustainable and responsible tourism in Zimbabwe and Botswana.

The United Nations Agenda 2030 contains 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs). These goals are formulated in anthropocentric terms, meaning that they are to be achieved for the sake of humans. As such, the SDGs are neglecting the interests and welfare of non-human animals. Our aim in this paper was to ethically evaluate the assumptions that underlie the current anthropocentric stance of the SDGs. We argue that there are no good reasons to uphold these assumptions, and that the SDGs should therefore be reconsidered so that they take non-human animals into direct consideration. This has some interesting implications for how we should understand and fulfil the pursuit of sustainability in general. Most noticeably, several SDGs—such as those regarding zero hunger (SDG 2), good health and wellbeing (SDG 3), clean water and sanitation (SDG 6)—should be achieved for animals as well. Moreover, the measures we undertake in order to achieve the SDGs for humans must also take into direct account their effects on non-human animals.
