• Healthy and productive ecosystems
• The current level of biodiversity has to be
maintained and ecosystem services have to be
provided for humanity via better management
than currently.
• Governance for sustainable society
• Current institutes are not suitable for the sustainable control of the society, therefore institutes have to be transformed at every level in
order to achieve the aims described above.
All the above cannot be changed without
transforming the economy.
If the recommendations of Griggs et al. (2013)
are compared to SDGs accepted in 2015, all of
them appear in the UN document including the
six aims described above. These partial aims can
be interpreted, so that those elements of MDG
that have not been implemented yet have to be set
again for implementation, frequently with
requirements stricter than before. Considering
the goals listed in Fig. 6.2, affordable energy supply, environmentally sound and secure infrastructure, sustainable cities and settlements and
strengthening of the means necessary for implementing the goals are extra compared to the
MDGs.
UN member states negotiated and discussed
the tasks of the 17 SDGs and in 2015 all of the
states agreed to contribute to the realisation of the
goals. According to the idea, all governments
prepare the way of realisation for their own country. Transforming Our World 2030 presents an
ideal world the realisation of which would be
welcomed by everyone. A world without poverty,
starvation, diseases and privation and in which

Goals (MDGs) with conditions necessary to assure the stability of earth systems (Griggs et al. 2013)
