BBC World Service: The Sustainable Development Goals — are there just too many?
“It’s now a year since the U.N. set its new Sustainable Development Goals to try to make the world a better place. They include 17 goals and a massive 169 targets on subjects like disease, education, and governance. But some people like Bjørn Lomborg are saying that there’s just too many and they are too broad, and left like that will never achieve anything. Is he right — and is there a better way to make the world better and stop some countries lagging behind? Wesley Stephenson and Charlotte McDonald find out [in this radio broadcast]” (10/10).
