"The researchers found that the world is currently on track to meet only
10 of the 17 SDGs by 2030. Efforts to satisfy social SDGs with
conventional policy tools will come at the price of unsustainable or
wasteful use of natural resources such as water, land and energy. Hence,
environmental goals, including stabilizing climate, reducing pollution
and maintaining biodiversity, could fall by the wayside, they say.

To prevent human civilization from more environmental damage than it
might be able to endure, the authors call on world leaders to consider
policies that they deem unconventional."
