An article written by Jason Hickel published on 8th August 2015 evaluating that "the UN’s new Sustainable Development Goals aim to save the world without transforming it.nRight now global production and consumption levels are overshooting our planet’s capacity by about 50 percent each year. This is a monumental crisis, and one that proceeds from the deep logic of capitalism.
