SDGs for All: Strategic scenarios

Published 2023 – The SDGs for All report applies the Earth4All system dynamics model, future scenarios, and recommended pathways for change to analyse our progress towards the SDGs. It aims to equip policymakers with solutions to accelerate SDG implementation and respond to the planetary emergency. The report was created through a collaboration of  Earth4All and an international team of economists and scientists, and was published for the Foundation for European Progressive Studies (FEPS).

The report examines SDG progress in the light of Earth4All’s five extraordinary turnarounds – poverty, inequality, empowerment, food and energy – and against the scenarios that lie at the core of the Earth4All model: Too Little Too Late, where societies maintain the types of economic policies that have been in place for decades, and the Giant Leap, a scenario where societies make ambitious decisions and investments today which collectively enhance social cohesion, build trust and establish a new social contract between people and the state. The authors conclude that policymakers can step up the implementation of the SDGs by 2030 and beyond and achieve wellbeing for all. But this is only possible by enacting the five ‘extraordinary turnarounds’ that break with current trends.

Authors: Johannah Bernstein, David Collste, Sandrine Dixson-Declève, and Nathalie Spittler
