Abstract

The United Nations Organization (UN) assumes global leadership and strives for a sustainable world. Concurrently, member countries endeavor to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals outlined in 2015. However, there is a pressing need to scrutinize whether these efforts align with truthful and purposeful concepts. Deviating from the right path could lead the world into an irreparable abyss. In this study, we aim to critically evaluate the accuracy of the UN’s sustainability definition and the Sustainable Development Goals derived from it. Our examination has been conducted with an open-minded approach, and we encourage utilizing the results for reevaluation rather than contentious debate. In essence, we contend that the UN’s sustainability definition and the 17 Sustainable Development Goals are fundamentally flawed, warranting the label of “bullshit.†We advocate for those committed to a sustainable world to unite in fostering a society based on simplicity.
