Abstract

This research paper aims to understand the relationship between the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda and free trade. Whether trade and its externalities affect its fulfilment or whether the Agenda on itself considers trade’s effects. The first part of the work introduces general concepts, outlining externalities of trade and the role of transport in trade. The second part addresses the 2030 Agenda and its goals. The final section answers the previously introduced question: “Does the Agenda face the negative effects of free trade?” To answer it, this work analyses how trade issues are treated in the Agenda, any incompatibilities or contradictions the sustainable development goals face by themselves and other problems within the Agenda. This paper also examines how all the effects that trade has on the Agenda are taken into account and proposes a few solutions to the problems found.; Este trabajo de investigación tiene como objetivo entender la relación entre la Agenda 2030 para el Desarrollo Sostenible y el libre comercio, analizando cómo el comercio y sus externalidades afectan la realización de la Agenda y cómo ésta considera por si misma las consecuencias del comercio. La primera parte del trabajo introduce los conceptos generales, así como una breve descripción de las externalidades del comercio y el papel del transporte en él. La segunda parte aborda la Agenda 2030 y sus objetivos. Y, finalmente, la última sección responde la pregunta previamente presentada: “¿Hace frente la Agenda a las consecuencias negativas del libre comercio?” Para responderla, se analiza la manera en que los problemas derivados del comercio son tratados en la Agenda y las incompatibilidades o contradicciones que enfrentan los objetivos de desarrollo sostenible. Este documento también examina cómo toma en cuenta la Agenda las consecuencias del comercio y propone algunas soluciones a los problemas encontrados.
