along with a burgeoning population, is the root cause of climate change and

n the surface, the
Sustainable Development Goals, soon to be confirmed by the United Nations, seem
noble and progressive. They seek to free the human race from the tyranny of
poverty and hunger while creating sustainable and resilient societies.
But look beneath the surface of this pleasant rhetoric and
one comes face to face with a far more ominous vision of development: a vision
that is fundamentally compromised by corporate interests and ultimately doomed
to failure, if not catastrophe.
