This book examines the three pillars of sustainability (physical environment, social issues, and economic justice) and the progress and achievability of the United Nations’ (UN) 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in Canada, Guyana, India, Sri Lanka, and the USA. It presents data from interviews with 41 political and business leaders in these five countries to examine the political and professional effects on sustainability. In addition to the three pillars of sustainability, the author briefly examines the role of religion in sustainability as a potential fourth pillar.

The UN SDGs represent minimum targets for the global environmental, economic, and social pillars that underpin a sustainable future for our planet. The data presented in this book combined with the themes uncovered with the SDGs adds to our understanding of how we can potentially influence and achieve these targets and create a sustainable future for the world.
