== Global governance framework ==
The most comprehensive [[global governance]] framework for sustainable development is the ''2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development'' with its 17 [[Sustainable Development Goals]] (SDGs).<ref name=":5">{{Cite journal |last1=de Jong |first1=Eileen |last2=Vijge |first2=Marjanneke J. |date=2021 |title=From Millennium to Sustainable Development Goals: Evolving discourses and their reflection in policy coherence for development |journal=Earth System Governance |language=en |volume=7 |pages=100087 |doi=10.1016/j.esg.2020.100087|doi-access=free|bibcode=2021ESGov...700087D }} [[File:CC-BY icon.svg|50px]] Text was copied from this source, which is available under a [https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License]</ref> This agenda was a follow-up to the Millennium Declaration from the year 2000 with its eight [[Millennium Development Goals]] (MDGs), the first comprehensive global governance framework for sustainable development.<ref name=":5" /> The SDGs have concrete targets (unlike the results from the Rio Process) but no methods for sanctions.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2012-06-12 |title=Why Rio failed in the past and how it can succeed this time |url=https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2012/jun/12/rio20-agenda-politicians-john-gummer |website=[[The Guardian]]}}</ref><ref name=":10">{{Cite book |last=Berg |first=Christian |title=Sustainable action: overcoming the barriers |date=2020 |isbn=978-0-429-57873-1 |location=Abingdon, Oxon |oclc=1124780147}}</ref>{{rp|137}} They contain goals, targets and indicators for example in the areas of [[poverty reduction]], [[environmental protection]], human prosperity and [[peace]].<ref name=":5" />

Scholars who are investigating global environmental governance have identified a set of discourses within the public space that mostly convey four sustainability frames: mainstream sustainability, progressive sustainability, a limits discourse, and radical sustainability.<ref name=":6">{{Cite journal |last=Sénit |first=Carole-Anne |date=2020 |title=Transforming our world?

Second, ''progressive sustainability'' is an economically conservative, yet politically reformist approach. Under this framing, sustainable development is still centered on economic growth but human well-being and development can only be achieved through a redistribution of power to even out inequalities between developed and developing countries. Third, a ''limits discourse'' is an economically reformist, yet politically conservative approach to sustainability. Fourth, ''radical sustainability'' is a transformative approach seeking to break with existing global economic and political structures.<ref name=":6" />
