Can the SDGs deal with transnational pollution and the environment?
The SDG slogan about people and the planet and the participation of the private sector in the development process cannot be realised while transnational corporations continue with ongoing atrocities against people and the planet. Who will hold them to account? Check out two pieces of viewing/reading that I came across today... The first is Sofia Ashraf challenging some of Unilever's biggest misleading statements about the company's mercury contamination of Kodaikanal, India. and the second is a Bureau of Investigative Journalism article about about Big Pharma and how its industrial waste is not just polluting the environment but also fuelling the rise of super bugs worldwide. https://www.thebureauinvestigates.com/2016/09/15/big-pharmas-industrial-waste-fuelling-rise-superbugs-worldwide/
