Global collective action does not come to an end when decisions are made; rather, these decisions introduce new practices into a complex political process that can introduce new actors, new ideas, and new actions for long-term sustainability. It is critical to examine the decision-making processes and transformative ideas that are recorded in those decisions in order to deconstruct the practices of global governance that can contribute to a transformation toward sustainability. While neither procedures nor concepts guarantee transformation, they do assist in comprehending the potential consequences.
The SDGs provide an opportunity to permanently alter the nature of development by making environmental and social sustainability a defining feature of economic activity. When compared to other global governance efforts, the formation process of the SDGs was unique, and it can help us understand the transformative impact of key factors such as leaders in international negotiations, civil society inclusion, and efforts to work around the negotiating blocks that plague most global environmental governance decisions.
The 2030 Agenda, which includes 17 SDGs, 169 goals, and 232 indicators, that have been agreed upon by all governments, aims to “change the world.” Many governments at all levels, as well as the corporate sector to some extent, are enthusiastic about launching plans to implement the SDGs. Many national governments have established SDG implementation mechanisms and are working to integrate the goals into national planning. Despite the SDGs inspiring a lot of hope and enthusiasm, as well as some swift first attempts, many governments and stakeholders are unsure how to move on with real activities. However, important implementation tools such as finance and technology have the potential to transform the way people think about sustainability.

I am just thinking in my childhood we lived sustainably. At that time we don’t have plastics, we take a cloth bag to purchase groceries and the street vendors pack products on separate paper and gave us. There is no plastic use. We used to swim in a pond which is nonusable now because of sewage pollution and the main reason is tapped water in each house which loses the ownership over the lake by village people. Now lot of behavioral changes happened after globalization, people are moving faster and easily accessible materials one such change is single-use plastic. they purchase groceries in a plastic cover and street vendors gone: supermarkets emerged in all small towns, where they sell products packed in single use plastic. In my opinion, Any activities should be from the grassroots level, without the behavioral changes at grassroots level no changes will happen at large scale. As in the course rightly mentioned about the civil society organizations they are the major driving factors to take forward real changes on the ground.
