There are now stand-alone goals on inequalities, cities and human settlements, energy, climate change, sustainable consumption and production, and the protection of marine and terrestrial ecosystems. This broad agenda reflects human rights principles and standards and recognizes the interlinkages between different areas of development and the importance of environmental and climate protection for poverty reduction and human well-being. Nevertheless, the agenda is fraught with tensions both between different goals and between its normative aspirations and the suggested means of implementation that largely rely on trade, private finance and public-private partnerships (chapter 7).
