| Abstract | The United Nations (UNO) has emerged as the central platform for advancing the global agenda of sustainable development through its 2030 Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). While the framework emphasises inclusivity, environmental responsibility, and social justice, its realisation is deeply shaped by political negotiations, power asymmetries, and diverse national interests. This paper critically examines the politics of sustainability within the UNO framework, highlighting both the achievements and challenges in implementing the SDGs. It explores how international cooperation, policy frameworks, and multilateral diplomacy contribute to sustainable futures, while also analysing the gaps between global commitments and local realities. By examining the interplay between global governance and domestic politics, the study highlights the importance of strengthening institutional mechanisms, promoting equity, and fostering accountability to ensure that sustainability is not merely a normative goal but a practical reality. The present paper investigates the role of non-state actors, including civil society, private institutions, and grassroots movements, in complementing the efforts of the UNO. Their participation not only brings legitimacy and inclusiveness to the sustainability discourse but also promotes accountability and innovative approaches in addressing pressing global issues, such as climate change, poverty eradication, and human rights protection. The analysis underscores that achieving sustainable futures requires a collaborative model where the UNO acts as a facilitator. At the same time, states and societies share equal responsibility in translating global aspirations into tangible outcomes. |
