Environmental law is stuck in a stalemate between dynamic progression and stagnation. Public opinion is deeply concerned with environmentalism,1¹ yet as of late, governments across the globe can be seen to be pushing back against environmental law.2² It was not until a procrastinating scroll through Facebook led me to find the United Nations (UN) sustainable development goal merchandise, that I began to think about what an answer to this stalemate could be.3³ To see the UN promoting awareness of the 2015 goals on social media seemed initially strange, yet given the additional hours we have all clocked up on Facebook, shows the existence of a very coherent marketing strategy from the UN to raise awareness of these goals. But this, in turn, raises its own question, why now, in the middle of a global pandemic? In June, the UN published their Comprehensive Response to COVID-19, a document centred on the three pillars of ‘saving lives, protecting societies and recovering better’.4⁴ The response draws upon the objectives of the UN Sustainable Development Goals published in 2015 as part of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.5⁵

恢复更好：民用和环境需求的交叉视图

环境法陷入动态发展与停滞之间的僵局。舆论非常关心环境保护，1 ¹尚未为晚，全球各地的政府可以被看作是推回防环境law.2 ²直到通过Facebook拖拉滚动使我找到了联合国（UN ）可持续发展目标的商品，我开始思考什么样的答案，这种僵局可能be.3 ³看到联合国在社交媒体上宣传2015年目标的意识最初看起来很奇怪，但是鉴于我们所有人都在Facebook上加班，这表明联合国存在一种非常一致的营销策略来提高对这些目标的意识。但是，这反过来又提出了自己的问题，为什么现在正处于全球大流行之中？在6月，联合国发表了他们的综合响应COVID-19，文件上的三大支柱的“挽救生命，保护社会和恢复better'.4中心⁴响应借鉴了联合国可持续发展目标的公布，2015年的目标作为2030年可持续发展议程的一部分。5 ⁵
