The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development aims to change the world’s system of governance by introducing more justice in the distribution of material goods and services and protecting at the same time humankind’s natural foundations of existence from degradation. Although not binding in legal terms, the Agenda traces the lines for political action aiming to make social and economic rights a reality for everyone. International law descends from its high horse of intergovernmental relations to address the vital needs and interests of the common man or woman like poverty and hunger. In this sense, one can speak of a project aiming to establish a true international community whose guiding principle is equality within and among nations. Through its mechanism of monitoring and review the Agenda attempts to involve all societal forces for the objective of development. The great challenge is to translate the Agenda into concrete action, leaving the province of diplomatic statements.

2030 年可持续发展议程旨在通过在物质商品和服务的分配中引入更多正义，同时保护人类生存的自然基础免遭退化，从而改变世界治理体系。尽管在法律上没有约束力，但该议程追溯了旨在使每个人的社会和经济权利成为现实的政治行动路线。国际法源于其政府间关系的高马，旨在解决普通男人或女人的重要需求和利益，例如贫困和饥饿。从这个意义上说，可以说是一个旨在建立一个真正的国际社会的项目，其指导原则是国家内部和国家之间的平等。通过其监测和审查机制，议程试图让所有社会力量参与到发展目标中来。最大的挑战是将议程转化为具体行动，而不是外交声明。
