The core of the SDG programme relies on the old model of indefinite economic growth that caused our ecological crisis in the first place: ever-increasing levels of extraction, production and consumption.

In other words, there is a profound contradiction at the heart of these supposedly sustainable goals. They call for both less and more at the same time."
