Abstract

The UN Sustainable Development Goals are a top priority worldwide; however, their full implementation is susceptible to the high costs associated. This research invites the following question: is it financially prudent to implement the SDGs? This paper answers this query and discusses the necessity of increasing public knowledge of the financial advantages of achieving the global goals. The primary budgetary gaps to accomplish the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030 are also shown and discussed.
