Abstract: Abstract Sustainable development is a theoretical framework used in practice to ensure that people’s needs can be met without limiting future populations’ access to resources (United Nations, 1987). Thus, sustainable development, by means of 17 indicators, addresses the major problems facing today’s society. The crisis situations are based on the trend of depletion of natural resources, deterioration and pollution of environmental factors and damage to life support systems (Rendtorff, 2019). Currently, all these factors have been compounded by the frequency of climate change and the outbreak of multiple military conflicts across the globe, the economic crisis and the health crisis. This complex of uncertainties has forced the signatory states of the 2015 Paris Agreement on climate change to adopt measures to alleviate social pressures, moving them away from the goals set out in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Under these circumstances, a reorientation towards sustainable development principles (social inclusion, clean energy, responsible consumption, guaranteed access to public services) is needed in order to ensure economic progress on a sustainable basis (Dousa, 2019).
