Abstract: The challenges of the 21st century require resilient societies and a robust international regulatory framework [1]. The current disruptions to the global framework (most notably by the Covid-19 pandemic and the war on Ukraine) as well as the historic experiences especially of the Great Depression and the Lehman crisis (Annex II) elucidate the importance of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as a global regulatory framework. The SDGs provide new targets for resilient development. In this paper we set specific focus especially on SDG 17 “Partnerships for the Goals” and its aim of a free multilateral trading system (Annex I, SDG 17.10-17.12) for sustainable development [2]. Against this background the German Resilience Index was developed as a new measure for defining the resilience of the German society based on the SDGs including the explicit consideration of trade dynamics.
