Towards convergence in the environmental debate

​The UN has defined seventeen Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) which are benchmark goals for demonstrating environmental achievement (UNOOSA, 2020). I have identified seven discussion gaps in the environmental debate and the lessons learnt from the environmental wins have been applied to these discussion gaps. Additionally, the affected SDG has been identified for each discussion gap in Table 3.1. The objective of detailed enquiry of each discussion gap is the achievement of convergence of the respective narrative in each discussion gap. Thus, I have initiated a mechanism for bridging the divide between the opposing parties in the contemporary environmental narrative. Accordingly, this mechanism is a catalyst for the mitigation of pessimism held by students and by the general community regarding the future of the environment.
