I suspect that political "correctness" led to the tragic omission of goals for ethics, land use, financial systems, and zero net growth (including population degrowth). It is essential that zero net growth, finance, land use, and ethics be addressed head on if any of these politically correct 17 goals are to be achievable.

Also some of the 17 are more fundamental than others. Education and work are very primary. Good health and well-being is entirely derivative. Partnerships are essential for all of the ecological goals.

The widely shared values of peace, justice are entirely essential for there to be strong positive institutions. Strong institutions are the definition of functional partnerships. Functional partnerships is another expression of governance and decision making.
