Whither Global Development?

Some 10 years ago, the United Nations came up with its Sustainable Development Goals, a series of objectives for the world around alleviating poverty and protecting the planet. But these days, it's clear that very few of those goals will be met by the target date of 2030. What happened? And what does the Trump administration's retreat from international development mean for the world? Adam and Cameron dig in. A note to potential advertisers: Ones and Tooze is looking for a lead sponsor interested in underwriting the show for a year in exchange for advertising and promotional opportunities in all 52 episodes. The package could also include a stage presence in Ones and Tooze live shows, an executive-level briefing by Adam and Cameron, and other crossover events.
