Encouraged by Millennium Development Goals put forward in 2000 to alleviate poverty by 50 percent by 2015 that was achieved already in 2013, United Nations put forward “The 2030 agenda for Sustainable Development.” After the 2015 summit for sustainable development, 17 “Sustainable Development Goals” (SDGs) were introduced (United Nations,Transforming our world: The 2030 agenda for sustainable development,2015). The main purpose of these goals is to alleviate inequalities and injustice and create a healthy environment for all. These SDGs are interconnected, and meeting the target for one goal is imperative on the progress made in achieving at least some of the other goals. MNEs are considered crucial for achieving SDGs. In this chapter, we illustrate what role MNEs can play in achieving each of these goals. We look at the impact of new realities that emerged since 2015, particularly the pandemic, and assess what is realistic to achieve and how. We also discuss the role IB researchers can play toward this pursuit.
