Introduction to SDGs, 4 pillars of SDGs: governance,


                  people, planet and prosperity


                  This module points to the recent development of the concept of sustainable development (or
                  sustainability). It summarizes the development of sustainability and builds upon it via the most
                  prominent approach, i.e. the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It then divides these goals
                  into four comprehensive pillars that help organizations and society better orient themselves in this
                  issue.


                  The concept of sustainable development in a nutshell (sustainability

                  milestones)

                  Sustainable development was described in the previous module. The recent development of this

                  concept is linked to so-called sustainable development goals (SDGs), which are associated with
                  the document entitled Transforming our world: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development
                  (UN, 2015).

                  To reiterate, the most significant milestones of sustainable development are listed in the table
