Abstract: This paper explores the intersections between the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Green Agenda, focusing on ecological, social, and economic challenges and opportunities in a global context. It emphasizes the role of international cooperation, technological innovations, and climate change mitigation in achieving sustainable growth and addressing environmental issues such as air pollution, biodiversity loss, and waste management. The study analyzes the impact of climate change, technological development, and energy transition, with a focus on the need for a fairer approach in the context of global disparities. While technological innovations such as artificial intelligence (AI) and blockchain offer potential solutions for sustainable development, they also present new challenges regarding energy consumption and environmental impact. The paper argues that a balanced approach is needed, integrating technological advancements with comprehensive ecological policies to ensure a fair and efficient green transition, especially in developing countries. It also calls for greater accountability and cooperation among nations, emphasizing climate justice to ensure that vulnerable populations are not disproportionately affected by environmental disasters.
