Bc. Qian Zhang

Bachelor's thesis

Abstract:

<Changing our World: The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development> was formally adopted at the UN Sustainable Development Summit, marking the formal establishment of the Global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). About half of this is related to the sustainability of the environment and natural resources, including poverty, health, food and agriculture, water and sanitation, human settlements, energy, climate change, sustainable consumption and production, Marine and terrestrial ecosystems. Environmental issues occupy an important place in the 2030 Agenda, and the implementation of environmental goals will vigorously promote the global implementation of the 2030 Agenda. Based on SDG Index and SDG Dashboards, this paper analyses China's achievement of the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals and the current challenges facing China's ecological environment indicators, and finds that climate change is becoming one of the pressing challenges we are facing. By comparing the automobile manufacturing industry in China and Europe, this paper looks at the topic from the perspective of enterprises and discusses the changes of business challenges and opportunities that companies may face in terms of climate. It finds that the 2030 Sustainable development plan has a great impact on Chinese enterprises.
