Abstract

The approval of 17 goals and 169 targets for sustainable development by the
United Nations Conference on Post-2015 Development Agenda is unquestionably
an advancement for humanity. Economic development alone is however
unsatisfactory: it must be paired with human development, respect for the
environment and sound governance. Drawing from litigation and
jurisprudential development from the Brazilian judiciary, this short legal
commentary evaluates the role of the judiciary in promoting sustainable
development, especially the attainment of the United Nations Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs).
