Embracing Simplicity: Integrating Mindful Consumption and Sustainable Practices into the Pursuit of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals

This abstract highlights the significance of simplicity as a fundamental principle for achieving sustainability within the framework of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) established by influential organizations such as the United Nations. Based on extensive research and literature, it argues that simplicity fosters mindful consumption, resource efficiency, and resilient communities. The abstract emphasizes the importance of integrating simplicity into the pursuit of sustainable development by raising awareness, implementing policies, and promoting collaboration among scholars and world organizations. By acknowledging the potential unintended consequences of the SDGs, such as the promotion of overconsumption, this study suggests that embracing simplicity can align the goals with sustainable practices and contribute to the establishment of a resilient and equitable world for both present and future generations
