Abstract

Economic inequality poses a significant challenge in achieving sustainable development goals on a global aspect. The present paper delves into the complex relationship between economic inequality and sustainability trends, exploring how disparities in income and wealth distribution influence environmental degradation. In order to answer the present question, the author proposes a multidimensional approach, incorporating theoretical frameworks, empirical evidence, and a case study in order to highlight the impact of inequality. The paper examines the mechanisms through which economic inequality hampers progress towards sustainability. Also, it explores potential pathways for reducing these challenges, in ways that include policy interventions, community initiatives, and corporate CSR approaches. By exploring the existing literature and offering insights into future research directions, this paper contributes to a deeper understanding of the complex interconnection between economic inequality and sustainability, in the end aiming to inform strategies for fostering more equitable and environmentally resilient societies.
