Popis: The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 2016–2030 were unanimously adopted by the UN Summit General Assembly on 27 September 2015. Unlike the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) 2000–2015, the SDGs are holistic, cross-disciplinary and multi-stakeholder in participation. Whilst technology is highlighted as most important to achieve the SDGs, I would like to argue that increasing serious global problems like excessive consumption, religious fundamentalism, military confrontation, terrorism and gun violence, child obesity etc. have not been emphasized in the SDGs. Addressing these issues would require a mental revolution in society the foundation of which is the proper education of our children, especially evidence based education the scientific way.
