Authoritative statistical data on economic, social, and environmental indicators in all countries are used, with particular attention to the most populated countries. It is shown that the radical economic ideas of neo-liberalism and degrowth fail to achieve their own objectives, while sustainable innovations generate continuous improvements with promising results. Sustainable development is driven by growing services and innovations dedicated to better uses of the natural resources and pollution prevention in all countries. Larger leisure time and knowledge work generate demands for sustainable innovations. While the global changes are slow, a few dozen countries have improved income, well-being, and environmental qualities due to moderate economic growth, capable population and democratic governances. Therefore, the shareholder greed for quick results, which generates cheap junk, can be turned toward valuable labour for quality services. This is demanded by consumers when supported by policies. Experiences of the past decades illustrate that many Sustainable Development Goals can be reached within the next generation if higher value, labour-intensive services and sustainable innovations are delivered. Policies can support this process. . 410 0$aEconomics and Finance Series 606 $aEnvironmental economics 606 $aEconomics 606 $aEconomic development 606 $aEnvironmental Economics 606 $aEconomics 606 $aEconomic Growth 615 0$aEnvironmental economics. 615 0$aEconomics. 615 0$aEconomic development. 615 14$aEnvironmental Economics. 615 24$aEconomics. 615 24$aEconomic Growth. 676 $a333.7 700 $aKrozer$b Yoram$0906128 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9911035053403321 996 $aEconomic Growth and the Environment$94451918 997 $aUNINA
