Dear Sir, today everyone is talking about sustainability, but eventually no one follows the path of sustainable development. The Covid19 pandemic speaks a lot about the unhealthy rivalry amongst the top economies of the world.
That is why I just want to know that how to achieve sustainability?
I agree that covid 19 have disturbed a lot the political debate about sustainable development, however some countries have already achieved these goals, partially or all of them. This last group include very few countries and they are also small countries, however, they give hope for us that it is possible. Here you can see an overview of this topic and also how covid 19 disturbed the improvement of several goals :

I agree with your concern, but in my point of view we we still have hope to achieve SDG in 2030.
The sustainable development model, defined from the concept of sustainability of production systems, focuses on the objective of satisfying the needs of the present generation, without compromising the ability of future generations to compensate for their own.
Sustainable growth includes all. But I see heavy industrialization in India where corporate culture and corporate civilizations is increasing. Some products may be produced at local levels only which could save the environment. For example, milk should be manufactured and distributed at local levels only, since plastics used for packaging is deteriorating the environment health. The FSSAI (Food Safety and Standards Authority of India) should provide license to local manufacturers after strict testings.
Sustainable development permanent model never really exists, but in different regions and in different countries with different priorities, shifting scope of economic, environment and social can flexibly move between these three pillars, while in long term those regions or country need to balance their scope and priorities based on what they have develops. So in another words human in modern world should understand not only their consumptions but also their balance with nature, or otherwise the nature will takeover by themselves.
