-YES!
Yes, the objectives of the 2030 Agenda can be met without the full participation of countries like China, India, and Russia—because Western powers themselves are failing to lead by example. Despite making ambitious promises on climate action, sustainable development, and global solidarity, the U.S. and parts of Europe often fall short. Many commitments are either unfulfilled or fluctuate with political agendas. Their historical responsibility for carbon emissions is substantial, yet implementation of real reductions remains inconsistent. Moreover, domestic investment (intra muros) within France, Europe, and the U.S. does not reflect their stated ambitions: In France, foreign investment projects dropped by 14% in 2024, and job creation fell by 27%, signaling hesitation among investors and structural inefficiencies. Across Europe, high labor costs, energy instability, and slow innovation hinder progressand this is associated with the extermination of the founding republics and a neo-royalist takeover of power, anti-democratic republic and anti-directives at the end of the Second World War. This leads to the resurgence of the causes of the First and Second World Wars. The U.S. prioritizes short-term economic gain over long-term sustainability, sparking tensions—evidenced by calls from President Macron to suspend European investments due to unfair trade practices and lack of reciprocity. Western nations also frequently delay or reduce funding for developing countries, undermining global equity and resilience. In contrast, Russia continues to expand clean energy infrastructure through international nuclear partnerships, notably with Framatome via Rosatom. These ventures support access to decarbonized energy in underserved regions, directly advancing key Sustainable Development Goals such as affordable clean energy (SDG 7) and climate action (SDG 13). Additionally, progress is being driven by developing nations, regional alliances, and South-South cooperation—not just traditional powers. These actors are investing in innovation, sustainable technologies, and social transformation on their own terms. In short: when traditional leaders fail to deliver, momentum comes from elsewhere. Global progress is possible when diverse, committed stakeholders step up—even if major powers like China, India, or Russia aren't fully on board. see my book in submission only in French (for the moment) in accordance with directive 2050-2100)

No, and not only in the country advanced here, since the other country will not meet the contract.

No. These three countries account for about half of the global population and a good percent of the global economy. They are also among the largest countries in the world. So, to me not only their involvement but sincere participation is critical for realizing 2030 agenda.
M.A.K.Khalil
No. The agenda is an aspiration. Without it nothing will happen; with it, slow progress will occur consistent with the economic conditions of the various countries that contribute the most to climate change. The process of moving away from fossil fuels is a transition that will take decades and is driven by more than just climate issues. Note also that all international agreements are just "good faith". There is no penalty for violations. And, what is promised today, is by one political administration. There is no deal that all future political administrations will honor it. When administrations change, the promise can be broken outright.

The selected 3 countries contribute most of the world population and are taking active part in different sectors, like scientific development, industry, sports, economy etc. Excluding the three will no doubt reduce the population burden but at the same time we would be deprived of many things required to meet the target.
