Abstract
Sustainability, a focus of attention in many contexts including career development, is a systems problem. Systems thinking is essential to consider, and find solutions to, sustainability. Career development’s responses to issues such as poverty, gender inequality, and environmental issues can be underpinned by social justice. This article considers the question “What are the implications of the sustainable development agenda for career development?” to enhance understanding of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and foster awareness of the relationship between career development and sustainability. Social justice and systems thinking are proposed as lenses for engaging with sustainability.
