Sustainable transitions through innovations, although beneficial, bring significant challenges. Sustainability is the idea of meeting present needs without compromising future generations to achieve their needs. However, statistics and studies show that sustainable development has caused unintended social and environmental harm. This chapter discusses the harmful impacts of innovation in sustainable development, which include the disruption to social norms, unintended adverse environmental effects, and relative privileges a nation may hold because of their resource availability. Followed by a literature review highlighting the disparity between developed and developing nations in micromanaging sustainable actions. Next, the chapter analyses sustainable actions and the underlying consequences of those actions that specific developed countries have conducted. Then discusses the issues faced by developing nations to manage their development responsibilities with their available resources. Finally, the chapter discusses potential recommendation to combat these adverse consequences through a united front and international legal framework called Sustainability for the Future Organization (SFTFO) that provides countries worldwide with social, environmental, and economic needs to match personal goals in achieving the UN sustainable goals.
