Confront production and consumption patterns
The tough bit.
A recent paper by ODI's Claire Melamed and UNDP's Paul Ladd discusses how a sustainable development framework might look. As well as meeting basic needs of people to eradicate poverty, and improving resource use efficiency, they touch on a much tougher possibility: 

"at a global level, the framework may confront the need to reshape production and consumption patterns so that they are consistent with planetary boundaries well into the future."

They suggest:

"The outcomes defined in these goals would be mainly about promoting global public goods and protecting key planetary boundaries. The partnerships would involve joint commitments to promote the sustainable use of natural resources and improve their equitable distribution.

A global goal in these areas would have environmental sustainability objectives, focused on promoting global public goods in the area of resource use and planetary boundaries. Implementing this type of goal would require all countries to agree an equitable way of managing common global resources, and ensuring that individual and collective use of the resources contributed the maximum possible to improving human welfare."
