Abstract :This study draws attention to the importance of sustainable development goals in the growth of countries along with environmental disasters and climate events in recent years. In addition to the human development indicator, Hickel (2020) created the Sustainable Development Index (SDI), which includes the sustainable development of countries, including life expectancy, education and income, as well as CO2 emissions and carbon footprint data. This study aims to examine the relationship between SDI, Globalization Index and financial development of developed and developing countries in the 1990-2019. As a result of the Mean Group (MG) test, it is found that the error correction parameter is negative and statistically significant in developed and developing countries. As globalization increases in developed and developing countries, SDI also increases in the long run. Financial development affects SDI negatively in the long run for developed and developing countries. It is predicted that with the inclusion of all countries in the globalization process, it will contribute to the reduction of carbon emissions and the achievement of the goal of sustainable development.
