Abstract

The relationship between foreign direct investment (FDI) and sustainable development is controversial. Studies on the concrete benefits of FDI for sustainable development have not yielded clear results. Nevertheless, sustainable development is central to the ongoing reform process of international investment law. Ideally, international investment agreements (IIAs) should promote the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In any case, IIAs should not undermine national implementation of the SDGs. The following analysis and conceptualization of current developments and legal standards for international investment law will be presented.
