Summary/Abstract: The paper investigates, whether the change of conceptualization of development with the Agenda 2030 for sustainable development transformed the institutional structure of the United Nations andwhether the Agenda 2030 is a breakthrough concept in development for humanity. Based on the discourse analysis of the resolutions of the UN General Assembly in sustainable development since the negotiations of the post-2015 agenda the paper looks at the movement of the UN GA in solving global problems and its conceptual direction towards Agenda 2030. Currently, global governance at the level of the UN GA includes peace and security as well as three dimensions of sustainable development: environmental, social and economic development. The author operates with conceptual definition of sustainable development and analyzes the change of paradigm and concept with the Agenda 2030.
