Summary The United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals define important challenges for the prosperous development of mankind. To reach several of these goals, among them the production of value‐added compounds, improved economic and ecologic balance of production processes, prevention of climate change and protection of ecosystems, the use of engineered bacteria can make valuable contributions. We discuss the strategies for genome engineering and how they can be applied to meet the United Nations’ goals for sustainable development.
