This book provides an overview of the essential concepts and terms related to the current global endeavour to implement the Sustainable Development Goals. SEI researchers contributed chapters on interaction and interlinkages, Stockholm+50, and sustainable finance.
With the first decade of the 15-year timespan of the 2030 Agenda now past, the SDGs show limited progress and several goals are even regressing. SDG implementation must be accelerated until 2030 and beyond to foster transformations and set the world onto a sustainable and resilient path. The book starts with a thematic introduction to contextualize the topic and set the stage for the individual entries. Following an A-Z format, with over 100 entries that describe an important concept or term, the authors use practical examples to illustrate how each entry connects to the overall debate about sustainable development. The book offers swift introductions to key concepts and terms that are discussed and explained by scholarly and policy experts from around the world in a concise and user-friendly way.
The guide is comprehensive in scope, practically oriented, and focused on political and societal processes to drive change on a larger scale. With cross-references to related terms in the entries, this book will be a highly valuable resource for students and practitioners engaged with the SDGs and sustainable development more broadly.
