The ambitious 15-year agenda known as the Sustainable Development
Goals, adopted in 2015 by all members of the United Nations,
contains a pledge that "no one will be left behind." This book aims
to translate that bold global commitment into an action-oriented
mindset, focused on supporting specific people in specific places
who are facing specific problems.In this volume, experts from
Japan, the United States, and other countries address a range of
challenges faced by people across the globe, including women and
girls, smallholder farmers, migrants, and those living in extreme
poverty. These are many of the people whose lives are at the heart
of the aspirations embedded in the 17 Sustainable Development
Goals. They are the people most in need of such essentials as
health care, quality education, decent work, affordable energy, and
a clean environment. This book is the result of a collaboration
between the Japan International Cooperation Research Institute and
the Global Economy and Development program at Brookings. It offers
practical ideas for transforming "leave no one behind" from a
slogan into effective actions which, if implemented, will make it
possible to reach the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030. In
addition to policymakers in the field of sustainable development,
this book will be of interest to academics, activists, and leaders
of international organizations and civil society groups who work
every day to promote inclusive economic and social progress.
