The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) which were adopted by
the United Nations in September 2015 are universally applicable in
all 193 UN Member States and connect the big challenges of our
time, such as hunger and poverty, climate change, health in an
urbanised environment, sustainable energy, mobility, economic
development and environmental degradation. Sustainability has the
characteristics of a 'wicked problem', for which there are no
one-size-fits-all solutions. This book tests the hypothesis that
the implementation of sustainable development, and in particular
the 2015 SDGs, requires tailor-made metagovernance or 'governance
of governance'. This is necessary to develop effective governance
and high quality and inclusive public administration and to foster
policy and institutional coherence to support implementing the
SDGs. Based on the growing literature on governance and
metagovernance, and taking into account the specificities of
societal factors such as different values and traditions in
different countries, the book presents a framework for the design
and management of SDG implementation. It shows how hierarchical,
network and market governance styles can be combined and how
governance failure can be prevented or dealt with. The book
presents an overview of fifty 'shades of governance' which differ
for each governance style, and a sketch of a concrete method to
apply sustainability metagovernance. Metagovernance for
Sustainability is relevant to academic and practitioner fields
across many disciplines and problem areas. It will be of particular
interest to scholars, students and policy-makers studying
Sustainable Development, Governance and Metagovernance, Public
Management and Capacity Building.
