This book contains assessment of the progress, or the lack of it,
in implementing the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Through review of the assessments and of case studies, readers can
draw lessons from the actions that could work to positively address
the goals. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development is designed
to catalyze action in critical areas of importance to humanity and
the planet. The effort to implement the SDGs, however, demands a
sense of urgency in the face of environmental degradation, climate
change, emerging conflicts, and growing inequality, among a number
of other socio-economic problems. Five years after the launch of
the 2030 Agenda, this book takes stock of how far the world has
come and how we can position ourselves to achieve the global
targets. The book is one of the first to assess how the
implementation is impeded by the onset of COVID-19. It contains a
special chapter on COVID-19 and the SDGs, while many thematic
chapters on different SDGs also assess how COVID-19 adversely
affects implementation, and what measures could be taken to
minimize the adverse effects. This publication thus provides a
fresh look at implementation of the SDGs highlighting impactful and
creative actions that go beyond the business-as-usual development
efforts. The volume reinforces this analysis with expert
recommendations on how to support implementation efforts and
achieve the SDGs through international and national strategies and
the involvement of both the public and private sectors. The result
is an indispensable textual tool for policy makers, academia,
intergovernmental organizations (IGOs) and non-governmental
organizations (NGOs), as well as the public, as we march toward the
2030 deadline.
