A detailed examination of the UN's Sustainable Development Goals
and the shift in governance strategy they represent. In September
2015, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Sustainable
Development Goals as part of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable
Development. The Sustainable Development Goals built on and
broadened the earlier Millennium Development Goals, but they also
signaled a larger shift in governance strategies. The seventeen
goals add detailed content to the concept of sustainable
development, identify specific targets for each goal, and help
frame a broader, more coherent, and transformative 2030 agenda. The
Sustainable Development Goals aim to build a universal, integrated
framework for action that reflects the economic, social, and
planetary complexities of the twenty-first century. This book
examines in detail the core characteristics of goal setting, asking
when it is an appropriate governance strategy and how it differs
from other approaches; analyzes the conditions under which a
goal-oriented agenda can enable progress toward desired ends; and
considers the practical challenges in implementation. Contributors
